Don't overcook your amazing, pasture-raised pork chops!

We recommend using a meat thermometer to KNOW the exact internal temperature of your upcoming meal. Avoid ruin and dry pork chops by nailing the internal temperatures.

Flip your chops when the internal temperature reaches 120°F.

Remove from heat when the internal temperature reaches 140°F.

Allow chops to rest for 5-10 min after removing from heat. They will continue to cook internally reaching 145°F. You'll be dazzled by their amazing flavor and juiciness.
