What is a quick way to defrost meat?

Answer 1

depends on what you're cooking. if it's something that can be grilled, it can be put directly on a george foreman grill. also, most microwaves have presets for defrosting. it should take only 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the meat.

Answer 2

The problem with microwaving is that it starts to actually cook the meat. Then when you get around to actually cooking your food, parts of the food are much more cooked than others. This is especially bad with fish.

Put the meat in the sink and allow cold/lukewarm water to flow over it and partially fill the sink. A thin trickle will work. Return frequently to empty the sink. If you can't return periodically to empty the sink then put the meat on an aluminum pan (preferably elevated, like an inverted pie pan) and let the water run over it and down the drain.

Depending on the size of the meat I've had it take anywhere from fifteen minutes (for a fish fillet) to an hour (for a thick steak).

Answer 3

Microwave, depending on the size of the piece of meat, give it between 1 and 5 min burst in the microwave on half power ie 50% power, and turn meat over and around between each burst. you must cook and consume immediately if you do this however, (food safety). Otherwise defrost in fidge the night before.
