Rapid defrosting of meat is not welcomed in cooking. But sometimes there is no choice and you have to resort to such measures as using a microwave or oven.

It is best to take the meat out in advance so that it can thaw in the refrigerator. In extreme cases, at room temperature or in cold water. But there are more cunning and simpler options.

How to defrost meat

Sometimes meat in the microwave becomes undercooked when defrosting.

And if you don’t trust the device, you can do the following.

Method one: vinegar

Remove the meat or chicken carcass from the bag and place it in a bowl.

Take table vinegar and pour it generously over the product.

After 10-20 minutes, all that remains is to thoroughly wash the defrosted meat in running water so that it does not smell of vinegar.

Now you can cook.

Method two: salt

Vinegar is not the healthiest product in the kitchen, and not everyone likes its smell.

In this case, you can defrost the meat using table salt.

Dissolve one tablespoon of salt in a bowl of cold water and immerse the meat in it.

After 5-10 minutes, all that remains is to wash off the remaining brine, and you can start cooking.
