Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Pork is a good source of zinc, which is important in energy metabolism and for growth and development.
  • tip 2
    Complete the meal by adding 1/2 cup cooked linguine, a small slice of French bread and 1/2 cup steamed asparagus for each serving to get 2 1/2 Carbohydrate Choices.
  • tip 3
    For moist and tender pork, look for roasts that have been injected with a brine solution.
  • tip 4
    Roast Directions: Heat oven to 400ºF. Place pork on rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork and does not rest in fat.
