What Temperature Should A Pork Roast Be Cooked To?
Pork roast should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) followed by a 3-minute rest time before carving or consuming. This temperature is considered safe to kill off any harmful bacteria present in the meat. Overcooking pork roast can result in a dry and tough texture. Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to ensure that the correct temperature has been reached.
