Notes

Chef Tip

We all run into the issue when cooking pork chops, which is why so many of us choose not to cook the bone in pork chops: "The curling of the chop."

You know what I mean, the fat band that, when heated up, will curl up on one side, leaving the interior meat portion undercooked and the other overcooked.

I do have the solution to this minor dilemma. Before seasoning your pork chops, with a sharp knife, make a small indented incision into the thick fat band surrounding the chop.

Do not cut the fat band through; that will overcook your meat.

This small incision will prevent your chop from curling under and allowing you to cook it evenly.
