Cooking Tips
🥩 Pork
- Brine pork chops for 30 minutes in salt water to keep them juicy.
- Cook pork to 145°F (63°C) and rest for 3 minutes — no longer needs to be 160°F.
- Low-and-slow is the secret to tender pulled pork — 225°F for 8-10 hours.
Nutrition: Lean pork tenderloin has similar protein content to chicken breast with less fat.
Storage: Refrigerate up to 3-5 days for chops, 1-2 days for ground. Freeze for 4-6 months.
🌶️ Chili Peppers
- Remove seeds and ribs for less heat — that's where the capsaicin lives.
- Wear gloves when handling hot chilies to avoid burning your skin.
- Toast dried chilies in a dry pan for deeper, smokier flavor.
Nutrition: Extremely high in vitamin C. Capsaicin may boost metabolism and reduce pain.
Storage: Refrigerate fresh chilies for 1-2 weeks. Dry chilies last 1 year.
