Cooked Porkchop

Cooked Porkchop (also called Grilled Pork), is a food item that was added in Indev. Cooked porkchops are obtained when a raw porkchop is cooked in a furnace, setting a pig on fire and killing it, or from killing zombie pigmen.

Cooked porkchops are often considered the easiest form of food to obtain since neither spelunking (to find mushrooms for mushroom stew (however, after 1.6 mushroom farming is possible, although it is very slow) nor extended amounts of time and attention (for growing wheat to make bread) are required to produce them. However, since they do not stack, porkchops have to be monitored when being cooked - each piece must be taken out and put into the furnace individually. As a result, seven is the maximum number of porkchops that can be cooked with one piece of coal because time is required to place and remove porkchops in the furnace.

Alternatively, burning pigs provides a slightly easier method to obtain cooked porkchops without the need to monitor a furnace. You can burn a pig by making it walk into lava, or by lighting the squares around it on fire with a flint and steel.

This is one of the foods wolves can eat along with raw porkchop. Wolves will sit and beg when you hold a porkchop in front of them.
