An experiment gone...

RIGHT! In my opinion.

Creamed Pork Chops and Rice

This fall for my birthday I purchased a copper chef set of pans at Sam's Club but they also available at http://www.copperchef.com/. I haven't taken much time to experiment with them. So tonight I made rice and pork chops with cream of soup.

Oven ready

The instructions said to warm the pan on medium for 3 minutes. Then the pan will be warm enough to sear the chops. I seasoned them with Lawry's seasoning salt.

My package of pork chops had 5 in it. I set them in the bottom in a pinwheel form.

Then I put 1 cup of raw brown rice in the pan.

Because this is long cooking rice with other food. I added just under 3 cups of water.

Then I added garlic and herb salt. I topped it with cream of mushroom soup, covered the pan and put it in a preheated  (350 degree) oven.

I heated the water to a boil

Out of the oven the rice was starting to get a bit crusty. But despite that it scooped out quickly and easily.  I would tell you how long that it took to cook but I had a bit of an oven issue.

Fresh out of the oven!
