    sounds like you could do a T-Rex method of cooking them.
    High heat to carmelize them, then reduce heat to finish the cook. For a different twist, when they are almost done, glaze them with a reduction of port wine and fig preserves or apricot preserves.

    Try doing 2 minutes a side at 700 degrees, and then completly shut your egg down and cook for another 2 to 4 minutes depending on your taste and how thick it is. I like mine cooked to medium, so it usually takes about 3 minutes. As far as seasoning, with pork chops I usually just use Salt & lots of fresh cracked pepper

    perfect for hot tubbing. into a ziploc bag, no air, and submerge in a bowl of hot tap water (hot as you can) for 20-30 minutes.[p]sear over a moderate-high fire, say 650-700 for 3 minutes a side, and you'll be pretty close to 140-145 internal.

    Eggtorgy,
    I definitely will do the 700 degrees on each side with the salt and pepper. I think that I will try Stike's hot tub method with that.[p]ab ovo

    Chef Wil,
    I don't know if I have any port but I guess I could use a strong Cabernet as a sub. What do you think?

    works good with thick steaks too.[p]i do it with the dry aged beef, because i get perfact sear on the outside, and no "well done" layer at all. nothing but sear and medium-rare/rare
