 Roast pork - Focusless
Got a pork belly roasting joint from Asda at the weekend, and being an engineer checked the cooking instructions carefully - they say 25 mins per Kilo plus 25 mins.

Now I'm no chef but that looked like a typo - should be 25 mins per 500g (roughly a pound), and that's what I did - still a bit pink inside so had to leave it a bit longer.

Rang Asda on Monday - helpful lady found the instructions on the website which say 35 mins per 500g ie. pretty much what I did, and she passed it on to the 'technology' department.

Just had a call from Asda saying the instructions on the pack are correct, and told me if I wanted to take it any further I had to send off the packaging or go back to the store.

After calming down, I rang back and persuaded another chap to get back to the technology dept to check again.

Can someone who know's what they're talking about confirm that 25 mins per kilo for pork is wrong (it was a 1.1kg joint)? Or should I start preparing my apology?
