About Pork chops

Pork chops are cross-cut or portioned cuts from the loin, and may include a rib or part of the backbone depending on the butchery style. They usually have a firm, pale-pink lean center with a surrounding fat edge; bone-in and boneless versions are sold.

Chops are commonly grilled, pan-fried, roasted or braised. Their tenderness and flavour vary with thickness, bone presence and the amount of visible fat, so the name covers several closely related cuts rather than one uniform piece.
