Instructions

1. Bake seasoned pork chops by briefly browning the pork chops in a skillet, then placing them in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 40 minutes, depending on how well done you want your pork chops. A baked pork chop pairs well with a thick, gravy-style sauce.

2. Set a grill to the hottest possible temperature for thin-cut pork chops. After seasoning the meat -- a marinade is excellent on a grilled pork chop -- place them on the grill. Grill for two minutes on each side. Allow to rest in foil after grilling. If you're using a coal grill, rotate the pork chops at the one minute mark to ensure even cooking.

3. Saute 1/4-inch-thick pork chops in a very hot pan. Marinade or dry rub the meat to add flavor, and allow the skillet to fully heat before sauteing. You’ll hear a searing or sizzling sound when the meat touches the pan, indicating the high heat. Saute for two to three minutes on each side, then allow to rest before serving.
