Tip for Perfect Pork Tenderloin
An oven thermometer like this ThermoPro Thermometer is your best friend when it comes to cooking pork tenderloin. It is a very lean cut of meat, so it goes from perfect to dry and overcooked really fast. Just place the thermometer at an angle into the thickest part of the meat. If you do this and then let it rest for at least 5 minutes, you will have perfectly cooked meat every time!
