Do I cover a pork loin before roasting?

Question

I'm fixing to put on a pork loin, however I am going to sear it first. Should I cook it slowly covered or uncovered? No brown sugar, mustard or anything else, just plain old salt, pepper and garlic (my preference)

Answer 1

Place the roast in a shallow roasting pan in a 400 degree F oven and roast it until it turns brown on top (about 20 minutes)
Remove the roast from the oven and using tongs or a meat fork, turn the roast so that the bottom side faces up
Return the roast to the oven, reduce heat to 325 degrees F, cover and continue cooking until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of the roast registers 150 degrees F (about 1 – 1 1/2 hours)
When the roast is cooked, remove it to a carving board and let stand, loosely covered with foil (about 15-20 minutes) before slicing

Answer 2

The best way I have found to do a pork loin is to use one of those rotisserie cookers (the 'set it and forget' one they sell on TV works great)

Answer 3

no cover and don't cook it too slow...350 for about an hour if it is a tenderloin.....maybe less time....don't need to sear it first

Answer 4

Answer 5

It will be more tender if you cover it. The slower it cooks, the more it will fall apart.

Answer 6

cover it, it won't dry out as much, it'll retain some of the moisture

Answer 7

Uncovered, fat side down....
