Tips for Roast pork

Cut the rind only to the fat

Cut the diamond with a sharp knife through the rind, but not deep into the meat. Thus, fat can come out without the roasting loses unnecessary juice.

Dry surface before salting

A dry-washed rind takes salt better and becomes crisper in the oven. Moist marinades therefore do not belong to the later crust.

Leave the roasting to rest before cutting

Let the finished roast pork rest loosely covered for 10 to 15 minutes. The meat juice is distributed and the slices remain juicyer when cutting.

Variations

Frequently asked questions

FAQ about Roast pork

Pork shoulder is well marbled and remains juicy during long cooking. For a pronounced crust, a piece with rind is suitable, often offered as a crust roast.

Keep the rind dry, salt vigorously and finally crunch with top heat or grill function. Stay in the oven because it can burn within a few minutes.

On shoulder, a core temperature of about 75 to 80 degrees is a good benchmark. More importantly, a skewer penetrates easily and the meat is delicate.

Yes. Cool meat and sauce separately, but do not cover the crust. Heat slices later in a little sauce and refresh the rind briefly under the grill.
