Q: My pork chops always come out dry. What am I doing wrong?

A: The problem is most likely the pork, not you. Years ago, some hungry marketer decided pork should be "the other white meat" and growers began to breed pigs to be like chicken. But that strips the pork of the marbling that provides moisture, flavor and tenderness. Thankfully, growers are again raising pleasingly plump pigs. For succulent chops and ribs, ask your butcher for Berkshire, Duroc, Gloucestershire Old Spot, Large Black, Tamworth or Red Wattle breeds, or get them at heritagefoodsusa.com.
