Just found this great recipe. Can I cook on High for a shorter period of time? I’d like to make it for a work potluck and am afraid it won’t be ready in time. Wondering if you have tried it with the High setting vs. Low.

Thank you in advance!

That’s what I thought so I purchased two smaller tenderloins (between 2-3 pounds each) earlier today. I can’t wait to try your recipe. It will have to wait, though; I promised the hubby I would make a crock-pot roast tomorrow. Btw, many thanks for all of your help… love your blog and recipes!

Yes. A loin that large would likely take much longer to cook. I would cut it in half and save the rest to cook up some other yummy dishes. Or, just do another batch in another crockpot at the same time.

Could it be the size of my pork tenderloin? I get mine at Aldi; 5-6 pounds for about $13.00.

Sounds like your meat isn’t tender enough… When it is tender, you should be able to hold the meat with a fork and pull the meat away with the other fork until it shreds. For this recipe, if it doesn’t shred after 6 hours, close the crockpot and check it again a 7 hours… if it is still not tender, cook it for the full 8 hrs. Hope that helps…
