Defrosting pork chops in microwave

[popsycal]

Never use microwavce to defrost meat - ever.

Pork is nearly defrosted but not quite and I want to stick it in some marinade for the rest of the afternoon.....

1. can i finish the defrosting process in the microwave
2. how?
3. should i just leave them in the fridge for a few more hours....?

hi popsycal!

if i were you i would leave them out at room temp for a couple of hours and i bet that would do the trick then you still have time for the marinade before tea!

i just love postings like this (am i sad?)

i thought about that - is it ok to leave them out at room temp? i am very careful with meat....esp being preg..

(I love postings like this too!!lol)

how about putting them in the marinade to finish defrosting in the fridge?

FWIW I agree with NP, let them finish off on the side. I did/do this all the time even when PG.

my mum defrosts her pork sausages in the micro, is that the same thing? doesnt take long. but i would still leave them out at room temp, its ok as long as they are covered. when are you due? didnt know you were pg!

due 3rd march.....but will probably be induced mid feb at the latest if i am lucky

congratulations! you can be well and truly spoilt this christmas and new year (i hope)
