This recipe has been added to your favorites. Do you need to add liquid to crock pot when cooking pork?Yes, we recommend adding liquid to slow cooker pork! It creates a delicious gravy and adds moisture to the cooking environment to keep the pork nice and moist.
Why is pork loin tough in crockpot?Why is meat still tough in the slow cooker? It's because you haven't let the collagen break down. Extend the cook time, make sure there's enough liquid and keep an eye on the dish.
Should you sear pork tenderloin before slow cooking?The first step is to season your meat and give it a good sear before placing it in the crock pot. If you're short on time and don't want to brown your pork first, you can place directly in the slow cooker and skip this step. I think it's really worth the extra effort though because it adds so much more flavor.
How do you cook pork tenderloin so it's not tough?Cook the pork loin for 10 minutes in the 400-degree oven. This will help to create a kind of “crust” on the meat to help keep the juices inside. Next, lower your oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue to cook your roast for about 20 minutes per pound of meat. Yes, it takes some time.
