DIRECTIONS
Get the EXACT weight of roast from the meat wrapper.
Weight will determine how long to cook the roast.
Preheat oven to 550 degrees.
Remove roast from refrigerator. Season roast as desired. Place seasoned roast in an uncovered roasting pan.
Bake EXACTLY 5 1/2 minutes PER POUND.
Turn oven OFF and DO NOT open oven door for 1 hour.
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes to redistribute internal juices.
Roast will be done, very slightly pink in the center, and very moist.
NOTE:******* For anyone questioning this method of cooking, it really does reach the proper internal temperature on a thermometer.
After resting 5-10 minutes, the roast should reach 145-150 degrees.
According to Sara Moulton on FoodTV, salmonella is killed at 138 degrees, and 145 is a safe temperature for pork, although the USDA recommends 160 degrees (meat will be drier).
