How do you cook loin of pork?

house_cat — Sat, 05 Jul 2014 23:27:32 GMT

It has been so long that I can't remember how I used to do it.

If anyone has a favorite method, please share.

Thank you so much.

My way is pretty simple. I season the pork loin with Lawry's Seasoned Salt and a little pepper. Put it in a 9 x 13 prepared baking pan. Cut up a few ribs of celery, a yellow onion, and a couple of carrots into chunks and place some on each side of the meat. If you only have baby carrots, that's fine - just take a handful or what you think would be the equivalent to the cut up carrots. Add just a small amount of water to the pan - maybe 1/2 cup. Refer to an online roasting chart for the appropriate amount of time to roast your cut or meat. When the roasting time has completed, take the roast and veggies out of the pan. Discard the veggies and let the meat rest on the cutting board while you make the gravy from the pan juices.

Thank you, JeanLouise. Have you ever done this in the slow cooker?

House_cat, I always do my pork loin in a slow cooker. I just throw an envelope of liptons onion-mushroom dry soup mix over it with some cut up celery and onion, then pour in a bit of water. Ialso toss in a bit of green pepper if I have any. Always good.

I posted a great oven roasted Cherry Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin recipe a couple of months ago- it can also be made in the slow cooker..

I usually have to cook these things while I'm at church, because Mom and Dad like Sunday dinner around 1 o'clock. I have an oven with an auto start and shut off, but I don't like leaving it on while I'm not home if I can help it. I don't worry the same way about the crock pot. I think I'll give my slow cooker a try today and let you all know how it turns out.

Lillypadfrog and Stiltamin8r, thank you for posting. I didn't' see your posts when I first answered JeanLouise. I found a recipe for balsamic pork loin that I'm going to try in my slow cooker. Here it is if anyone is interested.

Thanks everyone.

We put ours in a nest of sauerkraut, sometimes with Apple chunks sometimes not, cover it with foil and S-L-O-W roast until it's almost done according to a meat thermometer, then remove foil so it will brown slightly for 1/2 an hour or so. Served with whipped potatoes, and thoroughly drained sauerkraut from the pan and an extra veggie if desired. Unsweetened applesauce on the side.

I'll be waiting for your report. When I was a kid, we always had our Sunday dinner when we got home from church, too. Mom just let the roast cook while we were gone.

I make mine in the slow cooker all the time & love it that way. Very tender & falls apart. Sometimes we use BBQ sauce, sometimes with a balsamic glaze, sometimes just seasoned with whatever spices I am in the mood for. So easy to prepare!

I love pork. Love!

For a 3 pound pork loin, I put it in a dutch oven with chopped celery, carrots, onions and garlic and a bay leaf. Add equal parts apple cider vinegar, soy sauce and unsalted stock to come up halfway. Cook on 300 until pets or DH lose their minds.

I made the balsamic crock pot recipe. I cooked it for 4 1/2 hours on high and it was wonderful! Of course there is lots left over, so tonight, DH and I had it reheated with bbque sauce and melted swiss cheese on toasted bread. It was scrum-dili-icious!

It's delicious and tender done in a slow cooker, but falls apart more easily. Great for shredded pork dishes like shredded BBQ, tacos, stews, pork and sauerkraut...if you want a firmer roast- spray cooker with PAM,add cut potato, onion, or carrot on the bottom of the slow cooker, place meat atop, and don't add any liquids. Tying the roast will help as well. Cook on low for about 8 hours (for about a 3 pounder).

I have cooked a whole pork loin and other roasts on the grill. Marinate the meat for a few hours in a teriyaki base or even just Italian dressing. Heat the grill until hot, sear the meat on all sides, then turn half the burners off and turn the rest to medium/low (Our grill has 3 burners, I turn off the left and keep the other two on). Place the meat where it isn't over direct heat, close grill cover and cook for a few hours (use a meat thermometer to check after and hour or so). This method isn't the quickest but my-oh-my is it good! I use a meat thermometer that sets outside the oven while the probe is in the meat. That way I'm not constantly opening the lid to check.
