Today I’m going to talk about meat.
Last week, I did not eat the precious bulgogi that my mother made for me, so I left it in the refrigerator for too long and threw it away without eating…
No matter how old it is in the refrigerator, it’s good to not eat it if it’s too old…
I didn’t know it had been that long
I’ve definitely experienced firsthand that meat needs to be kept frozen. It’s very expensive ~ … If you know this, you’ll probably eat it twice and throw it away.
I might be dead, but luckily I haven’t died yet because I didn’t speak. 냉동고기 해동법
didn’t…
Therefore, meat must be kept frozen. If you want to keep it refrigerated, it should be eaten within 3 to 5 days at the latest, and even if it is vacuum-packed, refrigerate the meat within a week.
And if you store raw beef for roasting in the refrigerator, you can eat it for several months if you keep it in the freezer for 3 to 5 days.
In addition, minced beef is kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days, and if stored frozen, it is 2 to 3 months. . . If you think about it that way, you can actually store it for a long time in a butcher’s shop.
Pork has 3-5 days in the refrigerator and a few more days in vacuum packaging, and up to 6 months if stored frozen.
Chicken can be stored in the refrigerator within 2 days. In the freezer, it is usually 12 months in a whole, and 9 months in cut meat, and between 3 to 4 months for intestines and minced meat. So, what is the best way to defrost frozen meat? 냉동고기 해동법
First of all, it is best to freeze the meat unless you are going to eat it as soon as possible.
good..
Raw meat is an unstable food in the air. It can always deteriorate quickly. .So the temperature of the meat must be lowered. And the acidification effect occurs by air and light. You cannot fundamentally prevent the deterioration of meat. …
The most perishable meat we eat is chicken, which is the most vulnerable to spoilage. So chicken should be eaten as soon as possible.
If you go to a mart, you can easily see the phrase “specialized in chilled meat”.
If you want to keep meat for a long time, you need to freeze the moisture inside the meat.
This is based on the common sense that frozen meat tastes worse than chilled meat.
The moisture in the meat starts to freeze at -1 degrees below zero. At -5 degrees below zero, 80% of the moisture in the meat freezes, and at -30 degrees below zero, 90% of the moisture in the meat.
It will be frozen.
When the meat is frozen, the proteins and cells in the meat are also damaged, and when you start thawing the frozen meat, the water is separated from the meat, and the juice is separated and the taste of the meat is affected.
If too much juice is released during the thawing process, not only does the taste of the meat deteriorate, but also the valuable nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals in the juice are lost together. Ice crystals are formed during this time, the larger the size of the ice crystals, the greater the amount of juice that is generated when the meat is thawed.
So, what is the best way to thaw frozen meat?
If the meat is frozen for long-term storage, it must first be slowly thawed at a low temperature. The ice crystals in the meat melt and expand. At this time, the juice comes out. The meat loses its flavor and the meat loses its original taste. . .
So, the best way to defrost frozen meat is to take it out of the freezer at least 12 hours before eating and keep it in the refrigerator for half a day. Because each cell of the meat is damaged, it is difficult to maintain the taste of the meat… .
When defrosting in the refrigerator, the juices of the meat are less drained and the taste of the meat can be preserved. And if you wrap the frozen meat in foil and store it, you can defrost it a little faster.
If you want to keep the taste of real meat, you should use at least 24 hours as the defrosting time. In addition, thawed meat can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, and chicken or fish should be eaten within 1-2 days… .
Next, there are cold water defrosting and sugar water defrosting methods that you can use when you are really in a hurry.
Soak the meat in cold water. At this time, you need to change the cold water every 30 minutes. At this time, you need at least 30 minutes or 1 hour.
The fastest way to defrost frozen meat is to dip it in sugar water… In this case, it takes about 30 minutes.
When defrosting sugar water, remove the plastic wrap and place it in sugar water.
In this case, use lukewarm water rather than cold water.
Usually, even frozen frozen meat can be thawed within 30 minutes.
Usually, sugar molecules penetrate the meat and break the bonds of the meat tissue, so that the meat is thawed quickly and the meat is tender.
Usually, professional cooks do not recommend it because of the loss of gravy.
The amount of sugar should be well dissolved at about 4:1 in the amount of water.
You should only use it when it’s really urgent.
If you don’t like immersing meat in water, it’s best to just wash it in cold water in a wrapped state, or wrap it in aluminum foil and leave it at room temperature… .
The worst way to defrost frozen meat is in the microwave and then sugar water…
There must be a reason why professional chefs do not recommend thawing in cold water or sugar water…
