How do I know pork is fully cooked?
As pork is a lean and versatile meat that can be enjoyed in various dishes, it is essential to know how to cook it to ensure it is safe to eat properly.
The most reliable method to determine if pork is fully cooked is by using a meat thermometer.
Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding any bones, and verify that it reads at least 145°F (63°C).
Another method to check for doneness is by cutting into the thickest portion of the meat and ensuring that it is tender and juicy, with no pink color remaining. (although checking the internal temperature is the only way to know for sure!)
Remember that undercooked pork can lead to food-borne illnesses, so always cooking it to the correct temperature is crucial.

How do I store leftover cooked pork?
If you’re wondering how to store leftover cooked pork, you should keep a few things in mind to ensure it stays safe to eat.
First, make sure the pork is completely cooled before storing it. This can help prevent bacterial growth.
Second, store the pork in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep air out. Finally, you can store cooked pork in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.
Properly storing your leftover pork can help you save time and money while staying safe and healthy.
