FAQs for Pork Tenderloin in Crock Pot
As long as the pork tenderloin is cooked to 145 degrees F it should be very tender. It's quite easy to cook. You could also sear all sides of the tenderloin on a hot pan with oil before cooking as well. Searing seals in more juices, provides additional flavor and color as well.
You do not need to flip your pork loin in the slow cooker. The slow cooker cooks evenly, so there is no need to flip it at any point during the cooking process.
Cook it on low. It only takes about an hour on low to cook a juicy pork tenderloin in a crock pot.
It is best to cook your tenderloin with the fat side up so that while the tenderloin cooks, the fat absorbs into the meat aiding in adding flavor, tenderness, and the perfect juicy bite!
