Boneless pork loin roast.......

I have a 7 lb boneless pork loin, i usually roast these in a large 11x15. Today i decided to roast it on a rack. i always put them fat side up. I am just wondering if it is going to be dry because it is not sitting in that little bit of liquid that it usually gives off. I have never cooked it on a roasting rack, just wondering if i am going to butcher it....

Inside should still be perfectly moist - the bonus will be that if you start off high (say 425F for 8-10 minutes) then turn it down low to 225 or 275, if you can be patient, you'll have a crispy outside and a dreamy tender juicy inside. But you'll likely have to cook it a good hour and ten to twenty minutes at that lower temperature. Just check it with a meat thermometer and pull it when the interior's 138 or so (no matter how long it's been cooking...check it at 45 minutes and every 12 minutes after that) - carryover cooking will take care of the last few degrees.

Becky, I think as long as it's fat-side up you should be fine. Lots of roasts are done by dry heat and come out just fine, although the dry roast process is best for more tender cuts. I'm thinking pork loin should qualify.

Thanks guys! actually that is how i always roast marsha. This roast smells and looks great! and actually it is ready to be pulled right now. We do prefer it cooked a bit more so i take it out at about 140 or so..... going to make a quick gravy with the drippings and dinner will be served shortly!

I have seen a Drunken Marsha though!
