Cooking Tip
Freezing Pork
Use moisture proof wrap and zip-lock bags when freezing pork. Label the packages with the type of cut and date it was frozen.

Cooking Tip
Searing Pork
Sear pork roasts and tenderloins on the stove in a skillet by lightly browning the entire surface prior to roasting in the oven. The searing locks in the juices and begins the browning process on the outside.
