Thawing Frozen Meat

There’s no need to fear thawing meat! With knowledge and careful planning, you can thaw meat safely and effectively. Here are a few tips to get you started:

  1. Plan ahead! Thawing meat takes time, so plan and allow enough time for the process.
  2. Use cold water. Hot water can cook the meat, which is not what we want! When thawing meat in water, use cold water rather than hot or warm water.
  3. Do it slowly. Microwaving or using other high-heat methods to thaw meat can cause it to be harsh or dry out.

  • Pan-Fry. To pan-fry frozen meat, heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the frozen meat—Cook the meat for about five minutes per side or until it’s cooked through.
