Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that your chops are juicy and flavorful.
- Season your chops: Before cooking, season your chops with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Cook your chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. If you cook them over high heat, they will be more likely to toughen up.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your pork chops are cooked to the desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let your chops rest: After cooking, let your chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.
