Pork chops - Need help from the ladies.

[Jesus.]

How do you cook them? I always cook steak, lamb chops and things in the griddle pan, but I always just cook PC's in the oven as I'm weary about under cooking them. Unfortunately, this really dries them out.

How do you cook yours?

[Niamh.]

Bit sexist :idc:

I always grill pork chops though

[GiRTh]

Pan fry then finish off in the oven.

[Marcus.]

try to cook them in the oven

[Vanessa]

I cook everything in the oven. That way i'm less likely to burn things. :joker:

[GiRTh]

Bit sexist :idc:

:thumbs: True

How long do you cook each side, then how long in the oven?

I know that a nice thick steak is 2 mins each side, but PC's are difficult to judge.

[King Gizzard]

Marcus I can see your vagina from here

I know that a nice thick steak is 2 mins each side, but PC's are difficult to judge.Press the top of the chop and see how far your finger goes in. If it doesn't go in very far its probably overdone.

[Livia]

I find this thread racist.

Oh, Oh... and sexist. Just noticed the title.

[Josy]

Sexist thread :laugh:

You probably already ate them by now but if you are sick of them drying up or just want a change try this...my OH loves when I make them this way:

Put them in a casserole dish, cut some onions up and add them on top then mix up an oxo cube with water (I use 2) and pour over the chops and onions to cover then add it to a preheated oven for about 45 mins, turn the chops over and put them back in the oven until you see the fluid thickening up a little bit and they will be lovely cooked and tender.

[Lee.]

I'm going to try that Josy it sounds yummy!

[Marc]

Sexist.. but all of the women have answered and helped :laugh:

[Josy]

I'm going to try that Josy it sounds yummy!

It is Lee :love:

Its a good one to make when you cant be bothered standing in the kitchen cooking for ages too, just add it to the oven and let it cook away on it's own :laugh:

[Cherie]

Thanks for that. Don't you find that the gravy is really fatty? I have eaten them now but I may well give that a try next time.

I covered them in honey last night before shoving them in the oven, and I ended up just ruining a baking tray as it had runny honey welded to it.

[Marc]

Is Girth a woman? :suspect:

Nope but women love GiRTh :evilgrin:

[Lee.]

Sexist.. but all of the women have answered and helped :laugh:

It's not sexist at all.. Women are better at everything!

[Marc]

:laugh: Lee I do love you but I'd love to see you produce semen

[Lee.]

Do you brown them in a pan first?

[Lee.]

Oh, I've just remembered something my mum used to do with pork chops.. Can't remember exactly, but they were done in cider and had crispy cheese and breadcrumbs on top. God they were good!!

-phones mammy-

[Josy]

Nah it doesnt turn out that fatty, I try to use chops that have hardly any fat on them though.

And you could have got that honey off your baking tray with cola.

[Josy]

No I don't Lee, I tried that before though and OH said he preferred them without being browned first but I suppose it depends on what you like.

[SharkAttack]

You have to go with the frying method if you want them to be as tasty as possible. Not as healthy though! ;) My fav is breading them in Panko crumbs(Google it), with a light egg wash to make it all stick, and some thyme, and whatever spices you like, and then a bit of olive(or whatever oil you prefer) in the pan. Heat each side 7 minutes, turning only once. That's for chops a half inch or 3/4s. Thinner chops take less time.

Also, I carve off the fat from around the edges a bit if I find the butcher has done a **** job, but definitely leave some or most on, otherwise you won't get the flavor intended. Gl, and PM if you want some of my recipes.

Just the way American say things like this makes it sound yummy, here we would say dip your pork chop in beaten egg, definately not as good as an egg wash.

This isn't another of your 1st century coconut fads is it? :suspect: How does cola work? Would I just soak it?

[Kazanne]

Marcus I can see your vagina from here

:joker::joker::joker: ' Nathan ,Jesus,wrap them in foil and pop in a halogen oven if you have one otherwise conventional cooker would do,put some spices etc on them too.

[Jesus.]

I'm a boy living on my own, do you really think I have a halogen oven lying around the place?

[Josy]

No it really works, google it :laugh:

And just put a little on the tray and put it in the oven to heat for a bit.

[Lee.]

Josy, I regularly do a ham joint in coca cola.. It's one of the easiest, tastiest things I make. :love:

[Jesus.]

Does it wash the pan up while it's cooking? :suspect:

I've just checked and seems like this had basis in science, Josy. I quite want to burn something now, so I can try it.

[Marc]

Josy, I regularly do a ham joint in coca cola.. It's one of the easiest, tastiest things I make. :love:

I was about to add this. "somebody I know cooks ham in cola D:" lol

[Lee.]

Try it Marc it's soooo good!

[MTVN]

You Scots and your crazy recipes

[Vanessa]

I'd love to try this. :hugesmile:

[Lee.]

You Scots and your crazy recipes

It's actually a Nigella Lawson recipe :idc:

[Marc]

Lee I demand you come down 'ere and cook me it pls

[Lee.]

Stop being a lazy swine!! Get a ham joint, a large bottle of coke and a peeled onion cut in half. Put it all in a pot for a couple of hours and Robert is your fathers brother. :)

[Niamh.]

Pork Chops are probably one of my least favourite meats though I have to say

[Marc]

Yeah I hate pork chops :laugh: why am I replying

[Lee.]

I hate them too.. Lets all go and talk about Jesus

[Niamh.]

:laugh2:

[Kazanne]

I'm a boy living on my own, do you really think I have a halogen oven lying around the place?

Why not? they are ideal for the single person,and I always pictured you as a man:suspect:

[Livia]

I hate them too.. Lets all go and talk about Jesus

Yeah... King of the Jews, wants advice on cooking pork.

[GiRTh]

Yeah... King of the Jews, wants advice on cooking pork.:joker:

Wait till I start a thread on shell fish.

[Marc]

:laugh2:

[Cherie]

I'm a bit bemused by this thread, apparently only ladies know what to do with a pork chop, and single men don't own halogen cookers. Each day is a revelation on here.

[Lee.]

I don't even know what a halogen cooker is :sad:

[Niamh.]

I don't even know what a halogen cooker is :sad:

Me either :laugh:

[GiRTh]

I just found out what a Halogen Oven is. Who would use a thing like that?

[Jesus.]

Do people seriously think the thread title wasn't intentionally sexist?

[Livia]

Haha.... silence........................................... ...........

[Cherie]

Do people seriously think the thread title wasn't intentionally sexist?

:laugh2: deliberately left off the smilie on my post, did you actually think I was serious.

[Cherie]

Plus I had to look up Halogen Oven too. :bawling:

Aw,Cherie,not you aswell,:joker:halogen ovens are great things,much like a microwave but they cook food better,they are healthy as they drain fat and they don't dry your food up,i'de rather use my conventional cooker but for speed,my little hally is excellent.

[Cherie]

Oh! Thanks Kaz.

[Kazanne]

Oh! Thanks Kaz.

:joker: If your in any doubt Cherie,here's little hally:hugesmile:

[Kazanne]

Yes you can ,would be great for uni marc,much better than microwaves imo.:hugesmile:

[Niamh.]

Kazanne you need to start getting paid commission by one of them halogen Oven companies :laugh:

[Josy]

I have a halogen it's pretty handy but I don't use it as much as I should, I use my slow cooker a lot more.

[Jesus.]

[Livia]

'Pierce film lid and microwave for five minutes'. That's proper cooking.

..how did you cook them in the end, Heyzeus..?...I cook mine in the oven in a bit of cider and herbs, so they don't dry out....not that I have any idea what they taste like as I don't eat them...they're probably horrible and my family are too polite to say....

[lostalex]

My dad made great pork chops, always grilled. You've gotta have a good BBQ sauce to go with it.

I covered them in honey and cooked them in the oven. I tend to over-cook meat that you can't eat bloody.

..yeah, my OH tends to do that..I think he's so worried about food poisoning if it isn't completely cooked, so he cooks it far too long and the boys always roll their eyes because it's usually unedible..I don't actually eat meat but I think I probably cook it ok because I only have to look at some of his over-cooked stuff to see that it isn't the best....

..was it good with the honey..did you put anything else on..?...

[Jesus.]

It was as good as over-cooked pork covered in honey can ever be, really. My sister gave me a recipe that I'll try next time. She roasts some small new potatoes, tomatoes, and mushrooms, then covers the chops in pesto and cooks them on top of the other stuff.

I'll still over cook them, but the rest of it sounds really nice.

why don't you do a jesus cookes thread and add some pictures of different meals, and ingredients, im an average cook, but I wont be beaten at washing up:shocked:

[Jesus.]

That was Novo's baby, and I couldn't compete with the genius that was chicken wings with bbq sauce, or biscuits with butter and cheese.

I may show the result of the pesto pork chops though.
