thanks steve id hate to make her ill lol...my sister phoned me and i told her i was cooking and she said i should have defrosted it first,it will be cooked for at least 4 hours slowly so i guess it should be cooked thoroughly...i hope lol

I usually defrost mea first before I slow cook it, apart from frozen suasages, so I guess those are pork and I'm still alive

They'll probably be OK stoke - might just be a bit tough that's all

thanks everone...i knew i should have ordered a takeaway for later lol....

I would imagine it will be fine Stoke :o)
Just 'oik one out and cut it in half, check its not raw or frozen and that its hot to touch but if it's been in there that long I would think it's cooked.

Stoke.....take the pork out of the slow cooker and nuke em in the micro for a few mins if you're worried
