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.
🍝 Pasta
- Salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- Save a cup of pasta water before draining to thicken your sauce.
- Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says for perfect al dente.
Nutrition: Good source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins. Whole wheat adds fiber.
Storage: Dry pasta lasts 1-2 years. Cooked pasta keeps 3-5 days refrigerated.
