How to Roast

01

Preheat the oven

According to the recipe or information below.

02

Prepare the meat

Brush the pork roast with oil and season before browning the roast all over in a frypan (optional). Transfer to a roasting dish and place into the pre-heated oven. See here for tips to get that perfect crackling.

03

Cook

Cook for the calculated time using the estimates below. For best results, we recommend using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meat – but it’s not essential.

04

Rest

Once cooked rest for 10-20 minutes before carving.

Tips and tricks

Bring the meat to room temperature

For best results, meat should be brought to room temperature prior to cooking.

Don’t overcook

Roast pork can be eaten with a hint of pink in the middle – there’s no need for dry pork.

Cut across the grain

Always cut meat across the grain to keep it tender.
