Is it even possible to get a tender pork chop? I've tried brining it but it didn't do much

yep, dredge in seasoned flour, sear both sides then finish in the oven for around five minutes depending on how thick the chop is

How hot should the oven be?1
>>8743300
I usually do 425

Thanks. Mine can't get that hot but I'll figure it out
>>8743322
also pork steak is better than chops
>>8743329
Dunno what that is but it sounds like it'd be more expensive
Don't cook them all the way well done. Trichinosis is so uncommon now that you're not going to get it from supermarket pork.
Pork chops are the chicken breast of pork

Uncommon as it may be, it isn't entirely safe thing to consume either.
Play it safe, and cook your pork well.

Sounds safe to me.
pork doesnt have a very appealing texture at medium rare, ill pass

Chicken isn't much cheaper and porker sears much nicer
>>8743412
Medium rare is fine for pork. Only idiots cook pork to well done.

Don't cook it to death.
Alternately cook it back to life.
If you're going to cook it well done, you have to braise it.

Doesn't have to be medium rare, just not a little pink inside. In all reality, if these are thin chops then they're probably going to be dry no matter what you do. Chops are too lean.
