Sous Chef
Darlings.....
I was so excited...I decided to be clever and brown 6 1/2" thick pork chops in my roasting pan (old fashioned black & white speckled porcelain over tin kind) on the stove, pan situated over two burners. You see, I cook for a lot of people usually, and have a hard time browning things quickly. I made a "sauce" of brown sugar and mustard (about 2 1/2 cups worth, 50/50) (any mustard I could find in the house). Poured sauce over pork chops and baked in the oven for 30 minutes at 425 F (turned chops once, after 15 minutes). They were very tasty and my judgemental nasty girls actually liked them. BUT.... to me, they obviously were overcooked. I SHOULD have done kadesma's sons favorites, silly me! How long are you supposed to cook a pork chop?
PS When pregnant with first daughter (now 21) was preparing pork chops to grill. The smell "got" to me, and since then, have NEVER touched raw pork......I've only recently gotten over this inability to face raw pork in my kitchen
So. Tell me. How long should I have cooked these chops?
