Crown Pork Roast

[adamjamjam]

Hello,

Can anyone help me to figure the time I would need to roast a 13.5 lb. crown pork roast and at what temp? Also should it be covered or uncovered? I'm a widower and talked myself into throwing a dinner party for 10 guests.

I have done a Crown Roast a few times for Christmas dinner. I usually figured about 3 1/2 - 4 hours for it. I stuffed the center with a Cornbread Stuffing (with dried cherries, sausage & pecans) and covered the top with aluminum foil to keep the stuffing moist and the to keep the bones from burning. Hope this helps.

I did one for New years. I put the crown roast in a roasting pan and wrapped foil around the frenched ribs.. Seasoned the outside and the bone side and browned it in a 450 deg. oven for 20 minutes.
Filled the center with garlic smashed baby reds. Brushed the potatoes with butter(loosely topped with a piece of foil) and returned to 325 degree oven for 2 1/4 hours.
My problem with a crown roast is the stuffing. I've tried filling the center with par cooked noissette potatoes. I par boiled them and did the FEB thing. Then browned them in a skillet and gently mounded them in the center. It came out nice but a lot of work. Also all types of bread dressings. The mashed potato thing came out great. It had a nice crust and was creamy in the center. Ah, so many accompaniements and so few Crown Roasts.
