Here in these United States, lamb is relatively pricey. But when the craving for baby sheep meat hits, we’re more than willing to throw down a few extra dollars. Here is what we are not willing to do: put up with unevenly cooked chops. Traditional techniques often call for a hot-and-fast approach to lamb. A quick grill or broil will get you a perfect crusty char on the outside, but you may end up with unevenly cooked or overdone meat on the inside. Who wants that? Instead, cook your chops precisely with Joule—selecting the exact doneness you want ahead of time. Searing the chops both before and after you cook helps ensure you develop plenty of flavor and an amazing crispy crust while maintaining that perfect-edge-to-edge interior. So go forth and treat yourself to some chops. When you know it’s gonna be perfect, lamb is well worth the splurge.
