Take care not to go all the way through the chop so that the thermometer makes contact with the pan (I like to go into the chop at about a 45Â° angle). This temperature guideline, by the way, is the rule for pork tenderloin, too, but ground pork should be cooked to 160Â°.
Place pork on a rack over a roasting dish and put in oven. Roast for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 150Â°C and continue cooking for 45 minutes per 500g. To check pork is cooked, pierce the thickest part with a knife: if the juices run clear, the pork is cooked.
