I made pork loin for the first time in the over about 6 months ago. Again, I hate cooking meat. I am not convinced our oven does the best job of thoroughly cooking food, and since I'd never cooked pork before, I had no idea what the inside should look like (although I've heard as long as the juices run clear, it's finished).
Trying to avoid that debacle again (I think I put that pork loin back in the oven 3 or 4 times AFTER serving it out of paranoia), I made this pork loin in the crock pot. I picked up an uncooked, pre-marinated 2lb pork loin from the grocery store. It was by 1, get 1 free so I got 2 and threw them into the freezer until I was ready. The night before I was to make the pork loin, I put it in the bottom of the fridge and it was thawed by the time I was ready to cook.
I put the pork loin into the crock pot. Since it was pre-marinated, I didn't have to do anything more than that. I put the crock pot setting to LOW and let it cook for 4.5hrs. When it was finished, it was very juicy. We also have enough left overs for dinner again tonight!
