FAQ
How do I know when pork chops are fully cooked?
Use a meat thermometer—the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Can I use bone-in pork chops instead?
Yes! Bone-in chops work well but take 2-3 minutes longer to cook.

Why do my pork chops turn out dry?
Overcooking dries out pork chops. To keep them tender, sear them on high heat and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
