How can I thaw out my steaks quicker, would it be okay to set them in a sink of warm water while they are in the pack?

Answer #1

Not warm - cold. Placing them in warm water will begin the cooking process and place them in the danger zone for too long. You'd be surprised at how quickly they will defrost in cold water.

i flatten them out before freezing...stack them with cooking paper in between and then put them inside a freezer bag. that way they dont become an 'ice-block'...

How do I know when it is completely thawed out? I touched it, and it is mushy, but I don't know if it is completely thawed all the way or not...
