It is something they prepare and sell in some of their stores, but not all of them. The Costco near where we live prepares these racks of pork for Thanksgiving and for Easter. This is the only time they are available and you need to jump on them quickly (usually two weeks or so before the holiday) because they sell out fast.<\/p>\n<p>They sell them in an aluminum container with plastic wrap. All you need to do is take the plastic wrap off, insert your temperature probes (highly recommended) and cook them in the oven.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"single-content\" data-font-change-count=\"0\">\n<div class=\"single-content-self\">\n<p><a class=\"osetin-lightbox-trigger-native\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-scaled.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-150x150.jpg?resize=150%2C150\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The outside of the rack is well seasoned, and they also cut a deep slit along the entire roast.

It is something they prepare and sell in some of their stores, but not all of them.  The Costco near where we live prepares these racks of pork for Thanksgiving and for Easter.  This is the only time they are available and you need to jump on them quickly (usually two weeks or so before the holiday) because they sell out fast.\n\nThey sell them in an aluminum container with plastic wrap.  All you need to do is take the plastic wrap off, insert your temperature probes (highly recommended) and cook them in the oven.\n\n<a class=\"osetin-lightbox-trigger-native\" href=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-scaled.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221120_111641-cropped-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1935\" \/><\/a>\n\nThe outside of the rack is well seasoned, and they also cut a deep slit along the entire roast.  They stuff that cut full of additional seasonings.  When you cut the chops you can clearly see the seasoning.\n\n<a class=\"osetin-lightbox-trigger-native\" href=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_20210404_162853-cropped.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/img_20210404_162853-cropped-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1936\" \/><\/a>\n\nTrust me when I tell you that these chops are tender, juicy, and incredibly delicious!  The problem is that you can only get them if\/when they have them.  So I set out searching the Internet to see if I could find someone who had duplicated the Costco seasoning.  While I didn't find a recipe that duplicates what Costco does, I did find a recipe that we really liked for seasoning the outside of a rack of pork.  \n\nCostco does sell unseasoned racks of pork packed by Swift under the Kirkland Signature brand.  \n\n<a class=\"osetin-lightbox-trigger-native\" href=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221201_145751-cropped-scaled.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/depadova.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20221201_145751-cropped-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1937\" \/><\/a>\n\nYou can buy these racks and season them yourself using this recipe.  While the flavors are different, these racks come out just as tender, juicy, and delicious!!!\n\nThe recipe assumes a 2.5 lb rack of pork.  If you have a 4 lb to 5 lb rack of pork double everything.\n\nThe original recipe can be found here:  \nhttps:\/\/champagneliving.net\/rack-of-pork-recipe-for-your-celebration-costcopork\/\r\n\r\nEntrees\r\n\r\nBlack Pepper|Garlic|Olive Oil|Rack of Pork|Rosemary|Sage|Salt\r\n\r\nAmerican\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2.5 lbs : \r\n\r\n1\/4 cup :\u00a0\r\n\r\n1 tbsp :\u00a0course ground pepper\r\n\r\n1 tbsp :\u00a0minced\r\n\r\n1 tsp :\u00a0\r\n\r\n1 tsp :\u00a0\r\n\r\n1 and 1\/2 tsp :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n :\u00a0\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPreheat oven to 450 degrees\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nLine a shallow pan with aluminum foil and put a roasting rack in the pan.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nMix together pepper, salt, garlic, rosemary and sage into a bowl.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nRub the rack of pork with olive oil\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGenerously rub the dry seasoning onto the meat, pressing to create a crust of herbs and spices.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nPlace the pork onto the rack bone side up.
