1. Thaw in the refrigerator compartment. For example, take the meat out of the freezer before going to work in the morning, put it in the refrigerator, and use it at home in the evening, or put it in the refrigerator overnight in advance and use it the next morning. Special attention is that before putting meat in the refrigerator, it must be packed in a fresh-keeping box or fresh-keeping bag; raw and cooked are separated (instant food is on the top, non-instant food is on the bottom) to avoid cross-contamination; except for washing and cutting, it has been thawed of meat should be kept in the refrigerator and processed or consumed within two days.

2. Seal it and then soak it in cold water to thaw. Although frozen meat is not suitable for thawing by directly soaking it in cold water, it is still possible to seal the meat and then soak it in cold water. However, pay attention to the control time not too long, it is recommended to replace the ice water with cold water in time and continue to soak. Also, cook as soon as possible after thawing.

3. Use the microwave to thaw. For some frozen meats with regular shapes and not too thick, you can try to thaw them in a microwave. Frozen meat needs to be placed in a microwave-safe container before putting it in the microwave. Thawing can be done in two steps: first set a relatively short time to complete the first thawing, then take out the food and turn it over, and then complete the second thawing, so that the meat is heated more evenly and the thawing effect is more comprehensive.
