how long do i cook a 9 lbs pork loin?

Answer 1

That's some Pig! I've never seen a 9 pound pork roast.

A 3 to 5 pound roast takes about 2-1/2 to 3 hours at 325­­F to reach an internal temperature of 170F. If this roast is just longer it should not take any longer to cook, but if it is proportionally larger in diameter you may have to add about 30 to 40 minutes per pound. Best to watch the internal temperature to be safe.

Happy eating!

Answer 2

Pork is safe once it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees fahrenheit, however, most people like it to be more done than that. If you bring the internal temperature to 165 the roast will still be moist and tender, while having very little pink in the interior. If you have a probe thermometer, just insert the probe into the roast and set the alarm for 5-10 degrees under your final desired temp, and cook in a 350-400 degree oven, then when the alarm goes off, pull the roast out and put it under aluminum foil and let it carry over the rest of the way. If you just have an instant read thermometer you will need to roast it for about an hour then test the temp every 10-15 mins. until you reach 5-10 degrees under your desired final temp, then pull out of the oven and cover. If you don't have a thermometer, good luck, I don't know how you will get a good roast.

Note about Temps:

I am aware that conventional wisdom dictates a temperature of 185 degrees F for all meats, but that is not necessary. At 165 F all bacteria commonly found in any commercially available meat dies instantly. The texture of dark meat in poultry is best at 165-170, white meat 165. The harmful organism most common in pork is Trichinella which dies at 135, 140 is medium for pork, but most people like it medium well or well done. Also, commercially available pork would not pass inspection if it showed signs of Trichinellosis.

yummmmm enjoy :)

Answer 4

I've never cooked one that big, but my first impulse is to say about 3 hours. You want to make sure pork is completely cooked.
