Temrerature of Pork Tenderloin
« on: December 12, 2019, 06:23:01 PM »
As part of my fall restock of pork, I picked up 14 pork tenderloins which I intend to smoke, vacuum pack and freeze for future use. Before I start, I thought that I'd poll the group to determine what might be the optimum IT temperature.

Voted 136-140 usually try 138. If I am the only person eating I would be in the 134ish area.

USDA recently reduced pork internal temperature to minimum of 145 with 3 minute rest(from 160). I've always cooked to 160. I've avoided trichinosis for close to 70 years now. Probably stay at 160.

I think that the USDA's reduction to 145° is the best thing to happen to pork since bacon was first smoked.

I pull it out of heat at 140°, so I chose the wrong one at 141-145°. Mehh, with carry, probably 150° when all said and done...

I have not decided on the exact temperature that I'll use yet, but I'm leaning toward 138°. No matter what my final decision  is, I'll pull them all off of the grill when the IT of the smallest one reaches 130° and sous vide them all to the final temperature for 2-2.5 hours. Given the variability of our pits, it's tough enough getting one piece of meat to the right IT but 14, not a chance. After SV, I'll ice them down to minimize the time in the danger zone and then freeze.

136-140 for me. It should carry the rest of the way.
Agree with Pmillen, best thing indeed.
