I bought a Tyson pork ribeye roast. The instructions on the package tell me to cook this 2.5 pound roast at 400 for 4 .5 hours. This is basically a pork loin. WTH are they thinking?

I generally cook these for 30 minutes or pound at 350 and they turn out perfectly. I wonder what their end result is?

Why don't you follow the directions and see if it's better than yours normally turn out?

Don't get sued

So if I'm reading correctly you would cook this roast for 1.5 hrs at 350? That's not long enough to get the roast tender. It's done not tender imo.

They might get sued if someone cracks a filling trying to eat a roast that will be turned into shoe leather.

It's a loin roast. It only needs to cook until about 140. If you cook that roast to 200+ it will be inedible.

The roast is always tender. I love this cut because it's flavorful, tender, cooks quickly, and it's cheap. I usually buy it at HEB. However, sometimes i get it at Walmart... It's just as good, but more expensive. I guess because the packaging says Tyson on it.

I can't imagine cooking anything for 4.5 hours at 400.

I think you should do exactly what the directions say, and report back to us with pics.

Are you wearing your "cheaters"? That is an insanely long time and temp

400F for 4.5 hours does not compute to 170, let alone 140. Probably an internal temp of 240 and not a hint of moisture remaining

I'd like to see someone try to shred this thing with a fork after cooking it for 4.5 hours.

I am going to guess that somewhere between the test kitchen and the copy editor "cook for 1/2 hour" got "telephone gamed" to "cook for .5 hours" then to "cook for four point five hours"

i mean, it says until it temps to 145. sure they put a bogus time amount in there, anyone with experience knows that the temp is the important part. time is too big a variable to go off of, anyway.

weird for sure. they also say 170 for best results, which is funny. is it 145 or 170?

maybe if it was a shoulder, but not a loin.
