How to cook pork chops in the best way possible

There are several methods for cooking pork chops, but none are as quick and simple as frying them. When it comes to frying chops, all it takes is 2-3 minutes in the pan before flipping them over and frying the other side for the same amount of time. That’s just 5-6 minutes and your pork chops will be ready to eat!

Another option is to place them in the oven after frying. Do so over low heat to keep the chops warm. While you’re waiting for them to cook through a little further, you can start prepping the other ingredients.

To bake or not to bake? That is the question

Frying may be the quickest and easiest option, but baking is known for resulting in juicier pork chops. The main disadvantage of the latter method is that it runs down the clock a little more. However, frying your chops first and baking later is also an option.

Pork chops – what kind of meat are they?

Pork chops are derived from the loin, which is the part of the pig between the hip and the shoulder. They are popular for a reason: they are juicy, flavorful, and easy to prepare.

The more tender the better

To make your pork chops soft and supple, beat them with a meat mallet before cooking. Striking the flesh, especially the tougher sections. That way, you loosen up some of the hard edges, making them slightly softer when cooked.

After striking, you can allow them to marinate in marinade for added softness. This can be done with acidic ingredients like wine, vinegar, or citrus juice. When the meat is left to soak in this kind of marinade, it will tenderize for a softer and more tender result when cooked.

Butter or oil? Which is better for pork chops?

Using butter to cook pork chops results in a deeper, more nutty flavor. Butter, on the other hand, can burn fast, so putting some oil in the pan will keep it from burning. As a result, a mix of the two may be the best option.

Should you cover pork chops during frying?

It is best not to cover pork chops when cooking. There is already enough fat on the meat to keep it moist. Therefore, covering it may result in an excess of liquid and grease on your chops. It’s fine just to leave them be!
