"40 degrees"? Dear Howcast, there is actually a whole world outside America you know.

I refreeze things all the time. I've never gotten sick from it though?

[@muhamedalimatisa3245]

Same

[@nick4leader]

I do it all the time with hamburger. I'm lazy so I just thaw a bunch that I get from my uncle form it into patties and refreeze

[@snoopyloopy]

because they're using fahrenheit as the temperature scale.

I want to know the "Why?"

[@ProChoiceJesus]

Can someone please share with me why should we not re-freeze meat (ground beef specifically) after it has been thawed? What exactly is the danger? Thanks!

[@cbadesha]

ProChoiceJesus if it's been defrosted in cold water or microwave

Very informative video!

[@WIllyGilly321]

To thaw meat FAST use a cast iron pan. The thick heavey iron acts as a reverse heat sink on a computers CPU (SERIOUSLY!) Put the frozen meat in the pan with a few OZ of water, (Water acts like thermal grease). To speed this up even more, stack 2 pans, 1 upsude down, 1 rightside up touching eachother on their bottoms. This expands your surface area of iron dramatically. You can also turn a burner on momentaryly, just a few seconds. This works increadbly well, only about 60 min for a big steak.

[@YesYesYoureRight]

1:11 That sink could do with a clean. SHAME ! . Use some AJAX with bleach then get some metal polish to make it shine to the standard that is the minimum expected for videos on healthy lifestyle. . o0o
