FAQ’s

How Can You Tell When Pork Chops are Done?

Pork needs to be cooked until the internal temperature measures 145°F with a meat thermometer. Then, allow it to rest a few minutes before cutting or slicing.

How to You Keep Pork Chops Moist When Pan Frying?

Because pork chops are a lean cut of meat, then tend to cook fast and are easy to overcook.

Be careful to keep a close eye on them when cooking.

Another tip is to let the pork chops come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking them.
