How do you keep pork from drying out?

To avoid dry pork it’s advisable to sear the fat on fatty cuts on a high heat then cook on a lower heat. Slow braising, slow cooking or stewing are also moisture-rich ways to achieve tender meat. If pork is stored, prepped and cooked carefully then allowed to rest before eating, the results will be juicier.
