Many pork cuts are interchangeable, but cooking times may vary. For example, tenderloin cooks faster than shoulder. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure doneness.
Searing pork before slow cooking or roasting isn't mandatory, but it adds a caramelized crust and depth of flavor to the finished dish.
Pork is considered safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), followed by a three-minute rest. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
