Paprika Pork with Charred Corn

A highly functional, well-structured, and appealing summer grilling recipe. The concurrent tasks are laid out beautifully, the formatting is excellent, and the ingredient quantities match perfectly across the steps.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • Increase the kosher salt used on the pork in Step 2 to 1 teaspoon to hit the recommended 1.25% salinity mark.
  • Adjust the total kosher salt in the ingredient list to 1 1/2 teaspoons to reflect the change.

Issues

  • low / flavor: Using 3/4 teaspoon of kosher salt for 1 pound of boneless pork falls slightly below the 1.25% by weight starting point (particularly if using a lighter kosher salt like Diamond Crystal), which may leave the meat slightly underseasoned.

Strengths

  • Perfectly accounts for all ingredient quantities across the steps with accurate math.
  • Correctly formats bullet lists for the marinade and dressing, separating them cleanly with blank lines.
  • Smartly includes a direction to scrape excess honey-based marinade off the pork before grilling to prevent scorching.
  • Follows USDA safe cooking temperatures for pork (145°F) and includes the necessary resting time.
