If you purchase a large package of pork chops you can have several easy meals for the week. For busy working moms or dads that’s a smart way to shop. If you don’t get around to cooking the rest of the package within a day or two at the most, be sure to wrap them up and freeze them for later use. The chops in the freezer will stay good for four to six month. I just bet they won’t stay in there that long with these super recipes and the quick cooking Instant Pot or Farberware electric pressure cooker.

So why are boneless pork chops the favorites of most people?

First off, boneless pork chops are more tender and leaner than other cuts of pork. They also have a more subtle flavor. they come from the most costly cuts of meat from the pig even though they are cheaper than the pork roast. Boneless pork chops also beat out pork steak that comes from the shoulder of the pig. Chops come from the loin area. Don’t mistake the pork steaks for pork chops. If you have a question on that, check with your butcher of the meat cutter at your favorite store.
