Worst directions ever!<br/>Cooked for 75 minutes at 350F and it came out with red juice and raw meat. Tried this for Christmas and the dinner is now delayed for who knows how long. Thanks for a ruined holiday dinner!<br/>By the way, 155F internal temp is much to low for pork. You are going to cause people to get seriously ill.

I love the Mayo Clinic cookbooks!!! I think you should try something at least once even if it's scary.
