⭐ Family Foodie Tips
- Scrape up the brown bits. When you’re cooking the gravy, make sure to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. This will make the sauce taste even better.
- Don’t use thicker than 1/2″ pork chops. The pork chops, bone-in or boneless, should not be thicker than 1/2″ or they will not cook through. If your chops are thicker, use a meat mallet to shape it to 1/2″.
- Internal temperature should be minimum 145°F. When you’re cooking boneless pork chops, the searing time will be a little less. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature; this helps with cooking any meat.
