Cooking Tip

Pork Chops

Pork chops for grilling, braising and stuffing should be thicker cuts (1 to 1-1/2 inches thick). Ask your butcher if they aren’t readily available in the meat showcase.

Cooking Tip

Selecting Meat Products

Always visit the meat counter last when shopping to insure the meat stays cold. Raw meats should not be placed into bags with other groceries to avoid contamination.
