How do you get the perfect crust on pork chops?
Let your chops sit on the counter for about 30 minutes before you begin to cook them. If the meat is too cold, the outside will overcook while the inside comes to the right temperature. Giving the pork a little time to warm up will ensure a nice crust on the outside, with a tender center.

When should you Season pork chops?
Seasoning with salt before cooking is an essential step in bringing out the meat’s natural flavors. Season generously, and remember that even a very short brine (just 30 minutes) will improve the taste and texture of the meat.
