Caribbean-Spiced Pork with Corn & Nectarine Salsa

This is a highly structured, well-seasoned recipe that uses excellent formatting and accurate techniques for a seamless cooking experience.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • Rephrase the corn timing to reference elapsed cooking time rather than remaining time, such as: 'After the pork has cooked for about 6–8 minutes, add the prepared corn to the grill.'

Issues

  • low / timing: Instructing the cook to add the corn during the pork's 'final 12 minutes' of a variable 16–22 minute cooking window requires them to guess when that window begins.

Strengths

  • Accurately calculates and applies precise salt percentages for the meat and produce.
  • Uses bulleted lists effectively to manage the multi-ingredient spice rub and salsa without cluttering the prose.
  • Smartly instructs the user to set up a two-zone grill, ensuring the sugar-based rub doesn't burn before the pork finishes cooking.
