What is the appropriate cooking time for a two pound pork roast?
Put the roast in the 450 degree preheated oven. The hot temperature is going to give the roast a nice golden color. Set the timer for 10 minutes. When the timer goes off re-set the oven temperature to 250 degrees. Continue cooking for about 50-80 minutes or until the meat registers 150 degrees on a meat thermometer. Some roasts are long and thin and others are short and fat, consequently the cooking times will vary depending on the shape of your roast. The meat thermometer is the best way to judge the right amount of cooking time. Sources: http://startcooking.
