EGGBB Newb here. I did a roast for Christmas. I purchased a Pork Loin at Sams (no place better for purchasing meat)and it turned out really good. Also did about 6 racks O ribs Christmas Eve, spare ribs, also purchased at Sams[p]ask for a loin...IMO, best cut of pork[p]

Sounds like you are ready to roll! I cut mine in half so I could season one for the kids, and one for me. Then I cooked them direct. Just happen to have it spelled out in words and pictures at the link below. Hundred ways you can tackle that roast, and this is just how I did mine.[p]Like I said I have not done too many of these, but I was extremely happy with the results of going direct. All this talk, and I had to go out and get me a little roast to cook tonight! [p]V's on you!

Nature Boy,
First things first, thank for the "V's,having one now.
Thanks for the link, good information. Hope you're feeling better.[p]Regards and beers,

Yo NB, Why did you slice that roast at a 45º angle instead of slicing across the grain?. Not saying that what you did was wrong, I was just curious.[p]As for me, I like these boneless loin roasts too. One thing I like about them is you don't have to be particular about what temperature you cook them at as long as you take them off between 140-145ºF. They serve well hot and make good sandwiches even when they are cold. Cubed up, they work well for fried rice. The leftover meat works well in all sorts of other various recipes too.[p]Lager dude,[p]Juggy D Beerman[p][p][p]

Hey dude! Hope you are well.
With tender meat like that I normally don't concern myself too much with the grain, but I s'pose it would look nicer sliced against the grain. I agree with you on the cooking temp. Works great many ways as long as you don't overcook. [p]I haven't cooked fried rice since I dropped my digital camera in the broth/oyster sauce mixture I used when cooking my last batch of fried rice. It is about time to try again. Maybe I'll have some leftover loin meat from the small roast I am about to start now! [p]Lagers back, mang.
Happy New Year
Chris
