If you cook frozen meat straight away, the inside may still be cold even though the outside of the meat looks cooked.

Brilio.net - Animal meat is the easiest source of protein on the market. You can choose animal meat ranging from chicken, beef, goat, fish, and others. So, the stock of animal meat needs to be stored in the freezer first so that it stays fresh when you don't want to cook it.

However, low temperatures in the freezer will cause the meat to freeze. The condition of frozen meat is actually also homework (homework) when you want to cook. It takes quite a long time to wait for the meat to thaw. The reason is, if frozen meat is cooked straight away, the inside may still be cold even though the meat looks cooked from the outside.

So, thawing frozen meat can be done easily and quickly if you rely on a microwave. However, not everyone has this tool.

On the other hand, this experience regarding thawing frozen meat was also shared by YouTube user godemansoutwest.

The old way to thaw it is that I have to wait at least an hour to cook this meat)," said the user godemansoutwest YouTube account, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (11/4).

The man on the YouTube account godemansoutwest admitted that now he doesn't need to waste any more time thawing frozen meat because he already knows the trick. Instead of using a microwave, to practice this trick you only need two kitchen ingredients so frozen meat can thaw in just 5 minutes.

Next, put the frozen meat in clean plastic. Tie the plastic tightly so that no liquid gets in and the meat remains hygienic. Then, soak the meat in a solution of vinegar and salt. Make sure the meat is completely submerged, okay? If necessary, you can use weights on top of the meat.

Let the meat soak for about 5 minutes. If so, the meat is ready to be cooked. The owner of the YouTube account godemansoutwest explained that frozen meat can thaw quickly because the vinegar and salt can raise the temperature during the soaking process.
