  3. Dry roast uncovered on rack.
    • For a roast up to 6 lbs. cook at 500 ˚F for 20 minutes.
    • For a large roast 6 lbs. (or more) cook at 500 ˚F for ½ hour.
  4. Reduce cooking temperature to 350 ˚F and roast for 15-18 minutes per pound OR until the internal temperature reads as follows:
    • 135 ˚F for medium rare
    • 145 ˚F for medium
  5. Let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes. Tent with foil while resting.  Roast will continue to cook 5-10 ˚F more while resting.

Fresh Ham Bone-In or Boneless

  1. Preheat oven to 325 ˚F.
  2. Cut slits in the roast and insert cloves of garlic, sprinkle with salt and pepper, seasoned salt.
  3. Roast uncovered. For a bone-in ham it’s 25-30 minutes per lb.  For a boneless ham it’s 35-40 minutes per lb.  The internal temperature should be between 160 – 170 ˚F. Do not exceed 170˚F it will lead to overcooking.

*For bone-in ham make sure that the thermometer doesn’t touch the bone. This will lead to an inaccurate temperature.


Fresh Pork Loin Roast with Bone

  1. Preheat oven to 325 ˚F.
  2. Put loin roast fat side up on bone in roasting pan or on rack in roasting pan.
  3. Sprinkle with seasoned salt or your favorite spices.
  4. In order to determine cooking time, it is 30-35 minutes per lb.
  5. Cover the roast with foil for the first half of your cooking time.
  6. Meat temperature should be between 160 – 170 ˚F when done. Do not exceed 170˚F. This will lead to over cooking and will dry the roast out.

*For boneless pork loin, prepare the same as above but for cooking time it should be 35-40 minutes per lb.  Roast on a rack if you have one.

* For crown roast prepare the same as above.  If the crown roast is stuffed add an additional 25-30 minutes to the cooking time. Cover rib bones with foil until 30 minutes before finished.
