Microwave Thaw Ok?! Best Way to Thaw a Steak Experiment

[@spliceoncharlie]

Basically, thaw overnight in the fridge. Nice when a classic old-school traditional method still holds up as the best.

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Yes indeed! The thaw plate was a surprising success too.

[@bellalisah8174]

This helped me alot today. Ive never tried a cast iron thawing plate, but will buy one now.

[@kindabluejazz]

When in a hurry, I thaw in the microwave but for only about 4 minutes (depends on the thickness). I do it till it's still a bit stiff in the middle, and not pre-cooked at all. Then I let it sit for another 10 minutes. This method takes takes a total of less than 15 minutes.

[@trmalo]

“Surprisingly palatable” is a ringing endorsement. Save that method for well done. Hahaha

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Yep! Hah

I like this experiment, and it has proven very helpful.

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Great to hear!

[@giovanni4304]

Very underrated channel, i love all the different experiments and cooking techniques

[@emilguldmann6816]

If you defrost in the microwave, flip it half way and stop before parts of it it reaches a cooking temperature and just thaw it in the pan for the remainder, would you be able to tell the difference?

[@BizzyIzzy87]

Lol most of my steaks thawed in the fridge "overnight" are still semi frozen.

[@BM_100]

Same because the fridge is still very cold

[@Pule4ka]

Nice job Gavin! The videos here deserve much more views.

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

[@d2c341]

Time wise in the fridge overnight method depends so best to give more time doing so.

[@bearsnevergiveup]

What is the brand of thawing plate used?

[@dougharlow6037]

What do you do with all the water that accumulates in the bag when thawing?

[@Zraekor]

The best meat is fresh off the bone from a recent kill within 3 hours.

[@밥먹자-l9d]

Can i using the oven?and could you recommend a temper?

[@GarthMurray1]

No experiment where the tester knows the results beforehand is valid. Personal bias can not be ruled out.

Is eating steak really a job?

[@CertifiedAngusBeefTestKitchen]

Chef Gavin also works on developing new recipes and food photoshoots. But, yes, eating steak is a big part of it!

[@momentomori6954]

Lucky 🥺

[@bubbahyde322]

I shuttered when I read ,"microwave" and "steak"

[@blueskys6265]

I throw my frozen raw meet directly on my granite countertops. Works great.

[@ProdByZilz]

That steak is mooing

[@spacechannelfiver]

First don't freeze steak you animals. Second, if there's some frozen component then stick it in a Microwave, choose defrost setting and blast it for 30-40 seconds. This will break down the ice in the middle enough for normal room temperature convection to do its job. Let it sit for a couple of hours and done. Don't microwave it on full blast for 7 minutes.

[@SaltNBattery]

3 is undercooked.

[@eclipsez0r]
