Make sure to remove the meat 1 to 2 hours from the refrigerator before cooking. Heat oven to 450degrees. Place the pork to a baking sheet and roast it for about 35 to 40 minutes. Set the temperature to 325 degrees and cook it in additional 2 ½ hours to 4 hours. Insert the thermometer and check if the thickest part of the meat reads 180 degrees.
