We should be eating medium-rare pork

[coolerifyoudid]

Driving past those hog confinement operations changed my cravings for pork!

It's an Iowa lobster tank to me.

You don't like medium rare chicken strips?

I'm getting sick just looking at that...

I go 150 degrees. 145 seems to still be slightly cool. 150 keeps it warm and is about medium.

From a food safety standpoint, this is right on.

Guess I need to put my Pork chop on after everyone else's. If it isn't completely white all the way through no one else in the family will eat it.

My family is all over the board, so cooking for them is a nightmare. For example burgers. Mom and Sister both want well done, but my sister has to have the flattest burger possible. Also little to no seasoning. Dad is very specific about his seasoning and it's all odd crap with liquids mixed in, he wants it fat, but at least medium. The wife and I aren't pick on seasonings but go pretty basic to let the meat shine, and we both like it bloody.

Then add in their insane cheese demands and it's just terrible.

I usually pull chops off the grill around 145 so standing they are just about perfect. Pork is the only meat I can cook and all 6 people living here will east mostly without complaint.

When I cook for the family they eat what I make, the way I like it.

We've been getting pork tenderloins quite a bit lately and they are phenomenal. Put them on the grill over indirect heat for an hour at 350. You can cut it with your fork!

I like Ribeye chops more than steak anymore, and about 1/4 of the price. Nothing wrong with a lil pink pork.

Im a self proclaimes grill master, especially with chops. I brine them preferably 8-24 hours, but at least 2 is okay.

Per 6 chops:
1/3 cup salt (mostly seasoned, with regular and any other I have around on top)
1/3 cup parsley
1/3 cup mixture of everything else.

I dont go too crazy with seasonings because I want mostly thr chop flavor. Cook to about a medium give or take. Havent had a complaint yet about them and they are still juicy as leftovers. Thick cut chops as well. High heat, flipping a lot.

Whar pork-burger love? Maybe with some plain chips and baked beans?

Pork is gross for the most part

Then you are just doing it wrong. I grew up HATING pork mainly because of the way my parents prepared the same cuts of cheap, flat, overcooked meat.

Best way i've found, especially if you're worried about cooking out the bacteria, is cooking chops sous vide. Can cook them at a lower temperature due to the increased cooking time (you can even cook them rare if you really want to) and they don't dry out anywhere near as much as if they were thrown on the grill.

1-2 hours cooking at 140 degrees, followed by a quick sear, perfect chops.

I bought a sous vide stick recently. I've only used it one time but really liked the results. One of these days I need to get some split chicken breasts and try them

I can cook any cut of steak any way someone wants it, but I struggle like hell to cook a pork chop perfectly. What's the secret?

Not sure how someone can be this wrong about something.

You should eat everything but the oink.
