Love a good pork chop, two inch thick ones cooked sous vide.

Top tip - trying to separate two frozen pork chops with a large kitchen knife can result in a trip to A&E...

It is indeed dangerous trying to separate frozen things with sharp knives I snapped the point off one of my big chef knives.
Anyway..back to the chops...what's a good way to cook them? I've always ended up with the meat too dry. Plus I need a recipe to cook just one.

Pork is great sous vide, 2 hours for a thick chop at 60c. Then cool a bit and sear.

They benefit from a wet salt/sugar brine for extra juicyness. 7% salt 3% sugar for 2 hours will do the trick. For a thin chop 1 hour

I liked the ones with the kidney in but you don’t see them anymore.

Oh, yeah. I've seen that before (at work). His cut didn't really bleed much but you could see plenty of hand meat. Surreal.

I wouldn't suggest this, necessarily, but a butter knife doesn't cause much worse than flying chops that likely will hit the floor. Also, a BAC less than whatever legal driving is, is recommended.
I've only had success with searing pork medallions and then in the crock pot with stuff.

Update on the chops, total disaster there no pics unless you want them of the waste bin, numpty here had it on the wrong setting would have been better trying to eat a welke or a tyre

My dad ended up getting a dedicated "kitchen screwdriver" for my mum to use for splitting frozen meat! Screwdriver + wooden hammer is far safer than a knife.

One of my favourite weekday recipes is Jamie Oliver's pork chops with pears, parsnip and spuds - marinade the chops in herby/garlicy goodness for a few hours or overnight, then bung in the oven for 45-60 minutes with pears/veg. Really simple and easy, the pears make it a bit lighter than it would be with just root veg.
