How long do I cook frozen pork chops in the oven?
Chef's answer
Place the frozen pork chops in a single layer in a baking pan. Pour any additional ingredients over the chops before putting them in the oven. Bake 50 percent longer than the time stated in the recipe, or approximately 50 to 55 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches at least 145 degrees..

The answer to this is similar to raw beef: yes and no. Whole cuts of lamb are safe to eat rare as long as you sear the surface. This is because, like beef, bacterial contamination (such as E. coli) is usually only present on the outside.

Gently turn the chops on to their sides, to cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden, but still pink in the middle. Meanwhile, use a speed-peeler to peel strips of zest from 1 orange. Sprinkle them into the pan with the thyme sprigs, and toss it all together for just 30 seconds to get the flavours going..
