When Iowa Pork Farmers recently reached out to me to create a sponsored recipe, I knew I wanted to do a pork chop recipe because I get so many emails about recipes for pork chops and how to cook the the perfect pork chop.
Truth be told, I was also VERY excited to work on this post because two of my best friends (Jent and Heather) are pork farmers. So I was happy to share a recipe in honor of farmers.
How to Cook the Perfect Pork Chop
We love pork chops around here and cook them often. Readers often ask me about how to get a tender chop. The secret to cooking the perfect pork chop involves paying close attention to the method in which you cook your chops.
Cooking Pork Chops on the Grill, in the Oven and on the Stove
One common mistake while cooking pork chops on the grill, stove or oven is that folks tend to overcook pork. When using dry heat like that of a grill, stove or oven, it is very important to stop cooking before the chop overcooks or it may turn tough or dry out. Cook fresh cuts of pork to a blush pink color and an internal temperature of 145. The best way to achieve the perfect tender, juicy pork chop on the grill, stove or is to use a meat thermometer (this is our favorite one) and remove the chop once it reaches 145 and let it rest a few minutes before serving or cutting into it.
Cooking Pork Chops in the Crock Pot and Electric Pressure Cooker
The opposite advice is needed when using moist heat to cook your pork chops, like in a crock pot or pressure cooker. The key to super tender chops in the crock pot or electric pressure cooker is often cooking it a bit longer, if your find your chop to be a little tough. Cooking longer under moist heat tends to create a more tender chop, the opposite of cooking under dry heat.

This dish looks yummy! Definetly going to try it for dinner this week, my go to favorite pork recipe is a hit but I need to try something new. My pork recipe is breaded pork chops. i pick a family pack of bone in pork chops, wash them off and set aside. Then I put 4 eggs whisked in a bowl, a bowl of breaded crumbs and a pan with a little butter in it. I dip the pork in along the assembly line(kids love to help) place in pan until golden brown. Delicious crispy outside and juicy tender inside.

Pork Steaks and Sauerkraut are my favorite comfort food to make in the crock pot or pressure cooker. But we love all pork dishes and eat pork ribs often. But at Christmas it’s got to be a bone in whole ham. And bacon is considered a main food group at our house, lol. Bacon makes everything taste great!
