idk I always take it out of the freezer 24-48 hours prior to cooking

>>16529067
the broiler setting on your oven

Literally the defrost button on your microwave.

>>16529067

>>16529085
If a microwave gives you cancer, so does a wireless telephone and your router.

>>16529085
>it does give you cancer.
gosh i hope so. but what makes you think that? and why do you need to do it fast and what kind of meat?

>>16529091
correct

>>16529094
None of them give you cancer, but can cause serious burns with powerful enough emissions.

>>16529067
this. just submerge it in water and it should thaw out pretty quickly

I got rectal cancer because people kept calling me while I had my phone crammed up my ass set to vibrate

Safe tier: put it on the bottom level of your fridge the night before or day before
Bachelor tier: microwave
Child tier: defrost in water

>>16529067
Seuss veeday!

Leave frozen product on countertop for a few hours. It's just that simple. There are no health concerns unless you leave it exposed to air.
DO NOT USE THE MICROWAVE. Only retarded people do that to meat.

>>16529067
put it up your ass, your body heat will defrost it quickly

>>16529067
Put it on counter top on top of a porous tile

>>16529067
Slow Cooker!

Drop it in the deep fryer for a couple minutes.

Hot water

>>16529602
"cram" is the verb you're after.

>>16529067
Put it in a bowl of cold water

>>16529067
just cook it retard lmao

>>16529080
Bullshit

sous vide set to lowest temperature, which is 25c on mine
roasts are defrosted in 20 minutes, chicken breasts in 5, too fast for significant bacterial growth
note this only really works if you vacuum-pack your meat

if you dont have a circulator then put it in a bowl and setting under a gently running tap to the water is constantly replaced with slightly warmer water

>>16529075
that just cooks one half and leaves the rest frozen

Anything bigger than a couple steaks or chicken thighs gets defrosted in the fridge. Otherwise I defrost on the counter.

Wotah

I've heard about a defroster that was essentially a big block of aluminum, and it transferred heat so quickly the what ever you put on it was thawed in a few minutes, while the block got cold extremely fast. Has anyone seen/heard of this? I barely remember someone telling me about this.

>>16532605
I believe I saw something similar on a late 90's early 2000's 3am infomercial after an episode of mst3k. I'm guessing it was a piece of shit.

>>16529085
You're eating meat already so that shouldn't be a concern for you.

>>16532605
>>16532620
This intrigues me. Anyone got more information or even a link to the infomercial?

It's interesting, though, and I feel like I'd still like try for myself.
