Tip of the Day- Defrosting

Buying in bulk and freezing individual portions of protein is one of the easiest ways to save money. Simply transfer to the fridge 24 hours prior to cooking (large cuts of meat may take longer) and allow to defrost. If you forget and/or want to defrost quickly, place sealed protein in a bowl and place in sink. Run COLD water on protein until completely thawed. This works particularly well with seafood, allowing you to get from the freezer to the pan in as little as half an hour. Be sure to dry everything thoroughly before cooking in oil.
