Rotisserie Pork Loin on My E.L Air Fryer
After seeing all the commercials on TV and the many post on Air Fryer Cooking, I ordered one.
I got the Emeril Lagasse Power Air Fryer 360.
After much deliberation, studying, going back and forth and research I decided to go with a Pork Loin for my Maiden Voyage, “Nah”, just kidding, I just jumped right in.
I had a hunk of pork tenderloin thawed out, so I seasoned it up and put it in the Fridge to rest overnight.
I seasoned it with another one of my Favorite’s
“Chupacabra” Rub
I decided to go all out and Bacon wrap this little jewel.
First Mistake “Not Really” but I’ll get to that in a bit.
Got it all wrapped up and tied with butcher twine.
Ran my sharpening steel through the middle to make a nice little hole. Slid my spit on, “Second Mistake” Should have measured, More loin than Spit. Had to trim it a bit.
Got it put together and let it rest on the counter a bit.
After about 45 min. I put the Loin in the Air Fryer, “Went in really easy." Set the temp to 400° and the Timer for 50 Min. Mistake #3 after a little bit it started smoking . I figured a little smoke would be normal”. But it got worse and worse. I opened the back door to pull out a little smoke, then I opened the door to the garage to make a better draft, About that time the Smoke alarm went off which is located in the hall, You getting the idea of how much smoke ! I then shut off the alarm and put my shop fan at the door to draw out the smoke. The timer went off, I checked the I T and it was 138° so I set the timer for another 15 min, I checked it again in 10 min. and it was 162° to 167°. So right at an Hour at 400°
I pulled it out to rest, Beautiful, I mean Beautiful.
I’m thinking if it tastes half as good as it looks it’s gunna be a home run.--
The bacon was crispy, the loin was flavorful and juicy.
This is one of the best loins I have cooked. My Wife, Daughter-in-law and Grand Daughter all loved it, “Went back for seconds.
I was real happy the way it turned out, BUT !! ...........................
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
If you intend to Bacon Wrap, Do It Outside, unless you can set it on you stove and have a real good vent-a hood to suck out all the smoke., Second Measure your Loin.
Other than that, it was a big success. Really turned out better than I was expecting.
Here are some Pics.

Inside shot
Pork Loin out of the fridge and resting for a bit
Decided to Bacon Wrap
Love that Bacon
I ran my Sharpening Steel through the middle to make a nice little whole
A little more seasoning Rotisserie hardware inserted and ready to go
Another one of my Go-To rubs
Here is what happens when you don't measure your Loin, But all's good
Ready to Rock and Roll
You can see the smoke starting
Looking Good
Wasn't long after this pic the smoke alarm went off
Looking Better !!
Man this thing Looks Good, see the back door open and still smokey
Close Up Mmmmmm
Laying down resting
Sliced up, Bacon Crispy, Loin tender and Juicy
My plate, a little green beans and new taters and Cranberry Jelly from my Neighbor
This was even better than it looks, Perfect.
Next time I use the Air Fryer with anything bacon wrapped I do it outside.
Overall I was very pleased with my first cook on my new Air Fryer
Thanks
