He does it as a joke, but in this situation it’s also to show how much easier it is to crush and mince the garlic instead of micro planing it. Crushing the garlic also releases more flavor than slicing/grating it. You want as much damage to the garlic as possible

There are too many variables to give a specific answer, try 5 first, check with a insert thermometer. If there is considerable variability (mass, thickness, bone, fat, etc.) you may even have some chops finish before others [1]. 1. If you have chops that look like they will outpace the others remove them early (undercooked) and put them back with the others to continue cooking after they have cooled a bit.

So I understand a brine provides moisture to your protein and keep its juicy. However, with all that salt in the brine, do you still need to salt the outside of it? I feel like at that point it'd be too salty if you season the outside of it.

@jacobpeirce2353 4 жыл бұрын

I definitely cut the amount of salt I put on it if brined. Because the brine is liquid it will cook out more but you don't technically need more salt.

When you have a proper frying temperature the meat is encased in hot fat so the moisture has a hard time escaping. It's not all that difficult to do, kits are around 50$ but you can use them for any number of applications. Cook time is about 3 minutes a pound so it's really quick too.
