This is a microwave recipe for small cuts of pork loin (1 to 2 lbs). This is a great recipe for college students who don't have a regular oven in their rooms.

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Step 2

Place the onion halves into a glass 9 or 10 inch pie plate. Set the meat on top of the onions so they act as a roasting rack. Pour the water over the meat and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and cumin.
Step 3

Cook in the microwave at full power for 16 minutes (or about 8 minutes per pound). Turn the roast over and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until the internal temperature of the roast has reached 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let the roast rest for about 15 minutes before carving and serving.

I was skeptical about a microwave recipe but I was in a hurry. I substituted a rolled turkey breast for the pork loin and it turned out really juicy and tasty! Read More

I liked the idea of a quality meal made quickly. I like using my microwave over gas or electric ovens. However... I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated and after 16 + 6 minutes, it was not cooked through. I gave it another 6, then 6 more, then another 6 and then it was cooked through. And, yes, microwave was on high, etc., etc. Meat didn't weather the microwaving very well, it was kind of tough. Best part of this recipe? The onions! Even my 4 boys sucked them down (ages 15, 14, 12 & 7). Only one would eat the meat but commented on the "chewiness". Oh, well. It was worth a try. Read More

Surprisingly good! I did not use fresh rosemary, I just sprinkled some crushed rosemary on pork along with other seasonings. SUPER easy and quick. I will surely make this again for a fast easy meal. Read More

My husband and I have enjoyed this several times. IT IS DELICIOUS. I broke our stove/ burners right before Thanksgiving and for weeks we have been using the microwave to cook our meals. I am grateful for a real meal here. Thank you! Bravo! God Bless You for sharing this recipe. You helped this new wife out. Read More
