Instruction manual
1
Put the minced meat in ceramic dishes and put in the microwave, setting the quick defrost mode. After a few minutes, the meat will melt. Make sure that the product is not cooked in the microwave and does not burn.

If there is no microwave, make a water bath and thaw the minced meat on it. In a small saucepan, pour water on 2-3 fingers and put on a slow fire. Put the minced meat in a ceramic bowl and lower it with water in it. Turn the frozen mincemeat in a bowl from time to time and remove the top layer that has already melted.

Another way to quickly defrost minced meat is to put it in a warm place. For example, place a bowl of meat near a heating battery, an oven on, or a boiling pan.

Are the batteries cold now, but on the stove and in the oven at the moment you are not cooking anything? Then tightly wrap the minced meat in a plastic bag, put the bundle in a small bowl, put it in the sink and turn on cool water. Under running water, frozen minced meat thaws in 20-30 minutes.

Also, minced meat can be chopped with a special hatchet for meat or a large knife into small pieces. Do not cope on your own - take your husband or someone else with strong arms to the aid. Then sprinkle the minced meat with salt. After 20-30 minutes it will melt.
Useful advice
When buying ready-made meat, divide it into several portions. The volume of each portion is exactly as much as you need to prepare a particular dish. Arrange the minced meat in sachets and level with your hands or a rolling pin to make thin layers. Make sure that there is no air between the minced meat and the polyethylene. Put them in the freezer to freeze. The next time you cook with minced meat, you will be able to defrost it much faster.
Also, it doesn’t hurt to write the date on the package when you put the stuffing in the freezer.
