I have you to thank for getting me back to cooking for myself - and as suggested, I did go to One Dish Kitchen for some ideas - I found a simple simple recipe for cooking a single porkchop - preheated the oven to 400 degrees - used olive oil to rub on the chop and then seasoned as instructed - supposed to bake for 20 minutes with internal temperature registering 145 degrees -
i have a new oven and a new oven thermometer so I know that 400 degrees was reached, When I checked the chop after 20 minutes, it barely registered 120 degrees, so I put it back for another 20 minutes - checked again and still not registering 145 degrees - so back into the oven for another 20 minutes - after that, I didn't bother with the meat thermometer, figuring it had to be done.
Surprisingly, it was not dried out (olive oil) and tasted fine. But do you think 20 minutes, normally, is long enough for a chop (it was a little over 1/2 inch)?
