The fleshy part of your cheek will feel like rare meat. Just above the pointy part of your chin indicates medium-rare meat. The top of your nose will feel the same as medium. Your forehead will have the same firmness as well done meat.
This is true of all pork chops, roasts, and steaks as well. Although ham is smoked and cured beforehand, should also be allowed to reach 145 degrees before it’s consumed.

Which probe should be used for pork roast?
Checking Temperatures For roasts or big cuts of meat, you may opt for a bimetallic thermometer with a penetration probe. For thin products, like hamburger patties, you’ll likely opt for a thermocouple thermometer.
For any roasts it is best to use an internal meat thermometer, such as an i. Grill® to ensure that your roast is perfectly cooked. For best results, it is important that your probe placement is accurate. The tip of the probe should be in the centre of the thickest part of the meat.
To test the temperature of meat properly, you want to insert your thermometer into the thickest section possible, and you want to avoid letting the probe touch bone, fat, or gristle. Those parts of the meat will affect the accuracy of your reading dramatically.
How do you use a meat probe to measure a roast?
The tip of the probe should be in the centre of the thickest part of the meat. Using the length of the probe, measure to the centre point of the roast, marking on the probe with your fingers. Keeping your fingers marked on the probe, insert the probe through the centre of the roast.
How does a meat thermometer probe work?
When you insert your meat thermometer probe, different parts of the probe will read different temperatures, and those temperatures will be averaged on your thermometer’s display. The thermal center is the center of the temperature gradient, and it is typically the coldest part of your food.
