Dad’s-turn-to-cook porkchops
When I was still working outside the home, I used to worry a lot about what my kids ate when I went on out-of-town conferences. I would be especially bothered if the trips extended to several days. After the first few times, I started to relax since there were no complaints from the kids. I was to learn later that their dad would buy lots of hotdogs, cold cuts and potato chips. Okay, so he had a limited repertoire of recipes. In fact, his specialty was cheese omelette.
Well, my husband sort of graduated last night–from cooking hotdogs and fried eggs and canned meat, that is. 
He cooked those gorgeous golden porkchops in the photo for dinner yesterday, complete with herbed potatoes in their jackets. He didn’t get any help either; he did it all by himself.

Do you guys know what to for the porkchop not to fold while frying?
There is a cooking gadget called a “press” or something. You use it to push the meat down into the pan so it retains its shape. We don’t use one though. So long as the temperature of the oil, or grill, is correct, the meat doesn’t curl.
i used to cook porkchops in butter after seasoning them with a liitle bit of salt and pepper…
butter tastes good with porkchops…u can try it…
I slit (cut a little) the meat in the outside roundness, enough to cut through the fat that envelope the chop. When you fry them, it does not fold or concave. It is the fat that holds the chop, and it does not melt upon frying, so it retains the shape, and when the heat reaches the meat, and the meat expands (the fat does not), it creates that concave/convex shape.
Wow, Ebba, thanks for that tip!
