Whats the best way to defrost chopped meat?

Question

i need to put up dinner and forgot to take the meat out of the freezer now its solid frozen. how can i defrost it really quickly?

Answer 1

microwave's defrost function isn't terrybly good, even a good microwave always cooks the meat, even on low-power defrost-mode.

the best way is in the refridgerator, but if you don't have time

the best fast way is sealed in a bag, like a ziplock, with all the air out of it you can, submerged in icewater, if that isn't fast enough, you can do it in just cool water, but thats not as safe.

the idea is, you want either a cold defrost, or a defrost as devoid of air as possible, air & thawing meat tends to have more bacterial growth.

Answer 2

microwave
