Cooking Question

Hi.....I need your help please.

My family don't eat pork because I don't really know how to cook it.

Well today I purchased a nice lean 800gram Pork Scotch Fillet Roast ( already in a net ).....what do I do with it now.

How do you suggest I cook it...and how long do I cook it for?

Should I marinate it..season it or something as well?

I would love to cook it so it turns out moist and tender....

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Cook at 180 degrees - 25minutes for every 500g of meat (so in your case you'll be cooking for just under an hour). I don't think you need to season it with anything - just have a healthy serve of apple sauce on the side.

at 180 degrees for 50 min for A 800g roast pork? no way! the outside will cook but the inside will still be close to raw! it's the same rule for roast beef, and i cooked a 500 g one for about 1 hour on low heat in the oven, then for 2 hours on moderate (180) and it was the best ever....beautiful and tender, melt in ya mouth! u know....if you do things like that with white meat, its the quickest way to get food poisoned?

HI there

It all depends on what sort of end result you are after for your pork.... my family LOVE the crackling on a pork, so I heat my oven to a very high temperature (200 -220) before I put my pork in the oven, while the oven is heating, I scor the rind on the diangonal then rub in a generous amount of salt and drizzle with olive oil to ensure that there is that really crispy crackle... so I would leave the pork in the very high oven for around and hour then turn it down so that it is at a moderate temperature... and cook it for around 40 - 50 minutes per 500grams of meat.... hope this helps you out, I have found it interesting to see how other people cook pork...

Good Luck and Bon appetite!!!

Chelle

other than putting it in the oven another thing is ,, get yourself a slow cooker i hate to cook but we all got to do it ,, i got one and love it ,, i put any meat in it add a little water garlic salt ,onion  etc,, or spices and you leave it on slow cook for about 3 or 4 hours depending on the size of the meat   you check it now and then ,, ,, it always comes out soo soft and tender ,, thats just an idea for future anyway xxxxxxx

Sear all sides of pork roast in a frying pan first to seal in juices.

Heat oven to 180 and cook for 50-60 mins per kilo.  Rub some vegetable oil on top to stop it drying out. If it has crackle on it then rub on some sea salt as well for crispyness. It's up to you whether you baste during cooking. When it's cooked insert skewer and if juices are pinky to clear then it's done.  Wrap in foil and cover with a tea towel and let stand for 10-15 mins. As it will keep cooking and seal in the juices.

 Carve and enjoy!

Thank you.....

The roast is already in a net to keep it's shape...and it doesn't have crackling on it..

I know loads of people love the crackling bits....but my chunk of meat is very lean.

If all else fails....I'll just slice it up and turn it into a stirfry

hey there my gypsie girl....

my advice to you is to purchase some "glad" oven bags and cook it in one of those.
What you do is you put a tablespoon of plain flour in the bag and shake it around, whack the meat in and whack it in the oven according to the time on the bag! I would say for about 1 hour on low heat to give it a chance to cook in the middle, then for a further hour and a half on moderate heat!
There are seasonings you can buy....but seasoned pork doesn't taste too good with apple sauce LOL.
OH and make sure you take bag out of oven every half hour to shake it! you also need about 7 or 8 holes stabbed in bag so it doesn't explode!
Hope this helps!

Love Kayla.

Thanks for the input sweet...

Glad oven bags.....I'd be lost without them....it's the only way to roast for me...they're great.

I keep the juices from the roasts as well and use them as stock in soups, sauces etc

and occasionally use it to make the gravy....but the other uses are more common for me.
