Thawing Meat Faster
Ingredients
Steps
  1. The Testing Method
  2. To test this theory, I froze two ½-inch-thick pork chops solid, then transferred one pork chop to an aluminum baking sheet and the second to a stoneware plate.
  3. I placed both the plate and the aluminum baking sheet side-by-side on my kitchen counter and checked on them every 15 minutes until it was defrosted and not hard in the center anymore.
  4. The Results
  5. After just 1 hour, the pork chop on the aluminum baking sheet was completely thawed but still cold to the touch. The pork chop on the stoneware plate, however, took 45 minutes longer to reach the same consistency. It was quite a significant time difference!
