here the sexy bitch goign to the oven. i put some water to get some sauce and keep it juicy. see you in two hours.
Interesting, what cut of pork is it?
>>9317053
sirloin. here its called outer filee.
Looks tasty, don't forget to post once it's done.
What was the purpose of melting the fat?
>>9317050
Apple juice or cider are other liquids that might have been good to use.
>>9317044
Not salty enough for my taste the whole cut and it dried too. Fail

besides eating it with mashed potatos. im gonna use 1/3 for cutlets and 1/3 for nuudels with chili
>>9317537
Shit happens. What will you change when you do it again?
>>9317561
i didnt enjoy the rosmary,thyme combo. prefer them otherwise but not like this amount. make a different marinade for sure. maybe use a heat counter but only maybe. this is easily saveable with puttin it in the liquid to get more taste in

>not salty enough and dry
It looks like you did a dry rub. Maybe try mixing the the spices and salt in a liquid brine next time. Those loins have a tendency to dry out sometimes since there's so little fat in the interior.

yeah morning i looked at it and the marinade was way dry. i was bit worried. ty for tip
>>9317577
what are the amounts for the brine? salt and water?
>>9317619
I usually do 1 cup salt to 1 gallon of water. To infuse the spices thouroughly in the water it's a good idea to simmer 1/2 gallon with the salt and spices for 5 minutes then add 1/2 gallon of ice water wait for it to get to room temp and put your loin in.

doesnt it become super salty with so much salt?
>>9317715
I haven't noticed it being super salty when brined for 8-12 hours. I wouldn't go over 24 hours though.

i once did 1/4 of that in small chicken slices for 30 mins and it was inedible after that. maybe the density affects
