How to Cook a Seven Rib Pork Roast
A bone-in pork roast is ideal for roasting. The bones keep the meat moist. According to the National Pork Board, today's pork contains less fat. Pork is often as lean or leaner than chicken. For a crisp surface on pork roast, fully preheat the oven and do not cover the meat. Do not pierce the meat with a fork or other sharp utensil when turning. Piercing lets delicious juices escape. Use a spatula to turn the meat. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
The National Pork Board states that pork is a good source of nutrients, such as thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B-6, phosphorus, protein, zinc and potassium.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), eating undercooked pork can cause an illness known as trichinosis. Trichinosis can cause abdominal discomfort one to two days after infection. Since 2001 reported cases of trichinosis have decreased. The infection is now rare in the United States. The CDC attributes this to legislation prohibiting the feeding of raw-meat garbage to hogs, and public awareness of the dangers of eating undercooked pork products.
