Description

Pork loin is a firm, flavourful cut from the back. More robust than the tenderloin, with slightly more fat and connective tissue. Suited to pan-frying, roasting or grilling. A popular everyday dinner.

Resting

Rest for 5–8 minutes under foil so the temperature evens out.

⚠️ Safety

Pork loin should reach at least 65 °C. A faint, light pink centre at 68 °C is acceptable and safe from controlled producers.
