How Long Should You Fry Pork For?
It depends on the thickness of the pork and the cooking method used. Generally, thin pork cutlets or slices can be pan-fried in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Thicker cuts of pork such as pork chops or loins may require longer cooking times, anywhere from 6-12 minutes per side depending on the thickness, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. It’s important to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is fully cooked without being overcooked and dry.
