Pork chop
A cross-section cut from the loin of a pig, usually including meat and a rib or vertebral bone.
About Pork chop
A pork chop is a portion cut across the loin, commonly including a section of bone. Depending on its position and butchery, it may contain rib or vertebral bone and can include a strip of fat around the edge. The lean meat is pale pink when raw and becomes firmer and lighter in colour when cooked.
Chops are commonly grilled, pan-fried, broiled or roasted, and may be sold bone-in or boneless, thick or thin. The loin cut is distinct from shoulder or leg cuts sometimes marketed as pork steaks. Trimmed, brined, breaded and cooked chops are different forms of the ingredient.
