How to Baking Simple Pork Chops.

Thick pork chops are tender, juicy, and a challenge to bake. Because they're so thick, you'll need to carefully cook the centers without burning the outsides. To simply cook thick pork chops, just sauté the sides on the stove until they're brown. Transfer them to the oven and bake them as long as you prefer. For crispier, oven-fried pork chops, dredge the chops in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture before searing them on the stove. For even juicer chops, chill them in a brine solution before sautéing them. Finish the chops in the oven and enjoy their slightly sweet flavor.

Ingredients.

4 thick-cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless).

4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Makes 4 servings.

Steps.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and season the pork chops. Set 4 thick-cut pork chops onto a cutting board or work surface. Use your fingers or a pastry brush to rub 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil over each pork chop. Sprinkle the pork chop with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the pork chops over and sprinkle more salt and pepper on the other sides.

Use bone-in or boneless pork chops that are at least 1.75 inches (4.4 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) thick.

2. Heat a skillet over high heat. Set a large skillet that's oven-safe on the stove. Turn the heat to high and let it heat for 1 to 2 minutes before you begin cooking the pork chops.

The skillet should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) across.

3. Sauté the pork chops for 2 minutes. Keep the heat on high and lower the thick pork chops into the skillet. Cook the chops for 2 minutes without moving them. They should brown on the bottom.

4. Flip and cook the pork chops for 2 more minutes. Use tongs to flip each pork chop over. Cook them for 2 more minutes so they become browned on the other side and then turn off the heat.

5. Bake the thick pork chops for 15 minutes. Put the oven-safe skillet with the pork chops into the preheated oven. Cook the pork chops until the centers reach 145 °F (63 °C) with an instant-read thermometer.

Bone-in pork chops may take about 5 more minutes to cook.

If you prefer your pork chops well-cooked, bake them for 2 to 5 more minutes.

6. Cover and rest the pork chops for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and cover the pork chops loosely with aluminum foil. Let the pork chops rest so the juices redistribute and they finish cooking.

7. Serve the thick-cut pork chops. Remove the foil and serve the pork chops immediately. Either slice the chops for your guests or set out steak knives. Serve the chops with mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.

If you want to store the pork chops, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for 3 to 4 days.

Things You'll Need.

Measuring spoons.

Cutting board.

Pastry brush.

Oven-safe skillet at least 12 inches (30 cm) across.

Instant-read thermometer.

Tongs.

Aluminum foil.

How to Create Your Own Dump Recipes.

People are more interested than ever in how to come up with your very own meal dump recipes — recipes which only require you to dump a few ingredients into a pot, pressure cooker or crock-pot and then cook those ingredients to make a tasty, healthy meal.

Steps.
1. Select ingredients that will be cooked after the same amount of time after they are cut up in appropriate sizes. For example, raw chicken thighs, sliced celery, sliced carrots and peas, and a starch like diced potatoes or pasta with a sauce added, such as a can of condensed cream of chicken soup, would make a great dump recipe.
Remember to add additional liquid if you are including pasta in your recipe.
2. Follow the general approach to choosing your ingredients. Here's how you should go about this process:
Select the central ingredient, whether it be meat or fish or a vegan equivalent.
Select the vegetables and other ingredients, such as pasta, to go with it.
Decide on the size each ingredient will be to put in the cooker.
3. Search for relevant dump recipes online. In fact, by searching for dump recipes, you may just come up with the ideal recipe you want and not have to create one yourself.
4. Select a cooking time which is appropriate to the container you are using. Here's what you need to know:
Stove cooking recipes containing chicken should take about 1/2 hour if at the boil.
A pressure cooker will take less time - perhaps 10 minutes on pressure.
A crockpot will take many hours - 4 hours on high and 6-8 hours on low.
5. Don't forget to write down your recipe with cooking instructions. This can help you repeat the delicious recipe at a later date, or to share it with friends. And who knows, you may come up with a Dump Meal Recipe Book of your very own. Currently, there are very few books like this available, and you could start a trend!

Tips
Depending on the cooking method you may need to add liquid like milk or water or stock. For example, cooking in a pot on a stove requires additional liquid because of evaporation. Using a pressure cooker should use little or no extra liquid. Also remember that additions like pasta will require additional cooking liquid(s). It is better to have a little more liquid than necessary than not enough.
Use an instant read thermometer to check meat temperature - as long as the meat exceeds 175F you should be safe.
One-pot and casserole recipes are candidates for dump recipes.
If you size the recipe large enough, you will have leftovers which can serve as another meal or so...
Some recipes you can portion out the ingredients into several containers or plastic food bags and freeze them... just remove the container(s)/bag(s) you want and dump them into your cooking pot and cook until done.
Warnings.
Using raw or frozen meat(s) in a recipe can pose health dangers if the recipe is not cooked long enough.
Certain recipes require stirring the pot if cooking on a stove top. Examples are recipes which include dairy and other ingredients which may tend to stick to the bottom of the pot.
When should I skip creating a dump recipe? Typically, recipes containing ingredients which may have widely differing cook times.

how to cook without a recipe with building your confidence

Building Your Confidence.

Recognize when food is finished cooking. If you don't have a recipe to tell you how long to cook something for, you need to know signs that the food is done, especially when cooking meat or seafood. To tell if meat is as cooked as you like, rely on an instant-read meat thermometer. If you're baking cake, muffins, or quick bread, you'll usually want to insert a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.



The more you cook, the better you'll be at gauging how long something takes to cook. For example, if you're stir-frying vegetables, you'll know to add carrots before onions since they take longer to cook.

Tip: Keep a chart in your kitchen that shows the food-safe temperature for different kinds of meat and seafood.



Taste your food frequently and trust your senses. Don't wait until you're ready to serve a meal before you taste it. As long as the food isn't raw, you should be sampling it as you cook so you can adjust the seasonings. Learn to trust your instinct. For example, if the dish tastes like it needs brighter flavor, add a squeeze or lemon or freshly chopped herbs.



Pay attention to how things smell as you cook. Your sense of smell can tell you if you've added enough spices, if the food smells appetizing, or if something is burning!



Experiment with a dish before serving it to others. You'll put unnecessary pressure on yourself if you try to whip up something that you've never made before to serve to guests. Instead, practice cooking without a recipe when there's little stress or pressure. You'll enjoy yourself more and might be bolder since there's no fear of making mistakes.

It's not a bad idea to have a backup plan, even if you're just cooking dinner for yourself. For example, have supplies in the fridge for making a quick sandwich if cooking doesn't turn out as you hoped.



Make substitutions to dishes you know how to make. Once you've gotten really comfortable with making a particular dish, experiment by changing a few ingredients. For example, if your pasta calls for bacon and asparagus, try making it with pancetta and snap peas.



Pizza is a great meal to cook without a recipe. As long as you can roll out the dough, you can try different sauces or toppings.

Tip: Substitute flavor extracts in your baking. For example, instead of using vanilla, try almond or lemon extract.



Practice seasoning a dish. You may be used to seasoning food with salt, but there are a lot of ways to adjust the flavor of food. In addition to salt, you might want to add more spices or fresh herbs according to your preferences. To really take your cooking to the next level, add a few drops of an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice, vinegar, wine, or hot sauce.



To add richness to the meal, stir in a little butter or heavy cream.

If the meal tastes a little boring or flat, add depth of flavor by stirring in some miso, tomato paste, or Worcestershire sauce.



Memorize basic ratios for the foods you cook often. You don't need recipes for foods that rely on simple ratios, such as rice, quinoa, bulger, and other grains. Find a ratio that creates food with a texture you like and commit it to memory. Then, you can easily make a pot of couscous without even thinking about it.

Use 1 1⁄2 cups (350 ml) of water for every 1 cup (180 g) of rice as a starting ratio. Then, adjust the ratio to get a texture you like.

How to Brining and Baking Thick Pork Chops.

Thick pork chops are tender, juicy, and a challenge to bake. Because they're so thick, you'll need to carefully cook the centers without burning the outsides. To simply cook thick pork chops, just sauté the sides on the stove until they're brown. Transfer them to the oven and bake them as long as you prefer. For crispier, oven-fried pork chops, dredge the chops in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture before searing them on the stove. For even juicer chops, chill them in a brine solution before sautéing them. Finish the chops in the oven and enjoy their slightly sweet flavor.

Ingredients.

1 gallon (3.78 liters) water.

1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar.

1 cup (269 g) sea salt.

1 cup (240 ml) frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed.

1 1/2 teaspoons (4 g) whole black peppercorns.

2 fresh thyme sprigs.

4 (1 pound or 453 g) bone-in loin pork chops.

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

4 tablespoons (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided.

Makes 4 servings.

Steps.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and mix the brine solution. Get out a large bowl and pour 1 gallon (3.78 liters) of cold water into it. Add 1 cup (200 g) of packed brown sugar, 1 cup (269 g) of sea salt, 1 cup (240 ml) of frozen apple juice concentrate that's been thawed, 1 1/2 teaspoons (4 g) of whole black peppercorns, and 2 fresh thyme sprigs. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.

2. Place the pork chops in a bag with the brine solution. Place 4 thick pork chops into an extra-large resealable bag. If you don't have an extra large bag, you could divide the pork chops into 2 smaller resealable bags. Pour the brine solution into the bag (or divide it between 2 bags) and seal the bag shut. The pork chops should be submerged in the brine solution.

You can use thick pork chops that are sold as double-cut chops. These usually have at least 2 rib bones attached to the chop.

3. Chill the pork chops in the brine solution for 2 hours. Put the bags into the refrigerator and let the pork chops tenderize and absorb the flavors of the brine solution.

Avoid brining the pork chops for more than 2 hours or the meat will become mushy.

4. Dry and season the pork chops. Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator and pour out the brine solution from the bags. Take the pork chops out and blot them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the pork chops with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.

5. Sear the pork chops for 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Set a heavy skillet on the stove and pour in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the extra virgin olive oil. Turn the heat to medium-high so the oil heats and shimmers a little. Lay 2 of the pork chops in the skillet and let them cook for 4 minutes without moving them.

Because these pork chops are large, you'll need to cook them in batches so you can fit them in your skillet.

6. Flip and sear the pork chops for 4 more minutes. Use tongs to flip the pork chops over and let them cook over medium-high heat for 4 more minutes. They should be a caramel brown color on both sides once they've finished searing. Transfer the seared pork chops to a pan or baking sheet and sear the last 2 pork chops.

7. Bake the brined pork chops for 30 minutes. Once you've seared the last 2 pork chops on both sides, place them in the pan or baking sheet. Put the pork chops in the preheated oven and bake them until they're tender and cooked according to your preference.

8. Check the temperature and serve the pork chops. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a pork chop. The meat should reach between 140 °F (60 °C) and 145 °F (63 °C) once they've finished cooking. Serve the pork chops with sautéed apples, roasted squash, or crispy potatoes.

Put the leftovers in an airtight container. Refrigerate them for 3 to 4 days.

Things You'll Need.

Measuring cups and spoons.

Large bowl.

Spoon.

Extra-large resealable bag.

Heavy skillet.

Paper towels.

Tongs.

Instant-read thermometer.

Baking pan or sheet.

How to Making Gizzard and Pepper Kebabs.



You've probably had stewed or boiled gizzards, but they're also great on the grill. Marinate clean chicken gizzards with a sweet and sour sauce or a gingery spiced sauce. Then thread the gizzards onto soaked skewers along with peppers, if you're using them. To make Filipino grilled gizzards, you'll also need to simmer them in spices and brush the kebabs with hot sauce while they're on the grill.



Ingredients.

Gizzard and Pepper Kebabs

1 1⁄4 pounds (570 g) chicken gizzards

1⁄2 cup (120 ml) oil

1 garlic clove, sliced

1⁄2 cup (120 ml) Worcestershire sauce

4 tablespoons (50 g) dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) vinegar

1 cup (225 g) tomato sauce

2 yellow peppers

2 red peppers

Makes 14 to 16 kebabs





Combine the oil, garlic, sauce, sugar, vinegar, and tomato sauce. Pour 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of oil into a large bowl along with 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of vinegar and 1 cup (225 g) of tomato sauce. Stir in 1 sliced garlic clove, 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of Worcestershire sauce and 4 tablespoons (50 g) of dark brown sugar until the marinade is combined.

You can use olive, coconut, or vegetable oil.

Try using white or apple cider vinegar for the marinade.



Clean 1 1⁄4 pounds (570 g) of chicken gizzards. Rinse any blood or debris off of the gizzards and set them on a cutting board. Cut each gizzard in half lengthwise and then rinse out the centers to remove debris. Pull away and discard the tough yellow lining from each gizzard.

You'll need to use your fingers to rub the debris free from the gizzards as you rinse.



Stir in the gizzards and refrigerate them for 45 to 60 minutes. Put the cleaned gizzards into the bowl with the marinade. Stir to coat them with the mixture and then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the gizzards in the marinade so they soften and become flavorful.



Soak the skewers in water for at least 15 minutes. Place 14 to 15 bamboo or wooden skewers into a long shallow dish. Cover the skewers with water and leave them to soak at room temperature while you prepare the peppers and the grill.

Soaking the skewers will ensure they don't burn when you put them on the grill.



Chop 4 bell peppers. Rinse 2 yellow and 2 red peppers. Trim the stems and discard the seeds from the center of each pepper. Then use a sharp knife to cut each pepper into 2 in (5 cm) chunks.

If you prefer, you can also use orange or green bell peppers.



Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Turn a gas grill to high or fill a chimney with briquettes. Light the briquettes and dump them in the center of the grill once they're hot and ashy.



Thread the gizzards and peppers on the skewers. Remove the gizzards from the marinade and drain the water from the skewers. Slide 1 gizzard onto the skewer and then thread 1 to 2 pieces of pepper. Continue to alternate threading gizzards with peppers.

You should be able to make 14 to 16 kebabs.



Put the kebabs on the grill and brush them with the marinade. Arrange the kebabs on the hot grill and use a basting brush to coat them with the marinade.

Keep the lid off of the grill so you can turn the kebabs frequently.



Grill the kebabs for 12 to 15 minutes. Set a timer for 12 to 15 minutes and turn the kebabs every few minutes so the gizzards cook evenly. The gizzards should look slightly crisp around the edges and the peppers will char.

To ensure the gizzards have finished cooking, insert an instant-read meat thermometer. They should reach 165 °F (74 °C).



Remove and serve the gizzard kebabs. Use tongs to transfer the kebabs to a serving platter. Consider serving them with boiled or grilled sweet corn and salad.

Refrigerate the leftover gizzard kebabs in an airtight container for up to 3 to 4 days.

How to Color White Chocolate.


To color chocolate, you'll need to melt it first. This is always a tricky process, and even more difficult with white chocolate, which burns easily. If possible, allow extra time to track down the right ingredients and work on a test batch.

Part 1 Setting Up.
1. Choose a white chocolate. The ingredient list should tell you whether a white chocolate is made with real cocoa butter, or with a cheaper vegetable oil substitute. Imitation products are less likely to seize (turn gritty) than chocolate made with real cocoa butter. Experts tend to back real chocolate in terms of taste, but some brands of imitation chocolate compete well in blind taste tests.
Use freshly purchased chocolate. Chocolate suffers in flavor and texture when stored too long, especially if it's the real deal.
For detailed chocolate artwork, use a thin dipping or coating chocolate.
2. Pick your food coloring. Even a drop of water can turn your melted chocolate into a gritty mess. For best results, buy powder or oil-based food coloring from a specialty baking store or online. You can use the instructions below with regular liquid food coloring, but the process is much more difficult.
Oil-based food coloring is best used for light colors, since too much of the coloring can add a bitter taste and stain mouths.
These food dyes are more concentrated than liquid dyes. They will stain clothing, skin, and countertops.
3. Warm oil-based coloring in advance. As though keeping the chocolate dry weren't difficult enough, chocolate can also seize if the food coloring is a different temperature than the chocolate. If you are using oil-based food coloring, raise it above room temperature first. (Keep other types at room temperature.)
Place the closed bottle in a zip-locked bag. Remove as much air from the bag as you can, then seal tightly.
Submerge the bag in a bowl of warm water for 10–15 minutes. The water should feel comfortably warm to the touch, not scalding.
Shake the bottle once or twice during the process to distribute heat evenly. Replace water if it has cooled to room temperature.
Remove the bottle from the bag and dry it thoroughly.
4. Bring a double boiler to a simmer. If you do not have a double boiler make one from a large pan, plus a heatproof mixing bowl or small pan that can sit atop the larger one. Start with just the large pan, uncovered. Heat 1–3 inches (2.5–7.5 cm) of water until it reaches a low simmer.
Dry the top container and a stirring utensil thoroughly while you wait, even if they don't look wet. A rubber or silicone stirrer is ideal, since wooden spoons may contain absorbed moisture.

Part 2 Melting and Coloring.
1. Decide when to add the food coloring. The timing depends on which type of food coloring you are using. Read the full instructions below before you start, since you may need to change the order of the steps:
Add powdered dye as soon as the chocolate starts to melt.
You can add oil-based dye after the chocolate melts, as long as you warmed the dye as described above.
Liquid dye is less likely to cause seizing if added right away, before the chocolate melts. (This is why there is no need to warm the dye in advance.)
2. Place the chocolate in the smaller container. Put the chocolate into the top portion of the double boiler, which should still be at room temperature. Place this container on top of the simmering pan. The indirect heat from the steam will warm the chocolate slowly, keeping it below seizing temperature.
If using a chocolate bar, break it into small pieces of roughly equal size.
Make sure your hands are completely dry. Any moisture could ruin your chocolate.
If using chocolate with real cocoa butter, you may set aside 1/3 of the chocolate for later use. This is only necessary if you want your chocolates to look glossy.
3. Stir until melted. White chocolate burns very easily, and should never get above 115ºF (46ºC). Keep the heat on the lowest setting, or turn it off completely if melting a small batch of chocolate. Stir slowly and constantly until smooth, then remove from heat.
If the instructions above call for adding the dye before the chocolate is melted, see below for more information.
If melting a large batch of chocolate (several pounds or kilos), a chocolate thermometer or an instant-read thermometer with 1 degree increments is highly recommended. Keep the chocolate between 100 and 110ºF (37–43ºC).
4. Add the dye slowly. Most powdered and oil-based food dyes are more concentrated than the common liquid type. Add in small increments and stir in thoroughly before deciding whether to add more.
Shake bottled food coloring well before adding.
If the chocolate seizes (turns gritty), remove it from heat and stir in a neutral-flavored vegetable oil a spoonful at a time. The chocolate will usually smooth out again, but this can affect the flavor.
5. Temper the chocolate (optional). If your white chocolate contains real cocoa butter, it may end up dull and slightly soft after melting and setting. This doesn't affect the taste, but you can restore the gloss if you like by "tempering" the chocolate. There are many ways to do this. Here's a common approach that doesn't require any extra equipment except an accurate thermometer.
Remove the chocolate from heat and wrap a towel around the base to keep it warm.
Add chopped, unmelted chocolate until you have a ratio of 1 part unmelted chocolate to 2 parts melted.
Stir constantly until the chocolate reaches 80–82ºF (27–28ºC), and all the chocolate has melted.
6. Let the chocolate set. Many chocolatiers cool their chocolate slowly at room temperature, so it is less likely to crack or sweat. Others prefer to let it set in the refrigerator for 10–20 minutes, which may work better if your kitchen is warm or humid. Store your finished chocolate in a cool, dry room away from light.
For best results, place paper towels in your refrigerator to absorb moisture.
If you are pouring chocolate into molds or using it as a dip, keep it warm until you've finished working with it.

Community Q&A.
Question ; What is caramelized white chocolate?
Answer : Caramelized white chocolate is a type of chocolate that has been created by heating the chocolate to the point where the sugars caramelize. It produces a chocolate that is off-white, a light golden color. It still tastes sweet but also caramel-like.
Question : Could I use gel colouring for white chocolate?
Answer : Yes, you can use white chocolate for this.
Question : How can I make turquoise chocolate?
I would mix three drops of blue dye with two drops of white and one drop of light green. You can add more white and green until you've achieved your desired shade.
Question : Where can I buy a chocolate mold?
Answer : You may find these at your local grocery store in the cooking supplies section.
Question : Can I use something food-based instead of dye?
Answer : Yes, but be careful. Too much water could cause the chocolate to seize. Add only a very tiny amount, drops.
Question : Can I use liquid gel color to color chocolates?
Answer : Yes, but you must heat the coloring first to make it the same temperature as the chocolate. Add the gel very gradually and mix the chocolate well, as some gel coloring gets quite lumpy.
Question : What color does chocolate and cream combined make?
Answer : It depends on how dark the chocolate is. Dark chocolate and cream will look like milk chocolate. Milk chocolate and cream will be an even lighter brown.
Question : Can I use water based food colouring to color a white chocolate?
Answer : Yes, as long as it is food grade.
Question : How can I make baby blue chocolate for my cake pops?
Answer : Adding light blue candy melts is your best option.
Question : How can I make Mauve chocolate?
Answer : With light pink, violet and Hawaiian blue (light blue). I would add just a little violet, as it is very dark, and a touch of pink -- maybe 2 drops -- and a drop of the blue. Add white at the end to lighten it all up.


Things You'll Need.

Double boiler (bain marie).
Rubber or silicone spatula or stirrer.
Food coloring — powdered or oil-based strongly recommended.
Bowl & zip-locked bag (if using oil-based food coloring).
Additional white chocolate for tempering (optional).

Tips.
When coloring chocolate, try to work with one color at a time. Otherwise, you might accidentally mix the colors.

Warnings.

Melting chocolate is very difficult if humidity levels are above 50%. Run a dehumidifier in clammy weather.

How to Oven-Frying Crispy Pork Chops.

Thick pork chops are tender, juicy, and a challenge to bake. Because they're so thick, you'll need to carefully cook the centers without burning the outsides. To simply cook thick pork chops, just sauté the sides on the stove until they're brown. Transfer them to the oven and bake them as long as you prefer. For crispier, oven-fried pork chops, dredge the chops in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture before searing them on the stove. For even juicer chops, chill them in a brine solution before sautéing them. Finish the chops in the oven and enjoy their slightly sweet flavor.



Ingredients.

2 eggs, lightly beaten.

1⁄4 cup (60 ml) milk.

1 1⁄2 cups (135 g) dry breadcrumbs.

1⁄2 cup (50 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese.

1 1⁄2 teaspoons (3 g) garlic powder.

1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon (2.5 to 5.5 g) salt.

1⁄2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper.

1 pinch cayenne pepper.

1 tablespoon (1.5 g) dried parsley.

1⁄2 teaspoon (1 g) dried Italian seasoning.

2 tablespoons (30 ml) oil.

1 tablespoon (14 g) butter.

7 thick-cut pork chops.

Makes 7 servings.

Steps.

1. Set the pork chops at room temperature for 45 minutes. Remove 7 thick-cut pork chops from the refrigerator and put them onto a baking sheet. Let them sit out at room temperature so they're no longer chilled from being in the refrigerator. This will help them cook evenly.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (177 °C) and grease a baking dish. Get out a 9 inches (23 cm) x 13 inches (33 cm) baking dish and spray it with cooking spray. If you don't have cooking spray, you can spread grease or butter along the inside of the pan. Set the baking dish aside.

3. Whisk the eggs with the milk. Crack 2 eggs into a shallow bowl and pour in 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) of milk. Whisk the mixture until the eggs are completely combined with the milk. Set the bowl aside.

4. Mix breadcrumbs with cheese and herbs. Pour 1 1⁄2 cups (135 g) of dry breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl along with 1⁄2 cup (50 g) of freshly grated parmesan cheese. Stir in.

1 1⁄2 teaspoons (3 g) garlic powder

1⁄2 to 1 teaspoon (2.5 to 5.5 g) salt

1⁄2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon (1.5 g) dried parsley

1⁄2 teaspoon (1 g) dried Italian seasoning



5. Dip the pork chops into the wet mixture. Take a thick-cut pork chop and lower it into the egg and milk mixture. Ensure that the pork chop is totally covered with the wet mixture. Dip each pork chop 1 at a time.

6. Coat both sides of the pork chops in the breadcrumb mixture. Lift a pork chop up out of the wet mixture so the excess liquid drips back into the dish. Immediately lower the pork chop into the breadcrumb mixture and turn it over so both sides are coated. Coat each of the chops in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated pork chops on the baking sheet.

7. Sear the pork chops for 4 minutes. Put 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of oil and 1 tablespoon (14 g) of butter into a large skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil mixture is shimmering hot, lay a few of the pork chops into the skillet. Cook them for 4 minutes so they become brown and crisp on the bottom. Cook the chops in batches since they won't all fit into the skillet.

Avoid turning or moving the chops while they're searing.

8. Flip and sear the pork chops for 4 more minutes. Use tongs to flip each pork chop over and continue to cook the other sides over medium-high heat. Cook the chops until they become browned and crunchy. Sear the remaining pork chops in batches.

9. Bake the crispy pork chops for 25 minutes. Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking dish. Put them in the preheated oven and bake the chops until they're cooked to at least 145 °F (63 °C).

If you'd like well-done pork chops, cook them for about 5 minutes longer. Check the centers to see if they're as cooked as you like.

10. Rest the chops for 3 minutes before you and serve them. Once the chops have reached your desired temperature, remove them from the oven and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Rest the chops for 3 minutes and serve them immediately. Serve the chops with roasted potatoes, gravy, cornbread, or cooked greens.

You can store the leftover chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but they'll become soggy as they're stored. Store them for up to 3 or 4 days.



Things You'll Need.

Measuring cups and spoons.

9 inches (23 cm) x 13 inches (33 cm) baking dish.

2 shallow bowls.

Large skillet.

Tongs.

Whisk.

Oven mitts.
