Quick answer
Which cut of pork is best for roasting?
For a juicy roast, go for shoulder or neck — the fat keeps the meat tender. Tenderloin is the leanest and cooks fast, so watch it so it doesn't dry out.

Frequently asked questions
How long does roast pork take?
A shoulder or neck roast needs about an hour and a half to two at 160–180 °C, depending on size. Baste it as it goes and leave it uncovered near the end to turn golden.
Does pork need to be fully cooked through?
Tenderloin or a chop can stay slightly pink inside — an internal temperature of about 63 °C plus a few minutes' rest is enough. Ground pork and ribs should always be cooked through.
How do I get crispy crackling on pork belly?
Score the skin in a crosshatch, dry it thoroughly, and salt it. Roast low and slow until tender, then crank up the heat at the end so the skin puffs up crisp.
What can I cook with pork quickly?
A schnitzel, a pan-fried chop, or pork in paprika sauce is on the table in half an hour. Tenderloin sliced into medallions cooks in minutes too.
What do you serve with roast pork?
Bread dumplings with braised cabbage are the classic; potato dumplings, spinach, or just fresh bread with the pan juices work too. A sharper sauerkraut cuts nicely through the richer meat.
