Let’s get real for a second. A dull knife is a dangerous tool. It slips, it squishes the meat, and it leaves you with ragged, sad slices.
A sharp knife glides through that roast like a hot car through butter. It preserves the juices and the beautiful crust.
So please, for the love of gravy, sharpen your knife before you start. It makes everything easier, and you’ll feel like a pro.

The Resting Game (Don’t Skip This!)
You’ve pulled the roast out of the oven. It’s screaming “slice me now!” But don’t listen.
Let it rest for 10 to 20 minutes, tented loosely with foil. This lets the juices, which are running wild inside, settle back into the meat.
Cut too soon, and all those flavorful juices will flood onto your cutting board. Your pork will be dry, and you’ll be sad. Patience is a virtue, and juicy pork is the reward.
