Rastelli pork

Has anyone tried RastellI pork filets? I am so tired of buying pork chops at the store that are so tough you can't chew them.

Thanks in advance.

MJD, I buy pork tenderloin and cut into it to flatten it out and grill it on my tfal grill. It comes out so tender. Haven't bought pork chops in years. You can also slice the tenderloins into chop size and cook them the way you do pork chops. The key is to not over cook. Just until there is no red inside or interior temp of 165. Hope that helps you.

@mjd1954 Curtis Stone on HSN has some fabulous pork chops. 'They have a lot of positive reviews and for good reason. The most tender and juicy chops we've ever had.

I buy Curtis Stone pork steaks from HSN. They are very tender and juicy. I don't even attempt to make pork chops, they are too dry.

@mjd1954 - We like them. Our favorite way is to top with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.

We buy delicious pork chops from Omaha Steaks. The plain ones are always juicy, and we also really, really like the Polynesian pork chops. We buy many kinds of meat there--hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, and of course, steaks! The difference in quality is very evident.

I think I read here that Rastelli's fulfills the Curtis Stone brand.

Yes, I cook them in the airfryer

Lightly coat with olive oil,season with salt, pepper,garlic powder, and smoked paprika

Place in air fryer, cook at 380C for 10 -14 minutes flipping pork at half way cooking point.

Test for doneness and cook a little longer if desired.

I got this off of google a couple years ago, and this is the only way I've cooked them since then. They are very good

@HLP, please correct the 380C to 380F. 380C equals 716 degrees fahrenheit.

I don't know if it's the same product, but I had a couple of ADs for the Rastelli Pork Rib Eyes and they are outstanding. It's a good company.

I haven't started another AD because I still have quite a few left (I can only eat so much! hehe).

I also like that they come individually vacuum-sealed.
