The Best Way to Make A Crown Roast Of Pork | Cook's Country

No main course is more regal than a crown roast of pork. It is a spectacle consisting of two bone-in pork loin roasts tied together in a circle with the bone tips pointed upward to create a crown shape. Morgan walks you through making your own.

I'm pretty sure I'd make any recipe that Morgan teaches me.

Excellent tutorial..thank you! I have always relied on my butcher to make one for me. I’m encouraged to give it a try

[rwyatt]

I like this no-nonsense, no small talk or b.s. presentation

[chrisgordon]

A chuck roast with potatoes, carrots, lots of onions. YUM!!

[krschulman]

Morgan, I always learn so much from you and your recipes are really delicious! Love watching your segments!!

[francinecorry]

Wow I always wondered how butchers did the crown.Thanks for this.An important tip I would like to share is to remove the membrane on the back of the roasts, something I learned in BBQ for cooking ribs that allows seasoning to penetrate the meat while providing a pleasant eating experience.Nice work.

Wow looks delicious! Adding this to my list, just retired a few weeks ago and really enjoying having the free time to plan and cook great and healthy meals!

It looks delicious! I, too, miss the homey format with Julia, Bridget, and Jack.

This roast looks absolutely amazing and delicious!

Almost, but not quite, as good as Morgan! 😍

[mrblueskynm]

It looks so wonderfully delicious! Can you make a half crown roast for just a couple of people?

Pro tip: If you take some butcher's twine, then tie some to a table leg or any stationery pole that can handle some pulling. Take the twine and around the expose bone at base near the meat. Pull the twine taut and pull. With this large of a roast, you mat need some help. This will pull all the remaining meat and sine off the bone, making it very clean. You can also use the back of your knife. However, the twine method is easier and more accurate.

Hell of an entry in the halls of ATK! I personally love the aesthetic of this kind of butchery with a wafer-thin boning knife. It feels like art. Doing it in a tank top and overalls would just take it to another level tangential but complementary to haute cuisine.

[edit] my favorite roast for guests is a pan-seared pork tenderloin finished in the oven with a horseradish cream sauce made in the same pan

I've neve attempted but I can vouch that when the hostess brought this out for a dinner party I have remembered that evening. It's just presentation. I say brought because I can't remember the last time anyone has hosted a real formal diiner for 6 to 12, when couples arrived for drinks and people put out the good china and silver. Oh, there's Christmas and Thanksgiving, but those are family events - the dinner party was for couples from church, the synphony, or even the neighbors. I know we don't bother - instead drinks on the deck, steaks on the grill and disposable plates ('the good plastic ones')

Looks fantastic! So does the crown roast.

[gabelstapler]

I don't know that I've ever seen a pork roast with the bones still attached at the grocery store. And I live Iowa... Any tips for getting the butcher counter to play ball?

[michaelarighi]

My go-to is a butterflied, boneless leg of lamb. I marinate it overnight with garlic, salt, red wine, rosemary and thyme. Next day, I barbecue it to medium rare and serve it.

I'm thinking this would also be good Smoked at 250 for 2-3 hours unwrapped till internal reaches 125, and then at 500 until meat reaches 140. Let rest for 30 minutes and cut into portions.

these videos these days seem really ' Rushed ' ....I prefer the older Cooks Country vids where they seem to take their time and its a bit calmer... Just saying it doesnt have to all be done in 5 minutes..

The best way to make a crown roast of pork is actually to use frankfurters. Thank me later.
