What is the best cut of pork chop for frying?
Chef's answer
For pan-frying, bone-in pork chops are best because the bone helps the chop retain moisture and also imparts flavor to the meat. Pan-frying uses high, direct heat to cook. It's easy to overcook (or undercook) your pork chops if they're not the right thickness.

Why Do Sausages Split? Sausages split because pressure builds up on the inside as they cook (typically from vapor produced by the heat, but also from the expansion of the foody goodness inside). As the pressure increases, so does the stress in the casing of the sausage (the skin).
