Alright, let’s talk about cookin’ up that frozen pig meat, the tenderloin part, you know, in that slow cooker thingamajig. Folks call it a “slow cooker pork tenderloin frozen,” sounds fancy, but it ain’t nothin’ but good ol’ cookin’.
Now, some folks say you gotta thaw that meat first. They go on and on about how it cooks better, more even-like. And yeah, maybe they’re right, but I ain’t always got time for that thawin’ business. Life’s too short to wait on a frozen hunk of meat, I tell ya.
So, can you just chuck that frozen piggy right in the cooker? You bet your bottom dollar you can! These slow cookers, they’re made for this kinda thing. They take their sweet time, low and slow, and that frozen meat, well, it just cooks right up, no problem. Don’t you worry none.
- First off, you gotta get yourself a pork tenderloin, the frozen kind, obviously.
- Then, you gotta decide if you wanna add some stuff to it. Some folks like onions, maybe some carrots. Me? I like it simple. Salt, pepper, maybe a little garlic powder if I’m feelin’ fancy.
- Now, just plop that frozen meat right in the slow cooker. Yep, just like that. Don’t overthink it.
Now, how long you gotta cook it? Well, that depends. How big is that piggy? And how hot is your cooker? See, mine’s a little old, so it cooks a bit slower. But generally speakin’, you’re lookin’ at a good six to eight hours on low. Maybe four to six hours on high if you’re in a hurry. But low and slow, that’s the way to go, I tell ya. Makes it nice and tender.
Some folks say you gotta add some liquid, like chicken broth or somethin’. But I say, that pig’s got its own juices, let it cook in them. If it looks dry, you can always add a little water later. No need to get all fancy with it.
Now, some folks get all worried about the meat bein’ tough. They say you overcook it, it’ll be like chewin’ on shoe leather. And they’re right, you don’t wanna overcook it. But that’s the beauty of the slow cooker, ain’t it? It kinda cooks itself. Just set it and forget it, that’s what I always say.
But how do you know when it’s done? Well, you could use one of them fancy meat thermometers if you got one. But I just poke it with a fork. If it goes in easy, it’s done. Simple as that. Ain’t no need to make it complicated.
And what about if you wanna heat that piggy up a bit quicker before puttin’ it in the slow cooker? Some folks use that microwave thing. They say it helps get it started. Wrap it up in a wet paper towel, they say, and nuke it for a minute or two. Me? I just toss it in the cooker frozen. Like I said, ain’t got time for all that fussin’.
So, there you have it. Cookin’ a frozen pork tenderloin in a slow cooker ain’t rocket science. It’s just good, simple cookin’. Don’t let those fancy recipes fool ya. Just throw it in, turn it on, and let it cook. You’ll have a nice, tender, juicy piggy in no time.
And you know what? You can add all sorts of stuff to that piggy once it’s cooked. Shred it up, put it on a bun, make a sandwich. Or serve it with some mashed potatoes and gravy. Or just eat it straight outta the pot, I ain’t judgin’. It’s your piggy, you do what you want with it.
Now, one more thing. Don’t forget to unplug that cooker when you’re done. Don’t wanna burn the house down. And clean that pot afterwards, unless you want a mess next time. Just some common sense, really.
So, go ahead, give it a try. You can cook that frozen pork tenderloin in the slow cooker even if you ain’t a fancy cook. Just remember, keep it simple, cook it slow, and it’ll turn out just fine. Trust me, I know a thing or two about cookin’ a good piggy.
