Pork Grilling Tips
Internal Temp: 145°F with 3-minutes rest
- Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat, be sure not to touch any bone.
- Insert meat thermometer through side of pork chop, not from the top straight down. (see photo)
Select Quality Pork
- Pork that is a pinkish-red color. Avoid choosing meat that is pale in color and has liquid in the package.
- Look for pork that has marbling, or small flecks of fat. Marbling is what adds flavor.
- Avoid choosing any meat that has dark colored bone.
- The fat of the pork should be white with no dark spots.
- Select thicker cuts (1.5-2 inches thick) as they won’t dry out as easily during cooking.
