COOKING LARGE QUANTITY OF ROAST LOIN OF PORK
Cooked up by greenfingerjohn on the 09 June 2008.
I need to cook two rolled loin pork joints weighing 9 pounds each. This is for a 'Hog Roast' evening being held in a graden for my Rotary Club. I can get both joints in the oven (electric fan oven) but have no idea how long to cook them for. I am worried that I might burn and ruin the crackling or I could cook too long and dry out the meat.
What worries me about cooking time is that if I only had one joint in the oven then the cooking time would be around 2.25 hrs. So is this increased (doubled) just because there are two joints of the same weight to be cooked at the same time?
Can anyone help please?
