How to Broil Pork Chops
Cooking Frozen Pork Chops would need to be done differently, you would want to refer to this post for directions on those. This time we are referring to a package of fresh or thawed bone-in pork chops. Boneless would work the same way but would likely take a minute less time typically.
What is the best way to cook pork chops without drying them out?
Broiled pork chop seasoning is the most important element if you ask me, to add flavor. You can tweak our Dry Rub for Pork Chops here to make spicy if you’d like with some dry Sriracha or red pepper flakes. We keep it sweet and savory with a little chili powder so it is the right heat level for everyone.
Avoid Overcooking when set in oven to broil. This is the next most important thing to keep in mind. They are done when cooked to an internal temperature of 145° F or 63° C then rest 5 minutes before serving. Use a meat thermometer to check and promptly remove from the heat source when they reach 140 F. or 60 degrees C as they will continue to cook during the resting period, usually 5 degrees higher.
Add Moisture by basting with pan juices while baking. You can also cook them in a flavorful sauce or broth to keep them moist.
Should you rinse pork chops before cooking?
It’s generally not necessary to rinse them before cooking. Doing so may increase the risk of cross-contamination in your kitchen. Instead you should just blot the outsides with paper towels to remove moisture. If there is a slimy texture on the outside and/or a strange smell they should be thrown out.
Same goes for cooking our Crown Roast of Pork Recipe. Just inspect, blot, add seasonings and prepare for baking, roasting or broiling as we are sharing with you here.
What is the secret to cooking moist pork chops?
The #1 thing to remember is to not over-cook them. We have shared How Long to Cook Bone In Pork Chops recipe here, cooked in a multitude of ways. With the bone removed it is a bit faster so keep that in mind.
The best way to get the timing right is to have a digital meat thermometer on hand and remove from the oven rack when testing or it won’t be accurate. Resting is VERY important too, when doing this tent the top with aluminum foil as it sits to come to temperature for it to taste amazing.
Can you broil pork chops in a toaster oven?
Toaster oven directions are here. A great choice if you have a small kitchen and only have this appliance to “bake” meat. Keep in mind that the heating coils are very close to the top so you need to keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t get too dark. Lower temperatures are better in this case to make sure the insides get done.
What are some tips for reheating pork chops in the oven?
This could be done to reheat Pork Steaks in the Oven too but you would only need 1 minute. Really no matter what heating element you use you will dry it out. It is better if you can smother the top with gravy first to try and avoid that.
