Question

When baking pork chops, where should they be placed in the oven?

Community Answer

Cook in the middle rack as the top rack is for broiling and the bottom rack is for longer cooking or melting.

On which rack should I cook the pork chops?

Community Answer

Cook them on the center rack. The top rack is for broiling and the bottom rack is for low cooking.

Question

I have only two racks in my oven. Which rack should I use?

The middle rack, as it distributes the heat evenly for breads, cookies, meat, veggies, etc. Use the lower rack setting when baking homemade pizzas for crunchier crust and to make sure toppings and cheese are done and melted properly.

Question

Should I cover pork chops with sauce when baking them in the oven?

First sear them with seasoning salt and garlic powder in a skillet. Then place the seared pork chops in a baking pan, pour a can of cream of mushroom soup over them, and bake uncovered at 375°F for 30 minutes. Let them stand for 10 minutes before serving.
