Using a meat thermometer?
I'm planning to cook a pork tenderloin for dinner tomorrow. I'll be using a meat thermometer (non digital) to confirm that the tenderloin is fully cooked. I've never used one before and I have a some questions.
What internal temperature should pork tenderloin be cooked to? Do I insert the thermometer at the beginning or end of cooking? Where in the meat should the thermometer be inserted?
Thanks for your help:)

internal temp for pork is 160 degrees, the thermometer should be inserted just before the the end of the cooking time to insure it doesn't get over done. The thermometer should be inserted into the middle of the pork (not touching the bottom or the top)
