Pork Chops

Can i cool pork chops from frozen and if so how xx thanks

Cooking (rather than 'cooling'!) pork chops from frozen isn't a good idea. With fast cooking techniques (such as grilling) the middle of the chops would remain uncooked. With slower cooking techniques (such as casseroling) the chops would eventually cook all the way through but they'd be at the 'danger temperatures' (where bacteria can thrive) for longer than is desirable.

Simply defrost the chops in a microwave oven and then cook from chilled.

I have grilled slowly from frozen, tough as boots.
Defrost first.

defrost them first much better, you can use the micro wave if you have too

To help speed up defrosting I put mine in a casserole of cold water.
