I have a load of thick pork chops in the freezer, how long will they take to defrost and how do I cook them

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

they are not shop bought
my mate had pigs which he then slaughtered

I've never cooked a pork chop before

how do I do it?

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

I am so crap

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

I haven't looked at them yet
but I think they are monstrously thick

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

am I the only person in the world who is crap at cooking meat

[GoldenSnitch]

If you get them out now they may be defrosted for tomorrows dinner time..

Just grill/pan fry them for 15-20 minutes.

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

oh thsnkyou

but arern't they going to burm on the outside before they are done on the inside

[terrified of poisoning people and myself with not cooked meat]

can I oven cook them
wrapped in foil till near the end???

or somehting

[GoldenSnitch]

What sort of thing do you like? How about this?

[GoldenSnitch]

If they're really thick you could cook them on a lower heat for longer to stop them burning or even cut them in half to make them thinner?

Oven would work too

[TrinityHasAVampireRhino]

thankyou very much snitch

[GoldenSnitch]

Or www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/porkcurry_75667.shtml - you chop up the chops so it wouldn't matter how thick they are...

[GoldenSnitch]

No problem

Here's an oven baked pork chop recipe...

Another You flatten the chops in this one so it would work with your thick chops

[GoldenSnitch]

I'm finding all these here if you want to look for some more.

Just type in "Pork Chop" in the box where it says "BBC Food Recipe Search"

And if you find anything super tasty let me know

Hi Trinity,

I've got a couple of recipes for pork chops done in a slow cooker, if you fancy that?

[KnottyLocks]

Some here. Maybe worth a try - you can get on with other stuff then!

This delia recipe is a hit on our house (could easily be used for pork chops) and is v.v.easy - even I can cook it:
