meat and fat.
Roast the pork for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 425 degrees F and roast for an
additional hour. Test for doneness using an instant-read thermometer. When the internal
temperature reaches 155 degrees F, remove the roast from the oven. Allow it to sit for
about 20 minutes before carving. It will continue to cook while it rests.
