Is it just me, or is this just GROSS

Every chain restaurant in the country defrosts proteins under running cold water.

Beat me to it...

I just buy my meats each week and keep them sealed in bags in the fridge.

defrost should be done under RUNNING cold water. keep the meat in a bag, vaccuum sealed bag would be ideal.

This is how I do it. I bet it takes a week to thaw a turkey in the fridge.

But frankly, I don't buy enough meet to bother freezing it. I usually buy and cook it the same day. Is that gross??

This is what I normally do, but sometimes I'll see a deal on something and buy it up and freeze it.

That's disgusting, Danny.

I don't see how you people get away with not freezing. Ground beef goes bad after 2-3 days in the fridge. Same with chicken and pork. Of course, it all depends on how long it was on the shelf at the grocery store as well. But I've bought steaks before, that didn't even keep until the next day before they spoiled.

I vacuum seal all of our meats and thaw them out in warm or cold water while still sealed. Have never had any issues this way.
