What is the quickest way to cook a pork loin?

The quickest way to cook a pork loin is to sear it in a hot pan and then finish it in the oven.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Season pork loin generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.

3. Heat a large skillet or oven-safe pan over high heat. Add a tablespoon or two of oil to the pan.

4. Sear the pork loin on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned.

5. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven.

6. Cook for 15-20 minutes for a medium-rare pork loin, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).

7. Let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for faster cooking:

* Cut the pork loin into smaller pieces: This will reduce the cooking time.

* Use a thin pork loin: A thinner loin will cook faster than a thicker one.

* Use a high heat: This will help to sear the pork loin quickly.

* Don't overcrowd the pan: This will allow the pork loin to cook evenly.

Note: While this method is quick, it does not offer the same level of tenderness and moisture as slower cooking methods like roasting or braising.
