Temperature for Pork Tenderloin

Willus

I just got my first Egg. I am cooking a pork tenderloin on it and the internal temp is 160.

How high should I let it get and have it still be juicy?

Fidel

145* is perfect for pork tenderloin in my book.

Willus

Really? Then I should go take it off. Thanks (from someone new to an BGE).

Fidel

IT will still be a tad pink internal. Let it rest 10-15 mins under foil. It will be safe, moist, tender, and delicious.

Little Chef

My ideal is about 140. I pull mine at 137, tops, then tent it and allow to rest.

Willus

Thanks Fidel and Little Chef. My son said it was the best meat he has ever had. It was perfect - very moist.

I am so impressed with my BGE.

Glad it turned out well for you! If you are a med rare to med steak eater, you may want to try one rested to 145 and see how you like it.

really?
on chicken, for a mother in law, i'm thinking they aren't happy until it's 180+.

unless you are trying to kill her.

(which i think just might have been your point :evil: )
