How to be sure to serve pork that is tender and cooked to perfection! Tenderloins are small and are best cooked at high temperatures for a short period of time. The best way to know that your pork tenderloin is cooked in perfection is by getting a digital kitchen thermometer.
To use a food thermometer, you simply insert it into the center of the thickest area of your pork (or chicken, or whatever), but don’t go all the way through to the bottom. That will give you an inaccurate reading. Then wait until it tells you the temperature. To get the juiciest and tender pork tenderloin it must reach about 140°F to 145°F in the thickest part of the meat.
New pork cooking standards issued by the USDA say that it’s fine for the pork to be a little pink inside, as long as it has reached the correct temperature in the thickest part of the meat.
