You say pork chops on a Tuesday.

Biggreenpharmacist

Thanks guys. They were really good. I got a thumbs up from everybody. They keep putting pork loins on sale so I keep cutting thick chops. Love 'em!!!

I had pork Chops Tuesday also! Put them in a Brine for a couple hours then rinsed them off applied some Olive Oil and seasonings. Grilled them about 2-1/2 minutes per side. Super juicy and tender. Got a lot of points for he little woman for those. If you don't brine your chops try it I think you will like them that way. I won't be eating them and more without a couple hours in the brine.

I'm also a fan of brining pork chops, yes these are pork chops.

Biggreenpharmacist

I didnt really plan ahead. Was kinda spur of the moment. I like to brine 'em, just didnt get the chance.

What's a good go to brine for chops @GaryLange‌ @Biggreenpharmacist‌ ?

Thatgrimguy

Looks wonderful!

RiverDoc

Looks incredible!

Biggreenpharmacist

1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 3 cups water. Dissolve salt and sugar in water over heat. Add 2 cups ice to speed cooling. Then brine for few hours.

Thats my quick and dirty if I'm
Not trying to get fancy.

nice job Big Green.....did uou use mangrates...or cast iron

Biggreenpharmacist

Just cast iron. Probably would have tasted better on mangrates though.

@Biggreenpharmacist‌
The Mangrates are key

grege345 This is the Brine I used for the Chops. I was only doing two so I did cut it back to about 2/3 to 1/2.
3/4 cup coarse kosher salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup boiling water
1 gallon cold water
1 teaspoon black pepper

A heavy-duty plastic tub, stainless-steel bowl, or re-sealable plastic bag can work as a brine container. as long as the pork is fully submerged. Weight with a plate, if necessary.
To determine how much brine you'll need, place the meat to be brined in your chosen container. Add water to cover. Remove meat and measure water.
Dissolve salt and sugar in boiling water. Add it to the cold water; add pepper and stir to combine. Chill brine completely in refrigerator before adding pork. Place your pork in in water an place in refrigerator for time required. This is about 2-3 hours. You can also experiment with seasonings like garlic, ginger, fresh herbs, juniper berries, clove, cinnamon stick, vanilla beaan mustard seed, coriander seed, star anise, hot pepper flakes or sichuan peppercorns.
Rise pork twice after removing from brine; discard brine. Cook pork to your favorite recipe. I used Olive Oil and McCormicks Steak seasoning and they were great.
