The Secrets to Searing and Roasting

Once browned, transfer the pork to a baking sheet lined with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet. This ensures that the sweet honey glaze doesn’t stick and cleans up easily after roasting, saving you precious time.
For the perfect finish, ensure your pork reaches a safe and juicy internal temperature. Nothing beats the accuracy of a digital read-out; the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking gives you peace of mind, so every slice is moist and tender.
Serving Roasted Honey Garlic Pork for Ultimate Impact

- Trim excess fat from pork and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on all sides.
- Heat SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil or use an YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking. Sear pork for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
