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.
