When frozen food is in urgent need of consumption, it can be thawed with running water. Because the heat transfer performance of water is better than that of air, the thawing time can be shortened. However, it should be noted that frozen food should not be in direct contact with water and should be packaged with sealed packaging.
Quick thawing method
What if you forget to take out the food you want to eat from the refrigerator in advance?
Water thawing method
When frozen food is in urgent need of consumption, it can be thawed with running water. Because the heat transfer performance of water is better than that of air, the thawing time can be shortened. However, it should be noted that frozen food should not be in direct contact with water and should be provided with sealed packaging, such as sealed box and sealed food bag, otherwise the nutrients of food will be washed away by running water, making the food taste worse.
Note: frozen raw food should not be thawed completely. It can be cooked when it can be cut with a knife. It cannot be thawed too much. For example, if meat, fish and other foods are thawed completely, a large amount of blood will flow out.
Air thawing method
(1) Take out the frozen food from the freezer and put it into the refrigerator. It is usually taken out at night and eaten the next morning.
(2) Take the frozen food out of the freezer and thaw it in the indoor air. It must be noted that food cannot be placed in the air for a long time, otherwise it is easy to cause food corruption and deterioration.
Heating thawing method
Heating thawing method can be used for thawing cooked products after cooking and freezing. However, when thawing, you must pay attention to adding a small amount of water and heating it slowly with a small fire to prevent the phenomenon of rotten outside and cold inside caused by thawing with a large fire.
Salt water and vinegar thawing method
If it is too late to put it into the refrigerator, the food can be thawed completely in salt water. This is because salt water can accelerate the melting of ice without breeding bacteria. Tap water is not suitable for thawing frozen meat. In addition, you can also dip the fork in some vinegar and fork it into the meat, which can also speed up the thawing speed.
Microwave thawing method
The microwave oven uses electromagnetic wave to make the polar molecules in frozen food rotate at a very high speed, and uses the principles of mutual vibration, friction and collision between molecules to generate a large amount of heat energy, so that the frozen food can heat from the inside to the surface at the same time, and shorten the thawing time.
How to thaw frozen meat quickly
Meat piece by piece, thawing is the slowest. So how can frozen meat thaw quickly?
The best way for families to refrigerate and thaw:
Put the frozen meat in the refrigerator and thaw it slowly. In this way, the loss of freshness of the frozen meat is very small, but it takes more than one day. Cut the raw meat into flat pieces, repack it and then freeze it. The larger the surface area of meat, the faster it will thaw. In this way, the freezing efficiency is high, the thawing is easy, and the impact of repeated freezing on meat quality can be avoided. If it is meat stuffing, it is recommended to put it in a fresh-keeping bag, drive away the air, tie it tightly, and then pat it flat, so that the thawing can be much faster.
Microwave thawing:
Set it to thaw. Thaw quickly. The thawing time in the microwave oven should not be too long. Cover a bowl on the food so that it can be thawed quickly as long as it is heated for one minute.
Air thawing method:
Wrap the frozen meat with fresh-keeping film or put it in a fresh-keeping box on the table. The loss of freshness is small and can be eaten on the same day. Try to take into account the same thawing speed inside and outside. If you have enough time, you'd better choose the low-temperature thawing method in the refrigerator. When the meat becomes slightly soft in the middle, but the whole is still hard, it's OK.
Hydrolysis:
It is recommended to wrap it in a convenience bag and then put it in cold water, otherwise there will be a lot of freshness and nutrition into the water.
Method for quick thawing dumplings:
1. In summer, unpacking light textile and putting it into cold water will naturally melt and freeze after 5-10 minutes; 50 DEG in winter; The above warm water or hot water can also thaw.
2. The capacity of containers for quick-frozen dumplings is relatively large, such as electric rice cooker, pressure cooker, deep vegetable basin, etc.
3. Thawing with water is the most simple and practical method. Other conditions can also be thawed by slightly heating in microwave oven for 20 seconds.
4. You don't need to thaw and steam with water. You can eat it directly. Mix some vinegar + salt + yellow rice wine + other seasonings and dip it.
