I come from a long line of pork producers, so here's our favorite ways to cook pork loin.

My mom (world's best cook) uses this method: Marinade it overnight in an oven bag made for roasting turkeys. (she uses a mixture of season salt, garlic, onion powder, soy sauce and sesame oil.) Then braise it on the grill to seal in the juices. Next she returns it to the oven bag and roasts it in either the oven or a large roaster(depending on the number of loins she's preparing). I'm not sure how low she sets the roaster, but I'm thinking 300 to 325. It usually takes a couple of hours. The great part about this method is that none of the juices evaporate, the remain in the bag and the meat cooks in them. The result is so tender and juicy. This is the family favorite for our Christmas in July party at my parents' farm. Last summer we had 130 family attending. What a great time!

Here at home, we tend to cut the loins into very thick loin chops (1 1/2 inches thick) and marinade them in a McCormick Grillmates marinade packet - Our favorite is Brown Sugar Bourbon. My husband grills them on the gas grill until they are just done. Remember the USDA lowered the safe cooking temp for pork to 145 degrees F. Remember to let it set for 5 minutes before you cut any meat, so the juices can be reabsorbed into the meat fibers.

I use a rub from Bobby Flay the recipe is available on line and I also inject it with a chipotle marinade and bake it and always use a meat thermometer . It is a great investment in having perfect food and dirt cheap at Walmart.

On occasion I love cooking it in a roasting pan on a bed of sauerkraut, sauteed onion, sliced apples and sliced potatoes. I cover it for most of the cooking and take off the foil to brown. Sounds weird, but it's delicious and you have your main dish and sides all in one!

I've always enjoyed doing my pork loins by making smal incisions into the pork an inserting slices of garlic and pieces of fresh rosemary. I always finish it off a rub of olive oil and salt & pepper. You can roast in the oven, grill, or toss in the crock pot. I hope this gives you some idea.

I love mine with garlic and fennel seed.

Or dump jar a sour kraut over it. I use my crock pot.
