It turned out just fine. I don't know if I would use the mayonnaise again or not as the agent to stick the bread crumbs onto the meat. I could still taste the mayonnaise after cooking. Not everybody would though. I would certainly use it in a pinch or if in a great hurry. It turned out better than I thought it might, the topping stuck to the meat and crispened on both sides, even though I didn't turn the meat. The chop did not stick to the pan, which I did butter ahead of time, the pan was easy enough to wash, and the meat was cooked through. I cooked it for 30 minutes at 350 degrees using the convection setting on the talking toaster oven. The chop was a thick center cut boneless chop, at least 3/4 inch thick. It was cooked in the center. When you use the talking thermometer, put it in the meat at an angle to get the most accurate reading. You don't want the tip to exit to the bottom of the pan, nor to rest on top of the meat, or to touch bones. If you don't get enough of the tip into the meat, your temperature will register too low. And as for the pan, I save pie tins when they come without air holes in the bottoms, and if I run low I purchase a stack of them from the grocery store. I butter or oil the bottom of the pie tin and just go for it. It saves the trouble of lining with foil, and the foil doesn't stick to the food that way either. If my food sticks to the pie tin I don't feel too bad about throwing it away. When I cook pizza, I put parchment paper on the pizza pan before I put my crust on the pan. If the crust is made from scratch I either oil the pan very well, or oil the parchment paper before putting the homemade dough on it. It saves a lot of cleanup. If it is a pan pizza where you want the oil to work itself into the crust then you just generously oil the pan as I said and leave out the parchment paper..
