Pork Tenderloin & Pork Chops 2 Ways
Many people ask me about cooking pork. The USDA recommends cooking all cuts of pork to at least an internal temperature of 160° F. This ensures that potentially harmful bacteria are destroyed. Some people may choose to cook their meat to lower temperatures, depending on preference.
Color is not a reliable way to tell when pork is safe to eat. Use an instant read thermometer to remove the guesswork. Depending on the cut, roasting time should be about 30 minutes per pound at 350° F.
