Tip for thawing chicken / other meats

[JoNeS]

Recently discovered a cool way to thaw out almost any completely frozen meat in about 15 mins. First freeze the meat inside of a ziplock bag. Then just put the bag in to some hot water (not boiling), and the meat will thaw rather quickly. This saves me a ton of time, and it is easier to grill food on the fly instead of making it all in one day. Hope this helps.....

yea thats what I do but use luke warm water because you don't wanna start cooking it before you're ready to eat it.

good call, yea luke warm water is better. Btw why do they call it "luke" warm, instead of just warm water. lol

Is this an anabolic chicken we are defrosting here? Just wondering, since this is the anabolic forum.

you dont need to use a ziplock bag
being a student i just get chicken breast, drop in hot water, leave for a while then cook.

i have not given myself food poisoning once even though i have been told by many girls that you shouldnt put chicken in hot water to defrost

and this post does relate to anabolics, because unlike in the UK all US animals are juiced up

Why wouldn't you use a ziplock bag???? Just doesn't make sense to me they cost like 3 cents.

it neva occured to me that i would want to use one
putting the chicken in the bag would be another stage in the already complicated task of cooking food

maybe i'll invest in some ziplock bags next time i go shopping

Best way to defrost things is to use your setting on your microwave. less chance of bacteria build up. Thanks!

I dont know about that. But I've got an excellent recipe for a scrumptious meatloaf. Anyone want to get together and trade recipes?

Yeah, you are supposed to use cold running water rather than warm or hot water because of bacteria. Of course, I usually just use hot haha.
