thank you I tried my hand at your method tonight for the first time making pork chops. It would have been a 5-star dinner but I didn't add enough spices. I'm glad you made it easy to follow and looking forward to trying again. My sauce was fried onion, pineapple and carrots

These chops came out perfect and the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce would be good with so many dishes. Couldn't find cherry peppers or anchovies so I used all Roasted Red Peppers and some Kalamata olives for the salt. Side of cauliflower fried rice and sauteed asparagus and it was the best meal! Love your show..Tks!

@@JDL_2020 Hi Jon L! When pork chops are a "little" beyond the BB date, I call them "aged" but when they are "well" beyond the BB date, I call them "budget"! IMO, you can "tell by the smell" if it safe to proceed with out of date meat, of any kind. Just be certain that meat that has been previously frozen is given enough time to thaw completely before you begin the process of cooking it

Those chops have been called Iowa chops for years and years here in Iowa. They are very good pan fried, but much better reverse seared on a charcoal grill with a little hickory wood for smoke. For really juicy chops, get them off the grill at 140 degrees, tent with foil for 10 minutes and enjoy.

@michaelsalmon6436 Жыл бұрын

Hi all! I realize that this comment is from 3 years ago but I must have missed it way back then or I would have offered this suggestion- do not grill pork chops to 140 F. IMO, the best tip from this youtube is their suggestion that you pan fry only until you reach an internal of 125 to 130 F. and then you allow the pork to "carryover" the additional 10 degrees. This method works for outdoor grilling even better! I use a tent of aluminum foil for the carryover step, to prevent unwelcome fingers from attempting to pick off a piece or two. Happy cooking!

I like the simplicity of the 2 minute flip over and over. It basically worked but I had a few problems. They were huge and more like cubes so they got browned on 4 sides. I think my chops weren't quite thawed in the middle. I had trouble getting them to temperature. They tasted fine, eventually but I was worried they were undercooked so didn't enjoy mine.

A good method to use for ground meat patties is to press a "divot" into the center of the patty so that it's thinner there than at the rim. That way, when the center puffs up it becomes nearly the same thickness as the rest of the patty.
