A neat way to thaw meat

[cnelk]

Came across this method of thawing or defrosting meat without any electricity or water.

Place the meat on a skillet base and then place another skillet on top.

The cast iron transfers the cold away from the meat

This steak took just over an hour to thaw

Interesting, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

I find any type of stone countertop seems to really do this as well.

Just slapping it on an inverted iron skillet works very well, too.

Adding the additional iron seems like it would speed things up but I've never tried it.

A thing to watch for. This will cause your iron to sweat or condense water and, if not cared for and dried well, will cause it to rust

I tried it with an xl moose shank and it worked a lot faster. It wasn’t an hour but I believe the bone was the culprit. I think it kept the meat from getting full contact. Definitely faster than sitting in a plate on the counter. Thanks again!

Thank you…. I’ll have to try it out.

Don't you just love all of the knowledge that is shared on the rokslide!?!?
Thanks.

Aluminium works even faster

We have quartz countertops and they work well for thawing frozen ground meat quickly.
