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.
