Tips for Perfect Results

• Ideal Texture: If you prefer a juicier pork tenderloin, reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes and allow it to rest a bit longer before slicing.
• Extra Marinade: For a more intense flavor, prepare the marinade the night before and let the pork marinate in the fridge.
• Varied Side Dishes: Feel free to substitute the potatoes with carrots, broccoli, or cauliflower to add color and variety to your plate.
• Utilize the Juices: Use the juices from the bag as a light sauce to accompany the dish. If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce it in the Thermomix at 90°C, Speed 1 for a few minutes.
• Versatility: This cooking method is also ideal for other meats such as chicken or turkey. Feel free to experiment!
