DAD'S BASIC MOIST PORK ROAST
This is the best and most basic way to ensure a juicy, perfectly-cooked pork roast every time. This recipe really requires a good thermometer -- either a $10 instant-read type or, even better, the type that pierces the meat and stays in place while connected to an outside-the-oven monitor. If you can swing that, then try your favorite marinade or rub on this recipe. Use your imagination on the rubs and marinades, but ensure you bring your roast directly from the fridge to the roasting pan -- Dad's recipe works best that way.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork loin: Look for a loin roast that is at least 2 inches thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the pork is juicy and flavorful after roasting.
- Season the pork loin generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the pork loin. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage, to taste.
- Sear the pork loin before roasting: Searing the pork loin in a hot skillet before roasting will help to create a flavorful crust and lock in the juices.
- Roast the pork loin at a high temperature: Roasting the pork loin at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and juicy interior.
- Let the pork loin rest before carving: After roasting, let the pork loin rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
