Pork Roast questions
I've made plenty of pork shoulder roasts in my day (barbecue, carnitas, and with beef
roasts for added flavor), but have never made a pork loin roast. How do you like to cook yours? What do you season it with? Do you add any liquid? What temperature? I picked up one at a good price, and since beef roasts have been making me sick lately, I thought I'd give it a whirl for something different. If anyone has a good recipe, please share. I'm not much into glazed meat but I'd like something I can serve with gravy. Thanks in advance! kimberly |

It's simple, but very flavorful, and you can make gravy with the pan juices. 4 large garlic cloves, pressed 4 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 2 teaspoons dried 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 2 1/2-pound boneless pork loin roast, well trimmed Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional) Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 13 x 9 x 2-inch roasting pan with foil. Mix first 4 ingredients in bowl. Rub garlic mixture all over pork. Place pork, fat side down, in prepared roasting pan. Roast pork 30 minutes. Turn roast fat side up. Roast until thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 155°F., about 25 minutes longer. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Pour any juices from roasting pan into small saucepan; set over low heat to keep warm. Cut pork crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Arrange pork slices on platter. Pour pan juices over. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired. -- Wayne Boatwright __________________________________________________ I have a rock garden, but three of them died last week. |

How do you like to cook yours? What do you season it with? Do you > add any liquid? What temperature? I wait until they are on sale at $1.99-2.50 a pound and get a five-ten pound roast, then cut thin and thick chops or medalions from half and freeze them, roast the other part. My favorite way, if I am not braising, is to place the roast in a shallow roasting pan with rosemary tucked in little slots I make, and salt and pepper. Rosemary is my favorite spice for pork and chicken, because I find I need little salt when I use it. |

I like to do the boneless by just seasoning simply with salt, pepper, garlic, oregano. Put it into a cast iron skillet to use as the roasting pan. Add maybe 1/4 cup of water so the dripping don't dry up on the bottom of the pan. Put it in the oven at 340 until it reaches 145 degrees. When it does, set it aside and make a sauce or gravy in the pan. The bone in is usually done in a larger pan on a rack. Have the butcher cut the bone and season between the bone and the meat. |

My ACMEs now have mini meat coolers all over the store. They had a cooler of chicken packs at the entrance, jumbo steak packs in a cooler in the vegetable section. Sometimes by the back meat cases, they also spread the same meats in those long center aisle coolers. If you want a bone-in pork roast you might have to check the whole store! Hmmm, I wonder if the chicken thighs in the bakery section cooler are fresher than the chicken thighs on the meat case shelves or cheaper than the ones over by the milk. It's crazy I tell ya! I have a fair understanding of the psychology of product placement and keeping the customer in the store as long as possible but that's going too far. And don't get me started about the check-out lanes! (smile) Andy |

I haven't seen steaks in the produce section, but yeah, you could hardly get in the door with that meat cooler right there. Since they have remodeled my Acme, I don't know if it's still there. They added a bunch of food bar type things (not right there) that are destined to fail ... well, maybe the mini olive bar will make it. > Sometimes by the back meat cases, they also spread the same meats in those > long center aisle coolers.

When I think back to that chain BA - Before Albertsons - I think how much they have improved and count my blessings. Of the three chains that I now have available close by, each of them has some issue. That's not including Wegmans, which isn't all that close. I'm pretty much at peace with Acme now, though they've narrowed the aisles, and are still working on it. Not an improvement. > I have a fair understanding of the psychology of product placement and > keeping the customer in the store as long as possible but that's going too > far. > > And don't get me started about the check-out lanes!

Absent fresh rosemary, or just for a change, use fennel seeds. Work over fennel seeds, garlic, coarse salt with a mortar and pestle, then proceed as given in the recipe. Different and delicious. -aem |

Got an adoboed quartered oven stuffer chick going into the oven in 23 minutes timer set because I got three winter squash and some spuds in already that need a headstart), only sprinkled with a little salt and a bit of paprika for color.

Even if you consider the remote possibility that you have an infected cut, the instant kill temp is around 144 F. In practice it's safe a few degrees below that. Here are the US CFR regs on the required cooking temps for pork.

Strictly by these numbers, 3 minutes at 136 F and you're on home base. It will easily take that long to get from 136 to 140. Note that these are not data from some experiment, they're commercial regulations so there is also some extra safety factor built in. Tastewise, for lean pork cuts (loin/tenderloin), personally I can live with anything below 150 F, including overshoot and all that. There has to be some pink left or it's too dry. ---------------------------- Here are the US CFR regs on the required cooking temps for pork.

Pigshit... 140F is practically raw. Pork needs to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160F (med), but most folks prefer it cooked to 170F (well). Pink pork tastes awful and has a disgusting texture... like eating barely cooked bacon. http://www.askthemeatman.com/pork_cooking_chart.htm It's really very easy to roast pork well done and still have it juicy... pork cooks best longer and at lower temperatures... even bacon cooks best at lower temperatures (barely sizzling) for longer times.

It's really easy, and even if you can't smoke them, this would still be good. These were 10 # pork loins, not tenderloins. First, we cut them in half so that they would fit better on the grates. Next, we rubbed with "Billy Bones Original Recipe BBQ Rub, mixed 50/50 with Turbinado sugar, because I've found that this crowd likes sweet. YMMV, but any good BBQ rub would work. Get the temperature to around 400F, add the meat, lower the temp to 350 and cook 'til the internal temp is 130ish. Since you aren't cooking a large volume like I did, maybe 135. Remove from pit/oven and rest for 45 to 60 minutes, wrapped in foil, in a dry cooler. Slice, pour the juice from the foil over the slices. Serve. See my post "My Weekend" below. BOB |
