What Is the Best Way to Cook Pork So It Is Tender?
The key to tender pork is cooking it low and slow or using quick, high-heat methods properly:
- Slow Cooking – Ideal for pork shoulder, ribs, or roasts. This method keeps the meat juicy.
- Brining – Helps pork chops and tenderloins stay moist and flavorful.
- Reverse Searing – Cook thick cuts at a low temp first, then sear for a perfect finish.
- Using a Meat Thermometer – Avoid overcooking! Pork is best at 145°F with a slight pink center.
- Marinating – Acidic ingredients like citrus or vinegar break down tough fibers.
- Resting the Meat – Let pork rest before slicing to keep juices locked in.
