Notes

  • What temperature should pork chops be cooked too?
  • Pork chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. The best way to check the temperature a boneless pork chop is to insert a meat thermometer into the center of the pork chop to check it's temperature.
  • Are pink pork chops safe to eat?
  • Cooked pork chops that are a little pink inside are safe to eat as long as the internal temperature is at 145 degrees F.
  • Why are my pork chops chewy?
  • If your pork chops are chewy it is most likely because they are overcooked. Pork chops are very lean and overcooking them makes them dry and chewy.
  • You should cook the pork chops to a temperature of 145 degrees F and then take them out of the oven to rest.  This way they’ll be juicy and tender.
