How to cook frozen pork tenderloin?
Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Can you cook frozen pork tenderloin without foil?
If you prefer a more crispy exterior, cook the tenderloin without foil. However, if you want a more tender and moist result, you can wrap it loosely in foil during the baking process. How do I know when the frozen pork tenderloin is cooked and ready to be removed from the oven?
How do you cook a thawed pork tenderloin?
Preheat oven to 350. Normally, you would cook a thawed pork tenderloin 15-20 minutes per pound at 375. Since this was starting frozen, I preheated the oven to 350. Season both sides. Used a 9 x 13 baking pan. Pour the water in the pan. This helps add moisture and prevents burning on the bottom of the pan. Cover pan with aluminum foil.
