Incorrect defrosting of meat can lead to a deterioration in the taste of the dish. And sometimes - to the fact that the product will spoil.
Frozen meat should never be left on the countertop. This can cause dangerous microorganisms to multiply.
If the cook has removed the meat product from the refrigerator, then a deep plate or bowl of cold water must be prepared.
If the meat is in this container, then defrosting will not be carried out at room temperature. As a result, nothing terrible will happen to the product.
Another safe way to defrost meat is to use the defrosting function on your microwave oven.
However, using cold water or a microwave are not the best options for defrosting food.
How to Defrost Meat Properly
It is advisable to leave the plate with the product removed from the freezer on one of the shelves of the refrigerator.
In this case, the meat will defrost gradually, preserving all its taste and useful properties. The product will definitely not spoil.
As a result of boiling or frying, meat defrosted in the refrigerator will turn out soft, juicy and tender.
The only drawback of the above method is its considerable duration. Complete defrosting of the meat will take at least several hours, or even a whole day.
However, it is worth it to get an incredibly tasty dish, the consumption of which will be completely safe.
