This was ok. Nothing special.

This is easy and relatively good. The time given is too long so use a temperature probe.

I too used boneless chops. The oranges complemented the pork very well!

I used boneless pork chops and pineapple rings. I discovered that cookiing time and temperature are excessive. I made a sauce with the pineapple juice and cornstarch and served all over rice.
