Because pork cuts will cook differently depending on the cut size and thickness, it is important to monitor pork with a digital thermometer. Pork cuts such as chops and tenderloin are best enjoyed between 145 degrees F. (medium rare) and 160 degrees F. (medium), with a 3 minute rest time after leaving the grill. Ground pork should always be cooked to 160 degrees F. For cooking guidance based on cuts, see our handy pork temperature cooking chart.
If you are using a broiler, the meat should be 4 to 5 inches from the heat. On a grill, the chop should go on the hottest part of the cooking grate, over direct heat. Whether grilling or broiling, turn the pork chops over half way through the cooking time to get them cooked evenly. Watch the clock and the temperature. When testing a pork chop with a meat thermometer insert the temperature through the side right to the middle of the meat. This is the coldest part of the chop. Once that temperature reaches 140 degrees F/60 degrees C remove the chops from the grill or broiler and place them on a warm plate. Cover with aluminum foil and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. During this time, the juices and heat will distribute evenly, bringing the final temperature up to 145 degrees F/65 degrees C, the safe temperature for pork.
