About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The pork loin is a long, lean muscle along the back and is the source of loin chops. A loin roast can be sold bone-in or boneless, whole or in a smaller section. It is mild in flavor and cooks evenly, but it can dry out if overcooked, since it has little fat. It is popular for Sunday dinners and holidays, and works well with a rub, stuffing, or a glaze.

Cook’s tipRoast until the center reaches 145°F, then rest at least three minutes. Pull it as soon as it hits temperature, since it dries out quickly.
