3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Prepare pork chops (bone-in, 1-inch thick) (1-inch thick bone-in center cut chops, seasoned with dry rub, seared 2 min per side).

2
Cook

Cook for 18–22 mins. Do not flip; allow surface to develop undisturbed.

3
Check & Rest

Slight blush of pink in center; thermometer reads 145°F at thickest point next to bone. Confirm internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) with 3-min rest. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

USDA FSIS 145°F pork standard (2011 revision); tested in GE Profile 30" convection oven with ThermoWorks Thermapen One.

Pro Tip: USDA revised pork to 145°F — overcooking to 165°F dries chops out completely. Sear in a hot skillet first, then transfer to oven to finish.
