About this cut

What it is and how to use it

A pork rib roast, or rack of pork, is a section of the loin with the rib bones left attached and uncut. It is tender and has a tasty rim of fat. Butchers often french the bones, scraping them clean for a polished look. Two racks tied in a circle make a crown roast. It is a holiday-worthy roast that carves into thick chops.

Cook’s tipRoast until the center reaches 145°F and rest at least three minutes before carving between the bones. Cover the bone tips with foil to keep them from scorching.
