How to defrost meat?

Any meat has three basic states: fresh, chilled and frozen. With the first and second state all clear, but the third requires some explanation. To get started is to talk about how to freeze meat, and then move on to his unfreezing.

The best way to freeze - is the industry. Fast freeze in special circumstances does not form ice crystals that can destroy the cell of meat. For example, frozen in this way is supplied to Russia all the meat for steaks (our ladybirds enough marbling and other necessary qualities for such a product). In most steak restaurants cook it from frozen meat, properly stored in the delivery process and correct unfrozen. Is steaks in restaurants is not tasty? So do not be afraid of meat, frozen industrial way, it preserves the flavor.

The second way - a home, which is practiced by the majority of housewives, and which I think is wrong. We bought a large piece of chilled meat, cut off for dinner, the rest being frozen in a simple refrigerator. Here the problem: slow freezing a large piece of meat is uneven - first freezes its edge, then the middle layer, and only then the center piece, and this is undesirable. While defrosting the meat, frozen in such a way that destroys cell structure and, most likely, rather than a beautiful piece of meat you get biomass, not suitable for a tasty dinner.

If homework remaining meat still needed, you must do it correctly. It is necessary to divide the meat into small pieces (one serving - one piece), arrange them on individual packages and then freeze. Of course, the taste of meat is not like the guy or cooled, but still better than a larger piece.

So how do you defrost the meat properly? The algorithm steps are very simple. Meat from the freezer to shift into a zone with zero temperature in the fridge, wait days, until the meat reaches a temperature of 0 degrees uniformly throughout the mass. It should be soft, with no internal seals, plastic.

From the zero-zone refrigerator to put the meat in warm water and bring to room temperature, under water, this process will take just 10-15 minutes. Why the water? The air heat exchanger is low, whereas the water quickly and fairly evenly bring meat to room temperature. After that, the meat should be shifted to a paper towel and blot the water from above. If the meat is intended for the preparation of the broth, you can immediately put it in cold water and boil. Do not use hot water, or the upper protein elements may curdle.

Why do we butcher meat for homework? Yes, everything is very simple - a la carte pieces of meat more quickly and uniformly throughout the depth of unfrozen meat.

To summarize, formulate briefly a few simple rules that I follow when buying, storing and cooking meat.

Better to buy chilled or fresh meat in a quantity necessary for cooking a lunch or dinner, not more.

v Buying meat, frozen only industrial way and packaged portions.

v If meat is still necessary to freeze the house, divide it into small portions.

v Begin to defrost the meat for one day prior to cooking in the zero refrigerator chambers.

What to cook sorrel? Top 10 simple salads

Sorrel and useful, and tasty, if, of course, know when to stop in his hand. But now is exactly the time when he is begging for the language - have only to decide in what form, bring to the table "meadow apple," as some call it leafy vegetables. Opportunities - more than enough, it all depends on taste preferences of those who are designed dishes.

And let as a key selection criteria take the simplicity of preparation and use of sorrel extremely fresh (so that none of the nutrients are not boiled, not excessive evaporation and not evaporated). What then can you make salads? The most diverse. For example, a dozen of the fastest.

... Tomatoes

It is very simple. We cut strips of dock (of course, well washed under running water) - so that the output was a full glass. Three medium tomatoes - first half, then the plates (you can if you wish and cloves). Everything should be laid in a bowl, salt, pepper, add the finely chopped garlic cloves and filled with vegetable oil. What could be simpler?

... With cucumbers

To a pair of medium-sized cucumbers, chopped cubes, add 5-10 Sorrel leaves (depending on their size and taste testers), torn by hand. Variety of taste chopped dill and parsley - several sprigs each of greenery, and a pair of triple-feathers green onions. Mix up, dressed with sour cream or mayonnaise - as you'd like.

By the way, if you hand a couple of small potatoes - they too can go to work, cut into cubes in the form. Then the salad will become more dense snack .

... With radish

A bunch of sorrel and a bundle of radishes finely chop, as well as an egg, hard boiled. Adding straw posechennoy onion halves of the head and, if he wants, even, 1-2 Art. Tablespoons of peas from the jar. Mix, salt, dressed with cream to taste - that's all short-lived.

... With sweet pepper

All of wisdom - cut bunch sorrel, straw, and a pair of red sweet peppers (not the "giants" and "midgets" - middle) - cubes, add a tablespoon of crushed walnuts, salt and pepper, pour the vegetable oil and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley or dill, or both - as you wish.

... With Chinese cabbage and beetroot

Slightly extend the range of ingredients; you can get more exotic taste. A bunch of sorrel, and 200 g of Chinese cabbage (which is important: without thick stems) shinkuem fine strips, and a couple of small svekolok three on a coarse grater. This triad - beets, cabbage, sorrel - are the foundation of salad. Mixed up, spread on the dish, because it will fill just before serving.

For the filling to cook the sauce. The process is very simple, but requires a number of components in the kitchen. First, mix a half tablespoons of olive oil with half a tablespoon of vinegar. In this mixture add the crushed garlic clove, on 0,5 st. tablespoons soy sauce and juice of lime (or lemon) , 0.5 tsp ground ginger and salt to taste.

Watering vegetables cooked dressing, you can still sprinkle with chopped cilantro (one tablespoon will be plenty).

... Apple

In fact it seems to say out loud - with apples. It will do one green grams that way for 90 - 100. The same need sorrel, and another clove of garlic, sprig of parsley, salt and sour cream - to taste.

From the quarters of the apple and take out the core of the three on a coarse grater, not cleaning the skin. Add to it the chopped sorrel and passed through the press garlic clove, stir, salt and filled with sour cream. Laying out work in salad bowl, sprinkle with chopped parsley. Accept - quickly and without loss of vitamins.

... With grapes

Take a big bunch of sorrel and one small - parsley and dill, finely chop, salt. Fill their dressing, which is made from 2 tbsp. tablespoons vegetable oil, 0,5 st. tablespoons apple cider vinegar and 3 tbsp. Spoon a little whipped cream (for the blender so much - funny, for the shaker - also a big smear on the walls, so just take two forks and wielding acircular counter-movements).

Mix up and put into salad bowl and top placing halves vinogradinok cut down. Instead of fresh grapes can you use the marinade, but in my opinion, the first version is softer and more useful.

... With vegetables "assorted"

A couple of medium-sized carrots , one apple and onion polgolovki chip on a small grater, add a straw from one pickles and a fresh, finely chopped sorrel (100 g), dressed with either vegetable oil or sour cream. We spread a salad bowl and stretched the edges of the rim of thin circles or semicircles of radish, and midway sprinkle with dill.

... With eggs

By "raspolosovannym" leaves a large bundle of sorrel adds chopped green onions (a few feathers) and a couple of finely chopped or worn on a coarse grater boiled eggs. Mix, add, except salt, some sugar and filled with sour cream, mayonnaise or vegetable oil (for my taste, oil is less suitable). If you want more and herbal spices - to health.

... With bacon

Bacon (about 100 g) fry in a skillet until crisp, first on one side, then the other. Lettuce (one or more varieties in total - about 20 leaves) is breaking hands, so do with sorrel (ten leaves). Tomatoes (1-2 pcs. - Depends on size) cut slices. All the ingredients mix lightly sprinkled with lemon juice and vegetable oil. Yes Do not forget to salt (with me it happens).
