what part of pork is the loin
Pork chops come thin or thick cut; bone-in or boneless; and from the sirloin or from the shoulder, rib, or center of the loin. In the test kitchen, we prefer bone-in rib and center-cut loin chops for sautÃ©ing or grilling; blade chops (cut from the shoulder) are fattier and better braised.
