Grandma's Secret Tips!

Grandma's Secret Tips!

Grandma cooked thicker cuts of pork with a lid on the skillet, but if the pork cutlets were thin enough, she sometimes cooked them without covering the skillet. This method of cooking made the pork wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
