Freezing is suitable not only for food products, but also for prepared meals.
But in both cases, proper defrosting is important.
First, let's talk about what to do with frozen food. The best thing you can do is to put the contents of the freezer in a plate and put it on a shelf in the refrigerator to thaw.
However, it is not recommended to use the defrosting methods described below.
1. Using hot water
Under the influence of water, at a temperature close to boiling water, it will be possible to remove the ice from the top layer, while the food in the middle will remain frozen, which will spoil the taste of the entire dish.
2. Leave at room temperature
Although this method is popular, you are exposing your food to the risk of contamination with harmful bacteria, which is also not good.
3. Using a microwave oven
You can use a microwave as an assistant, but not when it comes to fish or seafood - the protein in their composition will immediately curdle, lose density, taste and nutritional value.
4. Boiling water
You shouldn't throw raw meat and fish straight from the freezer into a pot of boiling water - such a stressful "procedure" leads to the fact that there is no benefit left in the products, and the resulting cloudy and unrich broth will leave much to be desired.
