How long do you have to cook a 4 lb. pork tenderloin in the crockpot?
If you can tell me the times for high and low settings. Also if anyone knows any good recipes.
Thanks!!!
Answers: 9-10 hours.
Brown it on all sides in oil on the stove. Then lay it on a bed of onion slices and 3-4 garlic cloves, in the crockpot. Pour about 1 1/4 cups chicken broth over it and cook on low.
Then you can either slice it or shred it to make sandwiches.
Good luck! Be careful to cook it thoroughly as pork is a dangerous meat and cannot be eaten half-done; or rare! If you set it at low, let it brew overnight in the crockpot. When its very well cooked its tender & juicy too....Enjoy until its done! enjoy The beauty of crock cooking is that you set your meal first thing in the morning and it will be "falling off the bone" by late afternoon.

http://www.byjoy.com/crockpotrecipes.htm... i marinate mine over night and id start it at like 7 am and cook it on medium till like about 4-5 pm it should be so good by then.. Mamarat.... mmm sounds great! 10 on high 12 on low....do not over do the spices , they will triple in strenght over time. Make sure to line the bottom with water, and add veggies on top. You don't need any great recipe to that tenderloin once in the crockpot it speaks for itself, it will melt in your mouth. Put in for veggies potatoes and carrots as a suggestion...........And then invite me and my family over ....LOL.........Have a good dinner............ Don't cook a pork tenderloin in the crock pot if you can help it! The meat is extremely tender and will fall apart if its cooked too long. If at all possible, season it and stick it in the oven for about 20 minutes per pound. Pork isn't as dangerous as it once was, so you don't have to cook it to death! Pork Roast is excellant in the crockpot, however. Here are some recipes:
1. Pork Roast: season with kosher salt, pepper, and sage. Place in crock pot with 1/2 cup white wine. Cook on low for 4 hours. Mix 1 container saurkraut with 1 chopped granny smith apple and 3 T brown sugar. Place on top of pork roast and continue cooking for 2 -4 more hours. Serve with mashed potatoes and glazed carrots.
2. Pork tenderloin: marinate for several hours in your favorite teriyaki sauce. Place in 375 degree oven, covered for 30 minutes. Remove cover and baste. Return to oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Let sit under foil for 15 minutes when you remove from oven. Serve with pineapple rice and sweet peas. Crockpots vary quite a bit, so the only trustworthy source of information about yours is the user's manual that came with it. You DID save it, didn't you?
