How long do you cook a 3 pound boneless pork roast?

It's impossible to give you an exact cooking time without knowing more about your cooking method and desired doneness. Here's why, and what you need to consider:

Factors Affecting Cooking Time:

* Cooking Method: Oven roasting, slow cooking, pressure cooking, grilling, etc., all have different cook times.

* Roast Shape: A long, thin roast will cook faster than a round one.

* Oven Temperature: Higher temperatures cook faster, but can lead to dryness.

* Desired Doneness: Do you want it medium-rare, medium, or well-done?

* Bone-in vs. Boneless: Bone-in roasts take longer to cook.

Here's how to figure out the cooking time:

1. Choose your cooking method: This will determine the best temperature and approximate cooking time.

2. Check a recipe: Search for a recipe for your chosen cooking method and a 3-pound roast.

3. Use a meat thermometer: This is the most reliable way to ensure your pork is cooked to the safe internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

General Guidelines:

* Oven Roasting: 30-45 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C) for a boneless roast.

* Slow Cooker: 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high.

* Pressure Cooker: 45-60 minutes.

Remember: It's always better to err on the side of undercooking and check the temperature with a meat thermometer. You can always cook it a little longer if needed.
