SMART SHOPPING: Buying Pork Loin Roasts

---

Buying the right pork loin will make a difference in these slow-cooker recipes. Look for a 4-pound pork loin roast that is wide and short (about 9 inches long) and steer clear of those that are long and narrow. Narrow pork loins don’t fit as easily into the slow cooker and are prone to overcooking because they cook through more quickly.
