Notes

  • When dealing with a pork roast, I always like to have a meat thermometer on hand to achieve the desired temperature without any worry.
  • Roast your pork roast fat side up, this helps add extra flavor as the juices run through the roast, instead of inside the pan.
  • Allow your pork rib roast to rest for 10 minutes after being removed from the oven. This locks in as much moisture and juice as possible.
  • This recipe for bone-in pork rib roast also works with a boneless pork roast!
