Can you half cook pork then finish later?
Chef's answer
Never brown or partially cook pork, then refrigerate and finish cooking later, because any bacteria present wouldn't have been destroyed. It is safe to partially pre-cook or microwave pork before immediately transferring it to the hot grill to finish cooking.

Cooking it part way is a really good way to run the risk of making people sick. It is best to fully cook and then re-heat slowly to preserve the tenderness and juices. Also by cooking ahead you can actually cook it up to a week ahead so there is no time conflict what so ever.
