Pork chops are symbolic of good ole comfort food. Learn how to make them juicy and browse easy pork chop recipes for any occasion.
The Key to Juicy Chops
Pork has changed over the years. A few generations ago, pork was fattier and resulted in juicier, flavorful chops. Today, pork has been bread to be a lean meat. Brining pork is very important for making the meat juicy and avoiding dry, tough chops. Brining the meat helps them to hold more moisture and flavor. Even if a recipe does not call for brining, soaking pork chops in a liquid solution of water salt and sugar can improve the final taste of the recipe. Rinse the chops after brining and pat dry. Discard the brine after use.

Question by Lepke: Does anyone have a recipe for roasting a whole turkey from America’s Test Kitchen/Cooks Illustrated?
I started subscribing to Cooks Illustrated magazine, but don’t have access to the America’s Test Kitchen website archive of recipes. The current issue of Cooks Illustrated has a recipe for roasting a turkey breast, but I don’t have their recipe for roasting a whole unstuffed turkey. Can anyone please post the recipe for roasting a whole turkey. I’ve never had a bad recipe from Cooks Illustrated and this will be my first Thanksgiving turkey. Thanks for your time and effort.
Best answer:
Answer by heartbroken
cooking a turkey is easy ..just follow these directions and your Thanksgiving will be a success….
Roast Turkey:
1 16 to 18 pound turkey
1 tablespoon dried rosemary, crumbled
2 teaspoons ground sage
2 teaspoons dried thyme, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
kosher salt
salt pork (optional)
bacon (optional)
1 stick butter, melted
garlic powder
paprika
1 can broth, for basting
Choose a plump turkey. Clean and dry thoroughly inside and out. Remove giblets and turkey neck from inside of turkey and rub liberally with kosher salt. Brine turkey, if desired. (don’t bother) Combine rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper in small bowl. Rub some in each cavity.
Pack body cavity loosely with the stuffing (see below) you will be using, or prepare stuffing separately (do not stuff turkey until the last minute before cooking). If turkey is being stuffed, truss or sew closed, or fasten with small lacing skewers and cotton string. Tuck in wings and fold tail in over the stuffing.
The skin over the breast of the turkey can be loosened and thin strips of lean salt pork may be placed just under the skin to keep the breast meat moist. The wings and thighs can also be wrapped with bacon strips, if desired. Brush the top of the turkey generously with melted butter, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and paprika.
Roast turkey, uncovered, at 375°F, basting frequently with melted butter and turkey or chicken broth, or pan juices. After 1 hour, baste and sprinkle with seasonings again, then make a tent with aluminum foil and cover breast loosely. Reduce heat to 325°F and continue roasting for another hour, basting occasionally.
Uncover breast and continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of the thigh registers 165°F (be careful not to allow the thermometer to hit a bone or the reading will be false). This will take about 90 to 110 minutes longer, depending upon the size of the turkey and the oven being used. (Convection oven cooking time should be reduced by 25% – see your oven manual).
While the turkey is roasting, prepare giblet gravy (see below).
When turkey is golden brown and done, allow it to sit for 20 minutes to rest before carving. Transfer turkey to a serving platter. Reserve the pan drippings for gravy. Don’t wait for the little plastic “pop-up” devices to pop, or it’s likely that the bird will be overdone and dry.
If you don’t own an instant read thermometer, test to see if turkey is cooked by inserting the tines of a large fork into the upper thigh. If juice is not pink, then turkey is done.
Carve turkey by removing drumstick, wings and thick by running a sharp carving knife through joints. Remove breast and slice diagonally across the grain. Serve with stuffing, gravy, and your favorite sides.
Giblet Gravy:
giblets
2-3 celery stalks
2-3 bay leaves
1 onion
3-4 garlic cloves
salt
pepper
Wondra or all purpose flour
turkey/chicken bouillon or soup base
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
5-7 sage leaves, minced
pan drippings
Simmer giblets (save liver for something other than gravy) with a few stalks of celery and several bay leaves, an onion and 3-4 cloves garlic in a medium saucepan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste and simmer, reducing volume until broth is flavorful. Thicken with Wondra or all purpose flour to desired thickness. Add Turkey or chicken bouillon or soup base, if desired, and 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms. Stir in 5-7 leaves fresh sage, minced or 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage. When turkey is done, add some of the pan drippings to this gravy, pouring off excess fat first.
If stuffing is to be baked outside of the turkey, place this in the oven during the last 45 minutes of roasting, alongside the turkey.
Stuffing:
1 lb. chicken gizzards, finely chopped
1 lb. pork sausage, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot
2 stalks celery, minced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 teaspoon sage, chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
pinch of celery seed
2 1/2 cups Swanson Chicken Broth
1 stick butter
Pepperidge Farm Herb Cubed Stuffing cubes
1-2 eggs
3-4 tablespoons parsley, chopped
For a flavorful stuffing, saute finely chopped chicken gizzards and crumbled pork sausage in 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter with 2-3 cloves minced garlic, 1 shallot, 2 stalks minced celery, 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of celery seed. Add 2 1/2 cups Swanson Chicken broth and 1 stick butter. When butter melts, stir in 1 14 oz. package of Pepperidge Farm Herb Cubed Stuffing cubes. Mix well; remove from heat and quickly stir in 1-2 eggs, and 3-4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
Pack stuffing into a buttered baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, removing foil to allow stuffing to brown during the last 20 minutes (the stuffing can be browned after the turkey is removed by increasing oven temperature to 425°F.)

To achieve the desired flavor on grilled dishes select first which grill to use, then learn some tips on grilling vegetables, meat, and fish.
When it’s raining outside or its winter time and you badly want to savor the taste of burgers or barbecue being cooked outside during summer, there is always a great alternative. You can now enjoy the wonders of outdoor grilling inside your home through the use of an indoor grill. The indoor grill comes in various sizes and varieties. Also below are some tips on how to cook different food items using the indoor grill.
Selecting your grill
You have several indoor grill options you can use for cooking. Among them is the electric countertop grill. This grill is classified into 2 types: the open grills and the contact grills. Contact grills consists of a top and bottom plates which contain the food allowing it to be cooked on it’s two sides simultaneously, open grills on the other hand are similar to griddles, they have a lone flat surface intended for cooking and you can flip the food item to cook its other side. Another variant is the stovetop grill; you can find in stores some heavy cast iron models that can have at least 2 burners. It’s better to use the grill pan though for even distribution of heat. Select a grill pan that has indentations of the grill lines on the pan’s bottom. Other useful utensils are rubberized tongs to avoid damaging the grilling surface and a grilling brush.
Tips on grilling vegetables
Thinner and smaller vegetables can be cooked with good results in a grill like thinly sliced potato, eggplants, tomatoes, zucchinis, green beans, asparagus, etc. How you season the vegetables may affect the results. Before grilling, you may choose to season it with salt or other herbs. Bring your grill to the highest setting and have it pre-heat accordingly before placing the vegetables. Apply a small amount of vegetable oil before grilling. Flat vegetables are lined up diagonally on the grill while the long stick-like veggies are arranged perpendicular to the grill to achieve the desired marks. Season it occasionally to achieve the desired flavor and check the sides once in a while to ensure even cooking.
Tips on grilling meat and fish
The right slices of meat and fish is an important factor in achieving a delectable grilled taste. The thinner the cut, the better the results are for they’ll cook faster. Also, have the meat in uniform cuts for it to cook evenly. How you add seasonings to the meat will also affect the outcome. Though the simple sprinkling of salt and pepper may be enough, a spice rub containing smoky-flavored spices may be better. A marinade or grilling sauce too would be a good choice, apply it on the meat 20 minutes before grilling. Before cooking the meat, be sure that your grill is properly heated. Bring the countertop grill or electric grill to medium-high heat, brush the surface with vegetable oil then place the meat. Cook the meat using the desired procedures. Before serving, always check if the meat is evenly cooked on every side.
Enjoy the smell of burgers and barbecue anytime using your indoor grill. Use it with safety and you can now indulge in grilling anytime you want.

Question by Erik: What is the simmer sauce in chicken street tacos?
I have eaten these type of tacos at a festival prepared by Mexicans and they are so good. I noticed the shredded chicken is in a sauce and I haven’t been able to emulate that. What special Mexican spices are in this simmer sauce? Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by shine
2 pounds boneless chicken thighs
1 large white onion, peeled and quartered
5 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ancho or other mild dried chili, optional
Salt and pepper to taste.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and add water to cover. Turn heat to high, bring to a boil, and skim any foam that comes to the surface. Partially cover and adjust heat so mixture simmers steadily. Cook until meat is very tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from liquid and cool.
Shred meat with fingers. Taste and adjust seasonings. Yes it is that simple!
