Ah, knowing when pork loin is perfectly cooked is a culinary skill worth mastering! Firstly, I always rely on a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy. Another visual cue I look for is the appearance of the meat.

To check if pork loin is cooked, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part. It should read at least 145°F (63°C). Let it rest a few minutes before slicing.

I always use a thermometer to check. But if not available, I use a fork to pierce the inside. A cooked pork loin should feel tender and easy to cut. If it feels tough or rubbery, it may need more time to cook

My understanding is that pork loin is done when an internal meat thermometer put into the thickest section of the flesh registers 145°F (63°C). However, in order to enable the fluids to disperse, it must rest for a few minutes before slicing.
