How long to cook pork chop

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 8:00

How thick is it?

Bone in or out?

How do you want it?

Pork is safe at 63°C / 145°F. Cooking past that is a preference, not a requirement.

How to tell without a timer

Rest it for a few minutes. 63°C / 145°F is done.

At this thickness and doneness a pan alone will scorch the crust long before the centre catches up. Sear both sides, then finish it in a 200°C / 400°F oven and use a thermometer.

How it goes

  1. Side 1 of 2. Leave it alone — it releases when it has crusted.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
