Introduction

Cooking pork chops is one of my favorite ways to use up extra pantry foods. If you’ve got some cooked lentils or beans, this is a great way to use them up and add flavor to your meal. And since pork can be dry if overcooked, cooking it with bones will keep it moist while adding richness in the process.

How to Cook a Bone in Pork Chop

• Put your bone-in pork chop in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for 20 minutes, then flip it over and bake for another 15 minutes.
• Flip the pork chop over again and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving!

If you want to make sure the pork is cooked through, use an instant-read thermometer. Insert it into the center of the pork chop so that it doesn’t touch bone or fat, and check for an internal temperature of 145F. The USDA recommends cooking pork to 160F.

If you don’t have a thermometer, here are some telltale signs that your meat is done:

• It’s brown on both sides and slightly charred around its edges (this is called “searing”)
• The juices run clear when you pierce it with a fork

Cook The Rest of Your Meal

The rest of your meal will be cooking at lower temperatures, and you can use the bones to make a broth or soup. The longer you cook bone-in pork chops, the more tender they’ll be. If you want very tender meat with a slightly crispy crust on top (like I do), then cook it for 35 minutes or so.

If your family likes their meat well done when they eat it–and this is especially true if someone in your household has trouble chewing tough cuts of meat–then give them another 5 minutes or so on each side after removing them from the oven at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes total cooking time per side.”

Cooked bones contain iron and calcium, both essential minerals that we need in small amounts each day. Cooking bones helps break up the calcium into a form we can absorb more easily. Many people also think that slow cooking makes meat more tender, so consider cooking other parts of your meal at lower temperatures as well!

Cooking bones makes them more digestible, which is important because the minerals in bone are essential to our health. Bone marrow contains iron and calcium, both minerals you need each day that your body can’t make on its own. Cooking bones helps break up the calcium into a form we can absorb more easily.

Bone marrow isn’t just for humans–pigs love it too! If you don’t want to eat pork chops with all those little bits of juicy goodness inside, try cooking other parts of your meal at lower temperatures so they’re tender without being overcooked (like ribs).

Conclusion

Now that you know how long to cook a bone in pork chop, it’s time to get cooking!
