Pork baked in a piece in foil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a piece of pork in foil? Prepare your food. You need to choose young pork, then you are guaranteed to get tender meat that will cook correctly. Young pork has white or light milky fat, while old pork has yellowish fat. Choose a part of the carcass according to your taste, I used pork neck.

2. STEP 2

   

   Immediately turn on the oven and preheat it to 240 degrees (determine the exact temperature for baking the meat based on your oven). Peel the garlic and finely chop it with a knife.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a separate container, mix chopped garlic, salt and pepper.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cut off all excess from the pork, wash it, dry it and rub with a mixture of garlic, salt and pepper, pressing them into the meat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the pork on a large piece of foil and wrap the foil on all sides.

6. STEP 6

   

   The meat should be tightly packed in foil so that not a drop of precious juice spills out of the bag during baking. If the piece is too large, you can use several layers of foil. Place the meat in the oven for about 60-80 minutes, reducing the temperature to 200 degrees. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

7. STEP 7

   

   I check doneness with a thermometer by poking a piece directly through the foil. When the temperature inside a piece of pork reaches 78-80 degrees, the meat is ready. If you don’t have a thermometer, the time is calculated something like this: for every kilogram of meat, 40 minutes plus 20 minutes for the whole piece. Again, this also depends on the oven, so check the readiness periodically.

8. STEP 8

   

   Let the pork neck cool in the foil, then transfer it to a platter. The aromatic meat juice mixed with rendered fat will remain in the foil. It can be poured into a jar and stored in the refrigerator. You can add it to potatoes when frying or to some soup to give it richness and meaty flavor.

While I was cutting up the pork, I thought it would be nice to bake a piece of meat for my son’s upcoming birthday. In the meantime, I prepared a “sample” of 300 g of pork neck. It’s not enough, of course, but it’s enough to try) I marinated a piece of meat in a mixture of sea salt, ground pepper and ground mustard seeds. The garlic was passed through a garlic press. Rub the mixture thoroughly into the meat. I liked the fact that you don’t have to marinate the meat for a long time, just wrap it in foil and put it in the oven. After the meat was cooked, I opened the foil and browned it a little under the grill. The meat turned out very juicy, the whole piece was covered with meat juice. It's very fragrant! It baked perfectly, the pork neck was already tender, and after baking in foil it generally became even more tender and softer. Hearty meat for dinner goes well with fresh vegetables. I recommend it for cooking! Thanks for the recipe!

I prepared pork for dinner, baked in a piece in foil. I liked the recipe for its ease of preparation, the minimum number of ingredients in the composition and minimal participation in the cooking process. I had a piece of pork weighing almost 1.4 kg. I didn’t change the amount of garlic, salt and pepper; I used it for 1 kg of meat. I baked the meat for 1 hour 20 minutes at 180 degrees. The meat turned out very aromatic, pleasantly spicy and tasty. Hot, this pork is a wonderful dinner, and when hot, it’s an excellent cut for sandwiches. Thank you very much for the recipe!

Thanks for the recipe, just looking at the meat makes my mouth water! And a special thank you for the temperature of readiness, otherwise I was often afraid that the meat was not ready yet and overcooked it, but I recently bought a thermometer, now I will use it!
