    Minimum salt% in pork loin?

    First time attempting homemade bacon! I used a piece of skin on pork loin but followed a recipe for a pork belly. Recipe called for prep of a bulk cure mix - 400g salt. 200g sugar. 60g pink curing salt (6.25% NaNO3). I then weighed my meat and calculated 2.5% of this weight and used this value...

    Smoked Sunday Pork Roast

    My mom used to make a boneless pork butt and gravy for one of our Sunday dinner staples. However, She Who Must Be Obeyed has suggested that pork loin is leaner and I could use a little less fat in my diet. I started cooking pork loin roasts. I use some liquid in the pan to avoid the lean meat...

    What is this 'dark meat' part of the pork loin?

    Hello all, I've been buying whole pork loins from Costco for years. I always try to find the loins that have the biggest portion of this darker band of meat attached. It is, like most dark meats, more moist and flavorful than lighter meat next to it. Does anyone know if this part of the...

    Pretty New to Smoking

    My name is Austin and I’m 28. I just moved out to the quasi-country and picked up a pellet grill. I’ve made chicken with mango, coconut, and jabeñero glaze and some crab stuffed salmon, but mostly I’ve been doing pork (tender)loin and pork ribs. I’m a fan of the competition blend pellets so far...

    Apple Sausage Pork Loin

    Pork loin is occasionally on sale for a decent price. That is great for bacon and loin hams but sometimes I want a smoked pork roast. The problem is pork loins can dry out. One of the ways I get around this is by stuffing it with either sausage or a moist bread stuffing. This time I added some...

    Cuban Pork Loin

    Before I begin this post, I humbly apologize to every Cuban or person of Cuban heritage. I love this style of cooking but a lot of the ingredients are not available here in the Canadian Rockies. For example I noted some recipes call for a sour orange. Therefore, this is my homage to the style...

    2nd batch in the dehydrator

    My 2nd attempt is pork loin jerky. I scored 25.75lb of loin for just under $1/lb at the local grocery store. As it was nearing its best before date i wanted it all processed now. Aggressive trimming brought it down to about 16lb in the marinade. I bunched the meat closer together this time, most...
