Tips on how to roast a perfect Pork Tenderloin:
Some tips for cooking pork aside from selecting the right cut of meat is to observe proper cooking time. Cooking times will depend on your cooking method. When roasting the Pork Tenderloin, the top thing to remember is not to overcook. Prolonged exposure to heat will result in tough and dry meat. Using a meat thermometer to test from doneness is a good idea. We recommend a range between 155-160F to make it juicy, tender and safe. When roasted whole, trussing or tying the tenderloin is a good suggestion to shape and cook evenly.
