pan frying frozen pork chops?!


Question: Pan frying frozen pork chops?
Okay, I got 4 slices of frozen pork chops (1 inch thick i think) and threw them in the frying pan for 30 minutes max heat and flipping them every 5 minutes. After 30 minutes I cut open the pork to see whether it is cooked and it was perfect white. Whilst eating them I discovered some pink tints on the meat.

Have I cooked the meat properly? Have I contracted worms? :O Please reply asap, this was the first time I cooked pork chops.

I would defrost them by standing them in water or on a defrost cycle of the microwave!
I would not think that you would get a tape worm ,
I live in France we have had pin worms not sure of the sauce but if you are worried it is a cheap course of tablets over the pharmacy counter!

Best to have peace of mind and cook defrosted food and all the way, a tip for cooking a pork roast is to have the meat on a rack with water in the roast dish , the crackling crackles and the meat does not dry out, use a sharp knife and wait until the juices run clear!



well theirs nothing wrong with eating pork chops medium or pink inside like it used too be so ul be ok. although many people here will probably tell you its bad for you its not anymore since the process for butchering pork has changed so it does not include any of the bad bacteria as it used too so pork eaten pink is no worse than a steak eaten pink....


but you should never cook any meat from frozen aside from maybe ground meat but pork and beef like steaks and chops and ribs will never cook evenly and if you do break the rules and cook frozen meat in a sauté pan then put it in the oven for 10- 15 minutes afterwords to ensure through cooking

I'm not certain about pork chops, but I know that when I cook chicken straight from the freezer, it tends to retain a pinkish hue even when it is fully cooked. Dunno why.

Next time use a meat thermometer and aim for an internal temp of 145. :)



no you won't get worms today's pork is not like it was years ago .The hogs are treated with antibiotic's.
