The best I've ever had was boneless pork tenderloin roast.  Awesome!

Yes, tenderloin is really good.  I highly recommend that.   I season mine with sage and rosemary.

I have read that it can be kind of dry and that you have to be very careful to cook it slow.I want to have dripping since I will be making mashed potatoes and gravy.I hate rosemary but I might do garlic on the roast.

I have also read good things about the Pork Loin roast.

You DO need to cook it slowly and keep water in the pan.  Have you ever tried it in a slow cooker?

I don't have a slow cooker.They are great for people who work and are gone all day and then can come home and have their dinner ready.That is not an issue for me.

I do the slow cooker.  I use it on days I don't have to work, though.  I do not leave anything on when I am not in the house.  I check the water level and add water as necessary.   I had an aunt that made hers in the oven and didn't do the water right and it was so dry you had chase it with down with your water or coffee.

Pork roasts are so economical  & great if not cooked to high or over cooked. The less fatty roasts like tenderloin don't have the marbling that pork shoulder or pork butt roast does so they can get dry if left in the oven too long. I cook whatever is on sale,  Pork shoulder or Butt roasts , they are cheaper cuts but very flavorful are great cooked slowly making a good gravy. I usually season with salt, pepper, onion powder, couple of bay leaves & in the last hour or two put in carrots & onions, sometimes little tarragon or thyme.

I wonder if Lipton Onion Soup Mix would be good on pork roasts?  I use it on beef roasts.  I think I will experiment with that and see what happens.  Surely it would turn out good.

A long time ago in the 1940's pork could commonly be infected with trichinosis.Pork has to be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.That is not the case now.Pork can safely be cooked at 140-145 degrees and be safe.It is more moist if not over cooked.
