Handling Basics
Wash hands thoroughly and, if you like, put on a pair of disposable plastic gloves before
handling ground pork to prevent the meat from sticking to your hands as you work. Also,
while todays ground pork is leaner than it was years ago, its easy to eliminate any excess
fat with a few simple steps. Once the ground pork is cooked, drain it, blot it with paper
towels or transfer to a strainer.

Freezing Basics
Since ground pork is easily stored in the freezer and defrosted for meals at a later time,
buying in bulk is a win-win. Simply wrap the pork tightly in specially-coated freezer paper
(place the waxed side against the meat) or heavy-duty aluminum foil and seal it in a heavyduty freezer plastic bag. Well-wrapped ground pork, cooked or uncooked, can be stored
in the freezer for about 3 months, but with all the mouth-watering recipes featured, surely
youll get a hankering for it well before that time.

Baking Basics
For baking ground pork instead of sauting it in a pan, we recommend using a cooking
thermometer to measure the porks doneness. Simply insert a digital or instant-read
thermometer into the thickest part of the meat. The temperature should register within a
few seconds. Remember, perfectly cooked ground pork should reach 160 F.
