How to defrost meat: the expert explains how to do it correctly even when you have little time available

Microwave “defrost” function: Some microwaves have a specific defrost function. It is important to use the correct mode to prevent the meat from partially cooking.
Cooking meat from frozen: Some thinner cuts can be cooked directly from frozen, although it is generally best to avoid this method, as it may compromise even cooking.
Safe refreezing: Only meat that has been previously thawed and cooked can be refreezed. Cooking kills bacteria, allowing the food to be safely re-frozen.
To keep your meat safe and tasty, remember to take your meat out of the freezer early and follow one of these methods.
