Proper defrosting is important for the taste of the future meat dish. In the article, we will talk about the basic rules for defrosting.
How to defrost meat
The best and safest way is to defrost the meat in ice water, because it stays cold, does not lose its freshness and defrosts at the same time.
If the piece of meat is large enough and you have enough time, it is best to defrost it in the refrigerator.
Remember also that when properly defrosted, the meat should not release a lot of moisture or smell bad.
Leave it either in its original packaging, or in a plate, on the bottom of which it is worth laying a paper towel. Do not defrost meat in a bag, as it can "suffocate".
The defrosting time depends on the size of the piece. For example, portioned pieces will defrost in 6-8 hours. Large pieces weighing 1.5-2 kg will be defrosted for a day.
Thus, defrosting will be quick, correct, and most importantly, safe for your health.
