Order a pizza? Sorry hun dunno, I'm veggie. I would say though probably just cook it now and for a bit longer than you would have if it were defrosted thoroughly

anybvody ? quick ?

cook it at a slightly lower temperature at first then at normal temp and add a little time onto cooking. So long as the middle is piping (and I mean take your skin off hot) when you serve it - all should be ok.

that's what I do and I'm still here

I would defrost in the microwave and then cook as normal.
Libs is right though, as long as its piping hot in the middle any bacteria will be killed.
loved the 'and I mean take your skin off hot' libs

well it was just to distinguish it from "oo oo bit warm on the tongue" hot

they are technical cooking terms

I used to be chef and you're right, we used those terms daily!!!
