No salt needed! My pork loin was salty enough on its own. This recipe turned out great. My 7 year old and husband requested seconds! My husband also said to keep the recipe. I cooked it on "AutoShift" for 4 hours. Then I set it to high for 3 more hours. I used 1/4 teaspoon of cumin instead of caraway. I also cut the pork loin (raw) into 6 chunks. It fell apart once done. I served it over rice. Thank you!!!!! PS I have never cooked a pork loin roast before now. This is a perfect recipe for a beginner.

We loved this. It was a super easy way to use the porkloin I got on sale. We used fennel seeds instead of caraway since it was what we had. Also used a little less sauerkraut since I didn't have as much as specified. This was moist and delicious. We served it with brown rice and mixed veggies. Really wonderful comfort food!

It's a family tradition to make pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day in our house. I'd always just tossed the roast in the crock pot and dumped the sauerkraut on top adding a few seasonings. I was never thrilled with the results but no one was complaining. I came across this recipe this year and figured "what the heck". Well I LOVED it! The meat was SO tender and the brown sugar helped to take the edge off the "sour" of the sauerkraut (something I'd never liked). Even my kids ate it and didn't complain! THAT'S a big deal! :o) We loved it so much I've now made it two other times since New Year's Day.

Growing up my mom would just throw some porkchops in a baking dish and throw Sauerkraut on top and bake till the meat fell off the bone. This recipe sounded like the "grown up" version. I cooked on low and at exactly 8 hours the meat was falling apart delicious! I also put some quartered potatos and onions on the bottom of the crockpot and then did the rest as recipe stated. I enjoyed, but next time i will leave off the brown sugar, it wasn't my thing. I bet without the brown sugar it will be perfect!
