    Tips

    • It’s a great idea to have a meat thermometer on hand to check the pork’s internal temperature. This helps to make sure you get the perfect cook.
    • Don’t forget to have an airtight container on hand for any leftovers. Make sure to store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
