Is it safe to cook frozen meats?

yes you can, providing you put it in the fridge, so bacteria dose not get to it.Do not defrost frozen meat and poultry products at room temperature. Keeping the products cold during defrosting is the key to preventing bacteria from growing.Always cook fresh meat and poultry products immediately after microwave defrosting. During microwave defrosting, random areas will sometimes begin to cook, creating temperatures easily high enough for harmful bacteria to thrive. To defrost meat or poultry products in cold water, do not remove original packaging. Be sure the package is airtight or put it into a leak-proof bag before submerging the product completely in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes so that it continues to defrost. Note: Foods defrosted in the microwave or by the cold-water method should be cooked before refreezing because they may have been held at temperatures higher than 40 F. Wash all utensils, cutting surfaces and counters with hot, soapy water after contact with meat and poultry. If possible, use a separate cutting board for fresh meat and poultry products. Wash hands thoroughly in hot, soapy water before and after handling meat and other fresh foods. Keep fresh meat and meat juices away from other foods, both in the refrigerator and during preparation. Never place cooked foods on the same platter, board or tray that held fresh meats or poultry.
