Can you cook pork chops from frozen?

Removing the bone from thawed pieces is possible. If cooking frozen pork chops you’ll have to leave as is. This skill can be handy though if you want boneless pork chops for certain recipes. Or if you prefer boneless cuts it’s great. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to remove the bone with a nice sharp knife on a cutting board yourself. Saves you money for sure if you do it yourself!

How to Remove Bone From Pork Chops

1. Place a clean cutting board on a stable surface, ensuring it won’t slip during the process. Make sure your cutting board is large enough to accommodate the size of the pork chops.
2. Take one bone-in pork chop and lay it flat on the cutting board. The bone should be facing upwards, and the meaty side should be facing down.
3. The bone in a pork chop is usually shaped like a “T.” The long part of the “T” extends through the center of the chop. The shorter part connects near the edge of the meat.
4. Using a sharp knife, carefully make a cut along the length of the bone, starting from the meaty side. Follow the contour of the bone while cutting. Make sure not to cut through to the other side of the meat.
5. Gently lift the meat on one side of the cut to expose the bone underneath. You should now have a flap of meat with the bone exposed.
6. Slide the knife under the exposed bone, gently separating the meat from it. As you cut, use a slight sawing motion to avoid tearing the meat.
7. Continue to cut and separate the meat from the bone until you reach the other end.
8. Once you’ve cut all the way around the bone, the piece should be free from the bone. At this point, you can lift the bone away from the meat and discard it.
9. If there is any excess fat or connective tissue, you can trim it off with the knife. Ensure the boneless piece is clean and ready for cooking.
10. If you have more that you want to remove the bone from, simply repeat the process for each one.
