Lamb Loin Chop Sock Puppets

As I was going through this googlerific recipe for lamb loin chops I was thinking that the recipe seemed to cook the things for a really long time. I’ve only made lamb loin chops once or twice, but I know they’re pretty delicate.

And in fact, six minutes in a high-heat skillet and ten minutes in a 400 degree oven doesn’t really get that “medium-rare” temperature I was looking for. It was basically cooked to death.

All of which is well and good — recipes are sometimes solid, sometimes full of typos and wrong information. What gets me is that this is a four-fork triumph. I went through some of the comments and no one was like, “this is way too long to cook this cut of lamb.”

Time was, you could trust commenters with recipes — no, seriously! You’re just kind of like, What are you people thinking? On the other hand, this identically stupid Chowhound recipe does have a voice of reason (“Stratoblaster”) who calls out whoever the fuck posted how to destroy perfectly good lamb loin chops. So maybe Epicurious just really sucks.
