Storage Instructions
Cooked pork can generally be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Transfer your pork chops and cream sauce into a sealed container and refrigerate within a couple of hours of cooking to help maintain its freshness. You can also store your pork chops and sauce in the freezer, just make sure to separate into portion sizes to avoid wastage, as once it’s defrosted it cannot be refrozen.
Reheating Instructions
Whatever reheating method you use, be sure to check the internal temperature of the meat before serving, and do not reheat more than once.
- To reheat on the stove: Slowly warm the creamy mushroom pork chops on a low heat to prevent the chops from becoming dry or losing moisture.
- To reheat in the microwave: Warm your pork chops in creamy mushroom sauce on a high heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through.
Tips and Tricks
- Pan searing is the key step in achieving a perfectly succulent pork chop. This will not only enhance the flavor of the pork, but also bring it out in a beautiful color. Though this stage isn’t going to cook the pork chops (they will finish slowly whilst simmering in the sauce), it is super important if you want to get that tender and flavorsome finish.
- Pork chops are one of those meats that doesn’t have a ton of wiggle room, you want to be sure to remove the chops from heat shortly after they reach 145 degrees F. If you overcook pork chops they will likely be quite tough.
