With the improvement of living standard, refrigerator is one of the electrical appliances in every household. So the question is, how to defrost frozen meat quickly? The editor teaches you how to save time and effort.
I think you usually use hot water to defrost. But hot water is not the perfect way to defrost. Why do you say that? Because after putting meat in hot water , the meat will harden, and the nitrogen and vitamins will be dissolved in the process of soaking, thus breeding microorganisms, and the propagation speed is fast. If people prefer to thaw in hot water, it is suggested that you use the same convenient cold water thawing method, and the propagation speed of microorganisms in cold water is slower. Here are some quick thawing methods.
1. Salt water or vinegar, first take out the meat and put it into the cold room for 1 to 2 hours, make the frozen meat soft, then put the meat into the salt water to completely thaw, because the salt water can accelerate the melting of the ice, and do not breed bacteria.
2. Unfreeze with LV pan, place the bottom of the aluminum pan on the table, then place the frozen meat on the bottom of the aluminum pan, and press another aluminum pan gently on the frozen meat, about 5 minutes can unfreeze. This makes use of the extremely strong thermal conductivity of aluminum products. The two sides of frozen meat are close to the aluminum plate, and the frozen meat will thaw in a short time through the heat exchange between the aluminum plate and the surrounding air. Aluminum pot and aluminum cover have the same effect.
3. The advantage of microwave defrosting is that it can heat food by the principle of water molecules rising temperature. At the same time, it also has disadvantages, that is, if the heating time is not well controlled, part of the food will be discolored, and part of it is ice. Therefore, when defrosting in the microwave oven, we should use the lowest level, first set a shorter time, then stop for a few minutes, and change the side of the food to be defrosted, so that the temperature of the food is more uniform, and continue to heat for one or two minutes When the frozen meat has partially thawed and can be cut with a knife, it can be taken out. At this time, it does not affect the taste of the meat and is easy to slice.
4. The best way to defrost is to defrost in the refrigerator. It needs to take the meat out of the freezer the night before and put it into the fresh-keeping bag, and then put it into the bottom of the refrigerator freezer. In this way, the meat will not melt from the outside immediately, but will heat up as a whole in the frozen state, and defrost evenly. In addition, there is no problem of nitrogen-containing dissolved water loss, and the protein can remain soft at low temperature, with little loss of gravy.
Tips:
1. Don't use hot water to soak and thaw the frozen meat just bought back or taken out of the freezer. This is because the juice crystal of the meat melts quickly, and it can't penetrate into the fiber of the meat to lose white and white, thus losing part of the protein and aromatic substances. The food made of this kind of meat has low nutritional value and poor taste.
2. Put the thawed meat in fresh-keeping bags. Do not put it together with fruits and vegetables. Avoid damaging the fruits and vegetables by water leakage after thawing.
3. Last but not least, do not defrost repeatedly. Repeatedly heated meat may produce harmful chemicals.
