Notes
Testing for Doneness in Pork
To be sure pork is fully cooked, check the internal temperature with an instant-read meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer 2 to 2½ in. into the thickest part of the meat, not touching any bones - it should read 145°F. If checking thinner pieces, such as pork chops, insert the thermometer through the side of the meat. After pork registers 145ºF, remove from heat and let it stand 3 minutes before serving.
