Because the shoulder chop contains a lot of different muscles and connective tissue, it is best cooked using a slow cook method, such as [[braising]]. Rib chops are best suited for fast, dry cooking, so if you're lookin' to [[grill]], this is the cut for you. Because the pig has naturally dry meat, it is common to let all cuts sit in a [[brine]]. This helps them retain a lot of their moisture when cooking. A common favorite preparation for many involves the pork chop being topped, stuffed, or rolled with [[fruits]] and [[onions]]. | Because the shoulder chop contains a lot of different muscles and connective tissue, it is best cooked using a slow cook method, such as [[braising]].
