How long do I cook this pork roast?!
Answers: I am cooking a center cut pork roast. It weighs 2.5 pounds. How long do I cook it for, and at what temp? Thanks!
Asmall roast like that should take from 1 1/2 to 2 Hrs at 350 Deg. F. To test for doneness, poke into the center of the roast and note the color of the bleeding. If it is clear, the roast is done. But any hint of red or even pink , put it back into the oven and chack it again in ten to fifteen minutes. However, if it does not bleed, then it is very well-done.
I like cooking mine until it falls apart in a crock pot on low with smoked salt & bbq sauce.
I cook mine until the center is at 170 degrees. That is being smoked in the grill for about an hour.
At 325 F about 2 hrs. Let the roast bake uncovered for about 1 hr and 15 min. Always pour a little liquid over it once in a while so it doesn't dry out, then cover it lightly with some foil and let it bake 45 min. more. If you have a meat thermometer, stick it in the roast before baking and at the end it should read 155C. Take the roast out of the oven and let stand 10 min. before slicing.
