Instructions
- Turn on the electric skillet to high heat (400°F). This is optional, but I like to brush 1 tablespoon of cooking oil onto the skillet prior to frying.

- In a small bowl, stir cornstarch and water until well blended; pour into sauce in the electrical skillet. Stir. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened.1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water

Notes
- Storage: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Pork chop selection: For this recipe, I like to use rib chop (contains the curved rib bone) or the loin chop (also called a center-cut loin chop and has a t-shaped bone).
- Temperature: If the liquid seems to be boiling instead of simmering gently, turn it down. I find that larger electric skillets (16") tend to simmer harder, causing the liquid to evaporate quicker.
