Loin: read “Faintly pink is correct” before you decide

The long muscle running along the back, barely worked and therefore very lean. Nearly every breaded cutlet in the world comes from here — schnitzel, tonkatsu, milanesa — because a lean, even muscle is exactly what a coating needs to protect. The figure to read first is Faintly pink is correct: 63°C Modern pork is safe at 63°C with a three-minute rest. The habit of cooking it grey comes from a parasite risk that no longer exists in farmed pork.
