For best results you should thaw all frozen meats before cooking them.
Yes, but you will need to dry them REALLY well before cooking.
Yes, because one pound is equal to 16oz.
yes. if you cook them freezing then ur gonna have some messed up scallops...if had scallops before and their good but my dad (stepfather, can't believe i said that!) cooked them before freezing so...yeah do that!...and yes cook them BEFORE frozen.
As old as you want! But they may be a choking hazard for infants
Scallops
No.
Boil what?
It is not a good idea to begin cooking it while it is frozen. The fish will be overcooked on the outside and possibly still frozen or raw inside. Place the frozen fish in a sealed plastic bag. Place the bag in tap water. It will expedite the defrosting process.
what do i need to do with a new smoker before cooking on it?
Why would you freeze them? You can peel potatoes and put them in cold water in the refrigerator until you need them.
If you do not thaw it, the outer portion will be overcooked and burnt and the inside will still be raw. You need the meat to be close to room temperature when starting to cook to result in a throughly cooked meat that is not dried out and over cooked.
Because it is necessary to gather everything that is need before you begin cooking. the french have a name for it Mis en Place
