Boneless Pork Roast With Five-Spice Rub

Pi-E's Note:

Tasty and easy recipe by Cooking Pleasure: "Five-spice powder paired with ginger and garlic gives this dish a great depth of flavor. The low-heat method results in a roast that is extremely moist and has less shrinkage. This rub works well on roast chicken, beef roast or even leg of lamb."

This was excellent. Unlike many other times I've cooked a pork loin roast this was absolutely tender and juicy. Cooking time was bang on and everyone in my picky family loved it!!
