Boneless pork loin roast internal temperature?

The safe internal temperature for a boneless pork loin roast is 145°F (63°C). This temperature ensures that any harmful bacteria are killed.

Here's a breakdown:

* USDA recommendation: The USDA recommends cooking pork to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for at least 15 seconds.

* Resting time: After removing the pork loin from the oven, let it rest for at least 3 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.

Tips for checking internal temperature:

* Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bone.

* Don't rely on visual cues, as pork can appear cooked before it reaches the safe temperature.

Important Note: While the USDA recommends 145°F, some chefs and home cooks prefer to cook pork to a higher temperature, around 150-155°F (65-68°C), for a more well-done roast. Ultimately, the final temperature is up to your preference.
