In an oven heated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, a 2-pound pork roast should cook for 40 to 50 minutes. The cooking time for this temperature is 20 to 25 minutes per pound.

For the best results, a pork roast should be cooked in an oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. One inch of beef broth or water should be placed in the pan and then covered. The roast needs to cook for 30 minutes per pound.

Potatoes and gravy pair well with a pork roast. Vegetables, including roasted or glazed carrots, cauliflower, green beans, broccoli and Brussels sprouts also make excellent side dishes for this meal.

This type of meat should be sliced 3 to 5 millimeters thick for best results and taste.
