How long do you cook 1 pounds of ground pork in oven?

You shouldn't cook ground pork in the oven. Here's why and how you should cook it:

* Safety: Ground pork needs to reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) to kill harmful bacteria. The oven isn't the best way to ensure this temperature is reached evenly throughout the meat.

* Moisture: Cooking ground pork in the oven tends to dry it out.

Recommended methods for cooking ground pork:

* Skillet: Brown ground pork in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This is the quickest and easiest way to cook it.

* Slow Cooker: Ground pork is delicious in slow cooker recipes. It can be cooked in a slow cooker on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours.

* Instant Pot: The Instant Pot can quickly cook ground pork, especially in recipes that require browning or simmering.

General cooking time:

* Skillet: 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.

* Slow Cooker: 4-6 hours on low, 2-3 hours on high.

* Instant Pot: 5-10 minutes, depending on the recipe.

Important Note: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your ground pork reaches the safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
