Craving a tender, juicy pork loin but dreading the guesswork? The slow cooker is your secret weapon! But *how long to cook pork loin in slow cooker* is the golden question. Fear not, aspiring chefs!
Generally, a 2-3 pound pork loin needs approximately 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. However, the cooking time can vary depending on your slow cooker model and the thickness of the loin.

For extra flavor, sear the pork loin before adding it to the slow cooker. You can also add flavorful liquids like broth, apple cider vinegar, or your favorite BBQ sauce. Enjoy perfectly cooked pork loin every time!
