Cooking Know-How
The Canadian Pork Council recommends 160°F for an internal temperature on pork. A meat thermometer is a great investment. They are reasonably priced and there is no second guessing if the meat is done.
How to Turn Meat on the Barbecue
Use a spatula or tongs to turn meat on the barbecue. Never poke the meat with a fork! It causes juices and flavour to escape when can result in dried-out meat.
Keeping It Safe
When removing pork chops from the barbecue, always place them on a clean plate. This ensures that bacteria from the uncooked chops will not contaminate the cooked meat.
