Easy 10-Minute Pork Tenderloin Recipe: Microwave vs Oven Options

[casescafe]

I'm doing a show on Monday where the host wants me to prepare the pork tenderloin in the Deep Covered Baker. My concern is that her microwave does not appear to be tall enough on the inside to use the baker with the lid. Has anyone ever run into a similar situation? Any suggestions? I could use her oven, but I'm not sure what the baking time would be... I've always done mine in the microwave.

Help me, please!

Have her measure her microwave - it needs to be 13" wide, 13" deep, and 7" high. I have more problems with them not being wide enough.

I don't cook mine with the lid on. Cook uncovered and then put the lid on after you remove it from the microwave for 10 min.

Becky - thanks for the dimensions. I'll be sure to mention them during my presentation.

Barb - I haven't tried it without the lid, but that's a great tip as well.

These tips just might work. Thanks again.

Hi there! I have run into a similar situation before and I totally understand your concern. One option would be to try using the oven instead. The baking time for pork tenderloin in the oven is usually around 20-25 minutes at 425 degrees. You could also try using a different dish that fits in the microwave, such as a shallow baking dish or a casserole dish with foil on top. Another option would be to cut the pork tenderloin into smaller pieces so that it fits in the microwave with the Deep Covered Baker lid on. I hope this helps and good luck with your show on Monday! Let me know if you have any other questions.
