Cooking

Put Raw Porkchop in a smoker, a furnace or a campfire and out comes Cooked Porkchop. The smoker is quickest at 5 seconds a piece, the campfire slowest at 30. Cooked Porkchop pays 0.35 experience each time, 22.4 for the whole 64. Raw Porkchop on its own is worth 3 hunger and 1.8 saturation; through the fire that becomes 8 and 12.8.

Mobs that drop it

Hoglin and Pig drop Cooked Porkchop only while burning, so it takes Fire Aspect or a fire underneath to get it straight from the mob.

Eating

Count 4.8 seconds to eat back a whole bar with Cooked Porkchop: 3 helpings at 1.6 seconds each. Every hunger point Cooked Porkchop gives back carries 1.6 saturation with it, which is what decides how long you stay full. That is 3 of 37 on saturation, between Cooked Beef at 12.8 and Rabbit Stew at 12.

Notes

Identical nutrition to Cooked Beef. Pigs are a common mob in most biomes.
