What's a pig got to do with it?

Hello Friends,

Thanks for checking out our Bonksmarket.com blog! We hope that you have enjoyed using the website to its full capabilities.

I’d like to talk to you all today about a few different types of pork. I know some people that are a little bit intimidated by pork just because it never seems to come out just right. It’s either not cooked all the way through, or it’s overcooked and dried out. I’d like to give you just a few tips that I use when I’m cooking pork.

The first thing you have to consider when thinking about cooking pork is what type of cooking method you need to use. For example, something that comes from the pork loin, such as a center cut boneless pork chop, can be cooked in just minutes on the grill. However, something like a bone-in country style spare rib needs to be cooked a little bit longer and preferably in some sort of liquid.

That’s where we come in. When you’re in the mood for pork but don’t know just exactly what to buy, talk it over with us. Tell us how you plan on cooking your pork. We will tell you if the method you are using is appropriate for the piece of pork you are buying.

Another thing that you need to consider when buying a piece of pork is what piece of pork is going to have the best flavor for you. Some pieces of pork can taste much different than others. Much like the difference between white and dark meat chicken, these different flavors of pork may throw you for a loop if you aren’t exactly sure what you’re getting. Meat from the pork loin, for example, is typically lighter in color and much softer tasting. This is the type of meat you would get when ordering pork chops or a pork loin roast.

The last thing that you need to consider is….why aren’t you cooking pork more often? Pork is relatively inexpensive, it can be quite lean in some cuts, and it is so versatile in the different dishes that can be prepared with it. I hope that this short blurb has given you a bit of confidence. Preparing food can be a difficult task, and what I have found out is that the best way to learn more about it is to ask others!

So, please, come and ask us. We would love to help!
