How Long To Cook Pork

How Long it takes your pork to cook will depend on the size and thickness so use the cooking time as an estimate. Pork loin typically takes 20 to 25 minutes a pound. Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Use an instant-read thermometer to help you determine when it is done. Overcooked pork will taste dry and tough.

Recipe Tips
