Pork Tenderloins

Just wondering what IT I should be looking for when Tenderloins should be removed.  I've seen anywhere from 150 to 170.  Planning on a cabinet temp of 220.

Thanks

Hi BigCat

When I do pork tenderloins I only take mine to 150. I have even pulled them at 148 as well. Then I wrap them in tin foil for about a 20 minute rest. They are always nice and tender and juicy. I know some people like their pork done a little more than that but I prefer it this way.

I used to take them to 155 or even 160 but they were a lot drier.

I lik'em juice, so 150 it is.

Thanks Mike!!

As long as I get them to 142-145, I'm happy but Mike is spot on as well.
