I'm making a pork loin roast this evening. Do I roast it with the fat side up or down?!
Marginally less Fat=Fat side down.
Answers: Flavor=Fat side up.

fat side down for good juices to make gravy!
Fat sides generally go down with roasts
I always do fat side up so juices go through the meat. There will still be plenty of drippings for gravy. I have never heard of putting fat side down.
Always fat side up so the the juices flow over the meat...
I have not heard of putting the fat side down. Think about it, you want those flavors to drip down your roast to make it tender and juicy.
Definitely cook it fat side up. You can always easily remove the fat later and best of all, don't forget to make a gravy from the drippings in the bottom of your pan.
Happy eating :)
