cooking question for the domestic ladies out there...

I had frozen some pork chops and took them out yesterday and put them in the fridge to thaw. I planned on making them tonight, but we have an appointment and will just be going out to grab dinner now. Should I have FH throw them back in the freezer, cook them tonight when I get home and put away for tomorrow night, or just leave them in the fridge and cook them tomorrow- this is what i want to do, but am worried they will spoil.

In my cooking experience, leave them in the fridge (don't refreeze them!) and cook them no later than Thursday night.

Don't re-freeze them.

You can cook them tomorrow. Just leave them in the fridge.

Providing they were not originally on the verge when frozen.. they should be fine left in the fridge and cooked tomorrow night.
I wouldnt go any longer.

leave em in the fridge...or what i'd probably do, is take it out of the package, rinse it, season it, then put it in a zip lock bag and leave it in the fridge...that way, the seasonings get a couple of hours to penetrate the meat..

That's what I would do...

DO NOT RE-FREEZE them. You can leave them in the fridge for tomorrow without any problem.

Re: cooking question for the domestic ladies out there...

Re: cooking question for the domestic ladies out there...

i would recommend cooking them when you come home tonight and refrigerating them, that way you can re-heat them tomorrow or the next day - definitely don't re-freeze them!!!
