First try at Pork Loin
« on: October 02, 2014, 02:09:26 PM »
Picked up a pork loin at Sam's the other day.
Since there is only the two of us, I decide to cut it in half.
added 1/2 tsp prague #1 to the brine just to see what it would do.

Looks good, Ed!  The tiny bit of Instacure shows you just how far the brine penetrates, so you can adjust your time for smaller cuts if you'd like.  How'd it taste?

He filmed his shows a few miles up the road from me @ his house on Cane Bayou.  He was an interesting fellow.

Good deal, Ed!  Loins will never be "fall apart" tender - not enough fat.  But, like you said, they sure are tender to eat when cooked right!  No higher than 150-155, and they're moist and tender.  Best pork sammies in the world.

As Justin would have said, "They be wondermus!" ;)
