  1. I think you meant to cook it on high for 4 hours? Because I followed your direction and cooked it on low for 4 hours and my loin was still raw

    1. We’re so sorry you had this experience! The instructions are actually correct, and this recipe has been successfully tested by our test cooks. However, slow cookers can vary greatly in terms of temperature, so if you are using a slow cooker that tends to run on the cooler side, you might need to, as you said, cook the pork on a higher setting. For example, it is a known issue that the low slow cooker setting on the Instant Pot tends to cook at a lower temperature than the average slow cooker, while some Crock Pot brands tend to run at a much higher temperature on the same setting.

    2. The way they worded it was to cook for 4 hours, freeze it, then cook for an additional 4 hours whenever you want to cook it. It doesn’t really make sense why you would even do that. Just cook on low for 8 hours.

      1. This is so that you can safely reheat the pork loin on serving day without overcooking it. But if you are cooking without freezing, then yes, you would just cook on low for 8 hours.

  2. The ingredient calls it a pork roast and the instructions call it a tenderloin. That might account for Angeleyesca issue? A pork roast is round or squarish, causing a thicker middle. A tenderloin is long and skinny and will cook faster…. Right?

    1. Yes, you are exactly correct. I am updating the ingredient to match now. I am sorry for the confusion. We need to be careful in our wording!! Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

  3. You can actually put it together raw, label and freeze. When cooking, take it out and cook on lower for 8 hours…that way its only cooked once.
