Notes

Cooking temperature:
  • A safe internal temperature for pork chops, tenderloin, and pork loin is 145 to 160 degrees F. 145 degrees F is considered medium rare while 160 degrees F is considered well done.
Cooking time for the grill or pan frying:
  • For half inch thick boneless pork chops, the total cook time should be around 6 to 7 minutes, flipping about half way through.
  • For one inch thick boneless pork chops, the total cook time should be around 8 to 10 minutes, flipping half way through.
  • The cooking time is affected if you have bone-in pork chops. Use a cooking thermometer to check the thickest part next to the bone. It's safe to consume when it's 145 to 160 degrees F.
