How come you've given up on losing weight and every day you're showing us that you're eating like a fat pig with a death wish? What happened?
I ate half a loin as soon as it came out of the oven no sides just devoured it while it was hot and juicy. A few hours later I made a great pork loin sandwich with another half.
As a semi fat guy ( in relation to this thread) there is no situation where any human should consume 2.5 pounds of anything.
I prefer the marbling of a chop. Loin is just too big and you have to cook it to a safe temp, so you run a higher risk of dryness. They make your house smell like heaven though.
Just cook them at a high temp they will turn out perfect every time. Mine were incredibly tender and juicy.
