Defrosting?!
what happens if you cook meat straight away with out defrosting it!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
This depends on the type of meat and its preparation and its thickness!. If you are going to cook meat straight from being frozen, you need to cook it at a low enough temperature to start off with to make sure you do not overcook the outside!. Ground meat products are fairly easy to cook from frozen, just keep it on medium heat, and constantly keep scraping off the cooked outside, exposing the uncooked part to the heat!. I do not recommend cooking steaks from frozen though, you will not be pleased with the result, even if you wanted it rare!. Poultry & pork products need to cook long enough to be hot enough!. The U!.S!. Government states that pork should be 160 degree F!. to be considered 'done', and chicken to be 180 degrees!. Keep in mind that these are internal temps, not the outside of the meat temps :) Above all, only cook from frozen if you have too, and when you defrost, please defrost completely in the refrigerator :) Be safe :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
depends on how you are cooking it!. If you are slow cooking it like in a crockpot or in the oven it should be alright!.!.!.but if you are pan cooking or grilling it you'll end up with a piece of meat thats VERY done on the outside and either still pretty frozen on the inside or still raw!. If its got a sheet of ice around the meat and you cook the mean with a lid instead of getting a good crust/browning on the outside you'll steam the meat and it won't be juicy at all!.
Soo i'd probably take the time to defrost it!. It doesn't have to be completely defrosted but get it like half way defrosted then cook itWww@FoodAQ@Com

that depends on the dish and the meat!.
with frying, for instance, it is not very advisable!. with the core temperature so different from the surface, you'll end up with raw insides!.
with soup or stew that simmers for hours, you can get away with it!. I doubt if it will taste as good, but if you're concerned with time more than taste, then go ahead!.
then again, there are food that are cooked or made that way!. like chicken nuggets!. they are prepared in such a way that you have to deep fry them frozen otherwise, they won't turn out as good!. with these kind, the temperature difference has been taken into consideration and has been used to the food's advantage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sanitary wise - Its not a good idea because you may under cook the interior which will let the foodborne bacteria grow very rapidly!.
If it is cooked to a well done, your meat may end up dry and burned!. It will take longer granted you are bringing it to a certain temperature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The outside will cook much faster than the outside if it's something like an eye roast, possibly char before the inside is done!. If it's something like a 1" steak or a burger though, go for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Depends on how you cook it and the cut of meat but but the one thing you can count on, is well done outside and raw or very rare in the middle!. (not including ground meats)Www@FoodAQ@Com
You have to cook it a little longer so the inside gets done enough!. Works well with things like sausages, premade patties, pork chops!. Any thing that is more or less the same thickness all over!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Depends on which type of meat!. Hamburger, fine, stir fry strips, fine!. steak - takes forever and makes it tougher!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It could end up more dried out because you have to cook it longer total!. Chicken is usually ok, but I've never done it with beef!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it cooks and you get to eat it
it just takes longer to cook and may not cook evenlyWww@FoodAQ@Com
