Who better than Australian Pork, to take porky advice from?

For best results, let your dish rest uncovered for 1-2 minutes in a warm environment prior to serving (except for sausages and mince). Always cut meat across the grain to keep tender.

Marinating can add extra flavour and tenderness, especially on the BBQ. Find Pork recipes, more tips and tricks and pork-related News here!
