For furnace cooked porkchops: 5 small pork chops 1/4 cup kosher salt 1 can frozen apple juice concentrate Water
For Diamond crusted potatoes: 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup salt 4 potatoes Butter, to serve
Craft Your Own Seasoning: 1/4 cup herbs and spices of your choice (I use a no salt ranch blend) 1/4 cup olive oil
To prep porkchops. Using a small knife, cut small incisions in the fat side of the pork. This ensures it won’t curl up during cooking. In a large sealable container, combine salt, 1 can of frozen apple juice concentrate and enough water to make four cups. Stir or shake until salt and frozen juice is dissolved. Add prepped porkchops and allow to brine in the fridge for at least an hour, no more than two.
To prep potatoes: Poke about six holes in potatoes to allow steam to escape. In a large bowl, stir salt and water until dissolved. Dip potatoes in the salty brine and turn a few times until covered. Allow excess to drip off and place on a dry plate for at least an hour. After an hour potatoes should have faint speckles of salt crusted on the outside.
For seasoning: Mix together seasonings and olive oil in a small bowl. Set aside until needed. Once potatoes are done brining, cook in a microwave for 8-9 minutes or until they barely yield to a knife. Remove porkchops from fridge and drain. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush potatoes and then porkchops with reserved seasoning. Start a charcoal fire in a small grill and allow coals to become white hot. Brush grates with paper towel dipped in oil.
Cook pork chops over this fire for 5-8 mins per side or until juices run clear. Place in a small tin over low heat when cooked to stay warm. Cook your potatoes on the grill for a few minutes each side or until they get slightly charred. Place potatoes in the same tin as your porkchops.
To serve: slice potatoes down the middle and serve with butter along with cooked pork chops.

This video provides a Minecraft-themed guide to preparing juicy pork chops and seasoned potatoes. The process emphasizes the importance of brining both the meat and vegetables to enhance flavor and texture, followed by a custom oil-based rub and grilling over hot coals for a charred, savory finish.
Hey miners, go hunt some piggies,
we're making pork chops. Minecraft style.
You know, cooked on a furnace.
First, get some pork chops.
Nothing too thick, I like them thin and cheap.
Now take your knife and slice through the fat a little.
This ensures that they won't curl up once they hit the heat.
Now let's make a brine to soak them in so they'll be super tasty.
In a large container or bowl,
place one of those frozen apple juice containers.
You get them in the freezer section.
Brines don't work unless they're cold you know.
Add a quarter cup of kosher salt and enough water to make four cups,
or one quart if you prefer.
Now, lift it up and shake it until your salt dissolves.
Now it's ready for our prepped pork.
Dunk them in the solution and allow them to soak for at least one hour.
Two is fine, but don't go more than that. They'll get too salty.
Now, grab some potatoes. We're going to brine those too.
But first, pretend they're creepers and puncture them full of holes.
At least six stabs with your fork.
In a large bowl, stir together salt
and a little bit of water.
Now dunk your taters in one at a time
and make sure they're good and soaked.
Let them drain excess liquid
and then place them on a clean plate to brine for about an hour.
In the meantime, let's make a tasty rub.
Get a quarter cup of seasonings.
Use whatever you like, just nothing with salt in it.
Me, I'm using this no salt ranch mix, but anything works.
Add a quarter cup of canola oil and stir.
Set it aside.
Alright, after an hour, your potatoes should look like this.
Caked with salt.
Heck, they're sparkling better than a diamond mine.
Personally, I'd take these spuds over any
precious mineral, but that's just me.
Put your potatoes in a bowl and nuke them for 8-9 minutes
or until a knife barely pierces them.
Alright, drain your pork chops too.
Make sure to dry them completely with paper towels.
Wet meat does not brine too well.
Now place your meat and potatoes on a cooling rack.
Now brush on your rub. Start with the potatoes
because raw potatoes don't have germs that will
make you sick. Really brush it on thick.
Oh, and you're going to want to start your favorite
furnace or grill.
You're going to need more than one piece of coal I'm afraid. Real life
cooking is nowhere near as efficient as Minecraft.
Not yet anyway. Once your coals are white hot,
place a disposable aluminum pan on your grill.
Then slap on your meat. Depending on how hot your
coals are, you'll be able to cook these babies three
to eight minutes per side. Once they start
to get a little char on them, give them a flip.
Dang boy! Turn them and cook them on the other
side until the juices run clear.
Now place your chops in the prepared pan and put your potatoes
where the pork was now these potatoes are already cooked
but that doesn't mean we can't impart some
tasty grill flavor a few minutes each side now put all
your food in the tray and take it to some
hungry miners that are likely waiting for you
to plate add a little bit of butter to your baked
potatoes and serve next to a stack of juicy pork chops
this is one meal totally worth crafting
get it because it's minecraft did you get it
