WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD I COOK PORK TOO?
We highly recommend having an instant read meat thermometer to know when your meat is at the correct temperature.
Research shows that pork can be consumed safely when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degree F. Make sure you are taking the temperature in the thickest part of the pork, so for the pork tenderloin test it in the middle.
Cooking to the correct temperature yields a finished product that is pinker in color than home cooks were used to, but no worries it’s totally safe!
If you are one of those complaining for dry, chewy pork make sure you aren’t cooking it to a higher temperature. This will lead to the dreaded chewy pork.
WHAT CUT IS A PORK TENDERLOIN?
The tenderloin comes from the loin area of a big which is located between the shoulder and back legs. It is one of the most lean and tender cuts of pork.
This cut is different than a pork loin. A pork loin is a large, wide cut that runs between the shoulder and the leg. The tenderloin is a specific muscle that is part of the loin.
IS PORK TENDERLOIN HEALTHY?
Yes! In fact, it’s one of the healthiest cuts of pork. Plus, it’s just as lean as boneless, skinless chicken breast.
Best part is it’s loaded with protein, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, phosphorus and niacin while having less than 10 grams of fat.
