Defrosting in Microwave

Juni_3

If they're already seperated I always cook them from frozen. 30 minutes in a 180 degree oven.

Well, I might be doing it wrong, but I stick them in the microwave for a couple of mins on medium, see how they are doing and then do a couple more mins, etc. I think that if you begin to smell them they are cooking and need to come out!

You can always throw the lump of sausages in the oven, and after about 5-10 mins just open it and pull them all apart - did this when the old microwave blew up and children wanted sausages for tea one night!

I find the best way to defrost stuff is put it in a plastic bag and put it in a sink full of hot water for a while.

If they're in a bunch the ones on the outside will defrost sooner than the ones in the middle, so keep a close eye on them and remove the outside ones when they are defrosted and give the ones in the centre a little bit longer.

I seperate and freeze mine individually and then cook them straight from frozen.

I know it doesn't help now but it might in the future.

I cook (grill) sausages straight from frozen all the time - kids are still alive and kicking! Just keep turning them over!
Enjoy!

wow - all those replies in 30 minutes!!! thankyou all!!!

I've always been a bit wary of defrosting meat in the microwave, but I'll pop them in later for about 10 mins I think!

If they are all in a lump definitely don't try to separate them with a knife - that is like the number 1 casulty during the barbecue season apparently.

I also cook my sausages from frozen, didnt realise i wasnt meant to until a little while back, and i saw on the packet it said defrost before cooking!!!! :doh: But, as i had been cooking them that way for years, and we have never had any type of food poisoning, ive carried on cooking them that way!!!!
