🍖 What Are Pork Chops?
Pork chops are cuts of meat from the loin of a pig. They’re tender, flavorful, and cook relatively quickly.
Common Types:
- Rib chop – Very tender, with a bone and some marbling
- Loin chop – Leaner, mild flavor
- Boneless chop – Easy to cook, slightly less juicy
- Shoulder chop – More flavorful, benefits from slower cooking
