How Long Do You Need to Cook Pork Chops?

Boneless Pork chops that are about 1 .25 inches thick take about 25 minutes to cook. Some bone in pork chops may take a little longer, around 30 minutes. However, it is not the time to cook that is important. The most important number is the internal temperature that USDA pork is considered safe and that is 145 degrees F. Get yourself a meat thermometer. If you like your pork chops well done, then that would be an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. The secret to juicy tender pork chops is to cook them just until 145 degrees F and let them rest covered for about 5-10 minutes before serving.

How to Make Pork Chops Tender and Juicy?

You can brine or marinate pork chops, if you desire. This does make them delicious. However, the number one thing you can do to make sure that your pork chops are tender and juicy is not to overcook them. Back in the day, your parents used to tell you must cook your pork until it resembles shoe leather and then a few minutes more just to make sure. However, this is not the case any more. The new USDA Pork regulations states that pork that reaches an internal temperature to 145 degrees F and is allowed to rest covered for 5-10 minutes is all that is needed for pork safety. This magic temperature helps to ensure that you are going to get the most tender and juicy pork chops ever.

How to Cook During a Typhoon!

Typhoon season in Hong Kong is from May to early November.

Do you remember Super Typhoon Mangkhut or Super Typhoon Usagi? They both left a path of destruction and this is a reminder to be prepared.

Many typhoons are pretty mild in Hong Kong, except for lots of fallen trees and a few broken windows. Many pray for a four-day holiday as the Hong Kong Observatory starts to raise her flag warnings. For school age children and workers, a T8 typhoon warning is like a snow day in Michigan. Public transport stops, schools close and many office buildings close. Did you know that during a typhoon most of karaoke bars remain open so that is the business men and women can practice for their big solo debut? (smiling)

So you might be asking, what does Healthy World Cuisine do while Super Typhoons are tormenting Asia? We cooked, of course! As long as you have gas for cooking and do not loose power you are in the clear. Most generally speaking, we never loose power in Hong Kong. Unlike in Michigan, where all you need is some incompetent construction worker to plow a bulldozer into a main generator and you can be without power for a week or more.

While the rest of Hong Kong is enjoying their ramen noodles from a cardboard bowl with their disposable chopsticks, our family enjoyed a decadent meal of tender rosemary herbed pork chops with a roasted shallot wine sauce, cumin spiced carrots, baked potatoes and a delightful spring salad. We usually do not boast about our dinners. However, we have to tell you this was one really happy accident that needs to happen again.

Over the last several days, we have been performing a little bit of emergency preparedness. We were born and raised in Michigan. The winters are very long and cold. If a big storm passes through, you might not have electricity and water for days and access to supplies are limited. We always have a gas mixture reserved for the generator, flashlights, batteries, extra water and canned goods stored for an emergency. Storing extra blankets and food and water in your car is also highly advised.

In Japan, we added to the existing emergency list. An emergency back pack was available for each member of our family. You never know when that big earthquake may hit and you need to evacuate quickly.

As far as Hong Kong goes, we have also have emergency back packs ready to go. Extra water and extra non-perishable foods are usually always ready and on the shelves. No matter where you live in the world, National disasters happen. Don't wait until one happens to you. GET PREPARED NOW! Take action today. You can thank us later.

In the days leading up to a typhoon in Hong Kong, the shelves will be emptied as the public starts to panic. (We live in the world's most densely populated city in the world. You just need to get there before the 8 million others decide to stock and reload as well.) We are not an expert regarding emergency preparedness, by any means. However, Tonnette has done a whole blog series on emergency preparedness. Don't wait until you have an emergency to start planning, then it is too late.

Now let's get back to this amazing Rosemary Herbed Pork Chops with Shallot Wine Sauce that you must try. It is not a prerequisite to make during a typhoon. However, you can make it any time you want to make a delicious dinner in less than 30 minutes. We found these gorgeous bone in tender thick cut pork chops from Australia, some fresh rosemary, shallots and a new spice mix called Kick'N Chicken Weber's seasoning.

Kick'N Chicken seasoning is essentially a mix of dried onion, sea salt, garlic, crushed red peppers, orange peel and paprika.

Our boneless pork chops were thick cut maybe about 1.25 inches thick. We rubbed our pork chops with olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary and spices, seared them in a hot pan just until golden in color. Then, popped our Rosemary Herbed Pork Chops in the oven with the shallots and baked for about 30 minutes. The simple roasted shallot wine sauce is to die for. You have to love how quick and easy this meal comes together. If we can do it, you can do it. We are here for you if you have questions along the way.
