Loin of Pork is one of the best cuts from the pig providing tender succulent pork with exquisite crackling and amazing flavours but what is roast pork loin cooking time?

Timings of your pork loin cooking will depend very much upon the size and weight of your joint and whether or not it is boneless or with the bone in. However a simple test is to regularly check your joint with a skewer placing the implement into the deepest section of the loin and watching the flowing juices – if they are clear then no further cooking is required, if they are slightly pink or a darker red then obviously more cooking is required.

As a guide you should be looking at around 20-23 minutes per pound for a boneless joint and around 20 minutes per pound for a bone in joint. You may wish to think about the value of purchasing a meat thermometer, these are really useful in any kitchen enabling you to know exactly how hot the meat is inside, you can then check this temperature against a cooking guide which allows you to take the guessing game out of cooking your joints of meat. They are relatively inexpensive and will be a well implement in your future cooking.

If you do not wish to invest in a meat temperature gauge to get a better idea of your roast pork loin cooking times then simply use the above as a guide and check every now and then with a skewer.
