Do you think its better in the micro or the oven? Just wondering....

it is great in the Microwave and I have been selling ther bakers like hotcakes when i demo the pork loin. Good luck!

I make a pork tenderloin in the micro at least once a week! I've done the Jamaican and teh Smokey BBQ and this week I bought one of the pre-marinated tenderloins from my grocery store and did that... I usually throw in some quartered baby red potatoes, YUMMY!

DH LOVES it, it's one of his favorite meals and takes me about 15-18 minutes start to finish
