  1. Adam, regarding that chop that "buckled a bit". There is likely a band of gristle or tendon around the meat. As the meat cooks that shrinks and cause it to "buckle". If you slice straight through that gristle or tendon it won't buckle on you as it cooks. Slice from the out side towards the center of the loin, just enough to sever the tendon or gristle. That will keep that inedible part from shrinking and constricting the tasty part. This method works with pork, beef, lamb, mutton and just about any red blooded mammal.
    Good advise on the pan sauce. That goes wonderful on some mash or bread if you prefer (i.e. you're French).

  2. Try cutting the fat before you cook the chops. They curl because the fat contracts more than the meat but if the fat isn't one long length anymore then you don't get the curl!
