temperature at which pork chops are fully cooked
The National Pork Board follows the guidance of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, roasts, and tenderloin to an internal. temperature between 145Â° F. (medium rare) and 160Â° F. (medium), followed by a 3 minute rest. Since large cuts increase approximately 10Â° F. while resting, remove them from the heat at 150Â°. F. followed by a 10 minute rest. Doneness for some pork cuts is designated as âtenderâ. This. includes small cuts that are difficult to test with a thermometer and large cuts that cook slowly. at low temperatures.
