Cooking a 5 pound pork sirloin roast [duplicate]
Put a 5 pound pork sirloin roast in oven at 175 degrees F for two hours. Then turned up oven to 350F for two hours. Is it safe to eat?
Best Answer
The only way to tell if a pork roast has been cooked long enough is by taking an internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer in several places around the thickest portion of the roast.
The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145° F. (medium rare) and 160° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10° F while resting, remove them from the heat at 150° F. followed by a 10 minute rest.

That will be about 40 minutes per pound at 300\xb0F. Tip: Use an instant read thermometer to check it after 25 minutes per pound and then again every 5 minutes per pound after that. So if you have a 5 pound roast, you'll check it after 125 minutes (about 2 hours) and then every 25 minutes or so after that.How long does it take to cook 5 lb pork loin?
For a 3-5 lb. roast, this will be 20-25 minutes per pound. (I actually take mine out at 135-140\xb0F but that isn't recommended to be safe.

It's divided into three main parts: The blade comes from the section closest to the shoulder, sirloin cuts are near the rump and the center section falls between them. All three loin sections are used for roasts, because a pork roast is determined by the amount of meat being sold.Pork Sirloin Roast
