How to thaw frozen meat?

Frozen meat

To thaw frozen meat, I believe the best method is by refrigeration. It is one of the best and safest way to thaw frozen meat. What you should do is:

- when you plan to cook around 24 hours before that remove the frozen meat from the freezer and place it in a refrigerator.

- One can actually use his own judgment depending upon the quantity of the meat..

- Allow ample of time for the frozen meat to thaw and become partially defrosted.

- Remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 2 to 4 hours before you plan to cook.

- Allow the meat to come to room temperature and then start cooking it.

Other than refrigeration, the otehr way of thawing is by using a microwave oven. To thaw the frozen meat in a microwave, use the instructions set by the microwave by specifically mentioning the quantity of the meat. When the microwave reminds you, do turn over the meat.

Few things that one should remember while thawing frozen meat using a microwave is to take care as sometimes while thawing few portions of the frozen meat may get partially cooked. Additionally one should always thaw the frozen meat immediately after removing it from the freezer, thus avoiding the meat to get contaminated.
