Nowadays, every household has a refrigerator that stores a lot of food. The refrigerator is divided into a cold room and a freezer room, where the freezer keeps the ingredients longer than the cold room. Generally, we will freeze the meat that we can’t finish buying, which is a storage method that can preserve quality and freshness.
When eating, you only need to thaw in advance and cook it the way you like. But the problem is that if the thawing is not good, it may affect the taste of the meat. Summer is fine, if the room temperature is low in winter, waiting for the frozen meat to thaw naturally takes a certain amount of time, and may not meet the desire to eat meat at any time.
Some people like to leave frozen meat at room temperature and wait until it thaws naturally before eating. There are also artificial thawing speeds, and frozen meat will be soaked in warm water. However, if you thaw with warm water, there is also a problem, that is, the outside is thawed, and the inside is still frozen. The following shares a little trick to help you solve this problem.
Always have two things at home, frozen meat eats the feeling of fresh meat
Thawing steps:
- Prepare a basin of cold water and remove the meat to be thawed from the refrigerator.
- Put the frozen meat in clean water, taking care to submerge the meat completely.
3. Adding an appropriate amount of salt to it is the same reason that sprinkling salt on the road on a snowy day can accelerate the de-freezing, and salt can reduce the freezing point of the ice cubes in the frozen meat, greatly shortening the thawing time.
4. Add an appropriate amount of white vinegar to it, which can effectively remove the fishy smell of frozen meat and allow you to easily eat frozen meat that tastes like fresh meat.
5. Then stir the above mixture well, let it dissolve well, and soak the frozen meat in it well. It doesn’t take long, it only takes five minutes.
6. At this time, the frozen meat has almost thawed, but there may still be a mixture of ice cubes in the middle, and it needs to continue to thaw.
7. Take out the above thawed meat and cut it into pieces, at this time the meat is still in a state of incomplete freezing and incomplete thawing, which is very good cutting. If you need to cut the meat, you can choose to do so. At this time, the texture of the cut meat slices is very good, and the thickness can be controlled very evenly.
8. If the above cut meat needs to continue to thaw, you can put it in a bowl, add an appropriate amount of water, wash it, and the washing process can also accelerate the thawing process of the remaining ice cubes in the meat slices. In this way, a piece of frozen meat can be easily thawed, saving time and effort. The whole process takes only about ten minutes, if you want to defrost quickly, you may wish to choose this method.
Notes :
1. When freezing meat, it is best to cut and divide it, one is easy to preserve, the other is how much to eat and how much to thaw, will not be repeatedly thawed, affecting the taste.
2. Pay attention to the fact that when adding water, it must be cold water, and hot water will thaw unevenly.
3. The addition of salt can greatly shorten the thawing time, while the addition of white vinegar can remove the fishy smell of frozen meat to a certain extent and ensure the taste.
4. If the operation is correct, the thawed meat and the freshly purchased meat taste not much different.
The above is a quick way to thaw meat
