A roast pork loin is a wonderful dinner but can often leave you with lots of leftovers. Instead of reheating and eating the same meal, incorporate the leftover pork roast into an interesting entrée, many of which are a complete dinner in themselves.

Pork loin is a large cut of meat that comes from the back of the animal, running from the shoulder and the beginning of the leg. The loin roast, typically ranging from two to four pounds, is a portion of meat cut from the full pork loin.

Avoid cooking pork loin straight from the fridge. Instead, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before you get started. Giving the meat a chance to warm up will ensure more even cooking.
