Nutritional values

Pork is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B6 and B12 as well as iron and zinc. Cooking at low temperature means that it hardly loses any liquid, does not develop any harmful roasting substances and remains juicy.

It is best to check with a roast thermometer whether the meat is cooked: Measured at the core, it should show about 70 degrees C.
