What are the four acceptable methods of thawing frozen food?

In the modern food processing industry, meat is not immediately used for processing when delivered to the factory, so it is straightforward to spoil if it is left for a long time.

As a professional manufacturer of Microwave Equipment, we understand that there are four standard methods of thawing, and each of these four methods has its advantages and disadvantages.

What are the four acceptable methods of thawing frozen food?
There are many methods of thawing food, especially in some households, where frozen meat products are usually left at room temperature for thawing, which can cause serious food safety hazards, possibly leading to bacterial growth and food poisoning. The four safer food defrosting methods are refrigerator defrosting, Microwave Defrosting, cooking defrosting, and cold water defrosting.

1. Refrigerator defrosting
Refrigerator defrosting is the safest way to defrost food because the refrigerator's temperature is relatively low, so the bacteria in the food will not multiply quickly. When defrosting food in the refrigerator, make sure the temperature is below five °C and place the defrosted food on the lowest shelf and in a container to prevent the water from flowing and contaminating other foods after defrosting.

But refrigerator defrosting takes longer often need to be defrosted a day in advance, for some ample food, such as frozen turkey, etc., may take a few days to defrost thoroughly, the correct choice is that you need to allow at least 24 hours for every 2.5 kg to defrost.

2. Microwave Defrosting
Microwave Defrosting is the most efficient way to defrost food. You can use a microwave oven for defrosting at home, using the defrosting or low to medium power level, so that the heat has enough time to transfer, which can effectively prevent one part of the food from defrosting. In contrast, the other part has started to cook.

Most Microwave Food Manufacturers usually use Industrial Defrosting Equipment for defrosting, a very advanced Microwave Equipment that mainly uses polar molecular vibration to produce an elastic collision with surrounding molecules frictional heat generation's heating. This method of reheating and defrosting food has the advantages of low production cost, high efficiency, no bacterial growth, and a small footprint unmatched by other processes.

3. Cooking and defrosting
Frozen foods such as burger patties, frozen vegetables, and frozen pastries must be thawed by cooking, which requires strict compliance with the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the taste and nutrition of the food.

4. Coldwater thawing
For some small batches of frozen food, many people will choose to place them in the flow of cold water to thaw. This is the least recommended way to freeze because this thawing method will lead to the growth of food bacteria and a higher rate of meat loss. If you must use the cold water thawing method, you should let the food completely immersed in cold water, so this requires a large enough cold water tank and a lot of running water, but also, this will cause a waste of water.

The above are the four standard methods of defrosting frozen food; through the above comparison, we can clearly understand that Microwave Defrosting is the fastest and safest way to defrost, especially in the food processing industry, the application of Thawing Machine is ubiquitous, we have also reached long-term cooperation with several well-known companies and friendly relations.
