Proper defrosting of meat, as well as other products, means that it goes straight from the freezer to the refrigerator – for an average of 12 hours, after which it can be used to prepare a delicious lunch or dinner.

But sometimes you have to act outside the rules - especially in situations of extreme haste.

In this case, a regular grater will come to the rescue.

The meat must be placed inside the grater, and the resulting structure, in turn, must be placed on a pan of water.

All that remains is to turn on the heat and wait: hot steam will allow you to defrost meat much faster than at room temperature.
