It should be perfectly safe to cook and enjoy As long as, when you purchased it, you put it right into the freezer. We buy them on sale all the time and have kept them frozen up to 9 months. Especially, with the center cut pork loin, the fat content is minimal.
I got a wonderful and simple recipe from my friend in Puerto Rico.... Line an aluminum pan with heavy duty foil. Put about 2 tablespoons of oil in the bottom of the pan. Rinse frozen pork loin and put into pan.(fat side up) Coat fat side with Goya Adobo w/ pepper (red cap) and garlic powder.Approx.2 tbsp.Each.
Put 1/4 cup water in the bottom of pan. Seal with foil... Cook at 350 for 3 - 4 hours. For last hour, remove foil to 'crisp' topping... It will be absolutely delicious, moist and tender.
We love to serve it with black beans and rice, a veggie and cinnamon apple sauce. Any left over pork...I shred it and mix it with BBQ sauce and freeze it. A second meal, completely different.
Great on hamburg buns or over mashed potatoes. Sources: Our kitchen HELENofTROY's Recommendations Adobo With Black Pepper Garlic - Powder, 2.56 oz Amazon List Price: $6.22 Rice And Black Beans Kraft ckory Smoke w/Onion Bits BBQ Sauce 18oz The Goya rice & black beans is our favorite .
If frozen............ immediately when purchased you are OK. I usually buy few of them and freeze them in the marinade (wisk olive oil, 1/2 can of vegetable broth, lemon juice, mustard, garlic powder, salt, pepper and creole seasoning and add to the bag). I use the bags that you create a vacuum.
I do the same for chicken legs and chicken breasts. I take them off the freezer in the morning and leave it out at room temperature so I cook them for dinner.
Most people here would say that sell-by + five months = dump. Me, I'm still a bit cocky, so I'd actually cook the thing (THOROUGHLY) and check for odors. If it passed the sniff test, I'd eat it.
But that's me. You could do like me, or do like my wife and dump it.
1 If you froze it immediately following the purchase - it's fine. Best to defrost it in the fridge which can take a day or two. But If you're going to be home you can set it out on the counter in it's wrapper and just watch it during the day.
If I set out a piece of meat in the morning and check it every couple hours - turning it over so that it defrosts more evenly (I don't really know if that helps, but I do it anyway ;-) ) as soon as it is not frozen solid I put it in the fridge so to cook later that evening. Yeah - I do that with chicken, beef and pork. But I'm a SAHM and so I keep a close eye and never let it actually come to room temperature.
I've been cooking that way for a gazillion years with no worries. But you can go ahead and put it in the fridge and cook it tomorrow or sometime over the weekend.

2 It probably wouldn't hurt to ask your butcher at the local grocery store about this. They are very knowledgeable and often love to be helpful to customers in this way (in my experience). But I'd agree with Cat that if it was frozen immediately its certainly safe.
And cooking meat to the proper temperature kills off any harmful bacteria anyway, regardless of age...

" "I have a frozen turkey with a sell by date of 12/10/2010. Is it still safe to eat?" "What do you coat your pork chops in? I got a cooking lesson from a fireman on how to treat/cook pork, It was intense!

Boneless Pork loin is at at an all time low, locally. Do you have great recipes or tips for cooking?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
