Pork Loin Roast - We carry them boneless and bone in, or skin on (by request).
Cooking Tips and Time Guidelines:
- Roasting: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Season the pork loin roast with your preferred blend of herbs, spices, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up. Roast for approximately 20 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast. Allow the roast to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slow Cooking: Season the pork loin roast and sear it on all sides in a hot skillet with a bit of oil. Transfer the roast to a slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Let it rest before slicing.
-
Smoking: Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions, aiming for a temperature of 225-250°F. Season the pork loin roast with your favorite dry rub or marinade. Place the roast in the smoker and cook for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Rest the roast before slicing.
