I am quite partial to searing in a pan before cooking in the oven. I once saw Heston ... Here’s how I’d cook a 2cm thick pork chop or sirloin steak that has a decent 5mm or more of fat running ...
Joints, chops and steaks will keep for two to three ... that will cook and carve it at your home. Oven-baking is another method of cooking pork (to make raised pork pie, for instance).
Pork shoulder can be roasted ... and a blast of 30 minutes in a hot oven (220C/425F/Gas 7) should ensure a crisp crackling. Shoulder is also cut into steaks which can be roasted or braised.
