So Im not much of a cookIm 19 just moved out on my own less than a year ago and am still learning a lot of thingsI have never liked to cook so now that I am out on my own have been forced to learn.How do you brown pork chop loins in the oven?? I have seen people do it beforePut some seasoning on it maybe with some oil and it comes out delicious and brown and tastes much better than pan frying itSo how do you do this? When I put my porkchops in the oven I used this trick I learned to quickly cook something fast, no frillsI wrap it in aluminum foil and just put it in the ovenWhen I did this the meat tasted good but it was not crispy or brown! It was actually whiteBut I assure you it was fully cooked and did taste goodBut I want it to be brown and crispyWhy did this happen? What do I do next time? Do I have to cook it openly instead of wrapping it in tin foil?
If it's wrapped, it won't get brown - and you're right, the brown, crispy outside is the best part The BEST thing to do is pan sear the loin first in a skillet with some oil on highYou're not really cooking it, just searing the outside - it will finish cooking in the ovenBelieve me, this is the methodTrying to do that in a dry oven will result in a dry piece of meat When you roast it in the oven, don't wrap it in foil - instead, put it in a shallow pan with some liquid - maybe just an inchYou can use water, chicken broth, or anything else that strikes your fancyApple juice/cider work very will with porkThe idea is that the liquid will prevent the loin from drying out without affecting the great crust you created on the skillet As for the skillet you used for browning, those bits of food are very flavorful and you could make any number of delicious sauces from itThis is called fond.
