Critical Success Points
- • Sear the fat cap first to render flavor and achieve a crust.
- • Wait for butter to fully foam before beginning to baste.
- • Reduce orange juice and balsamic vinegar to the proper thickness.
- • Rest the pork chops for half the cooking time to retain juices.
Safety Warnings
- • Pan will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
- • Hot oil and butter can splatter—keep face away.
- • Butter foams and may pop; watch closely.
- • Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches at least 145°F (63°C).
