This isn't a recipe but a tip, or trick if you prefer.
A customer was in the store this morning telling Russ this. Russ had no idea this was true and didn't believe him. We talked about it after the customer left.
If you have something in the freezer in a vacuum sealed bag, you can thaw it quickly in some cool water. Do not use hot water. Hot water will start to cook the outside while the inside is still froze. Cold tap water is almost too cold and it will take longer to thaw. Cool water will thaw a steak out in 20 to 30 minutes depending on thickness.
Having it in a vacuum bag will keep the item from getting soggy. A zip top bag works if you get as much air out as possible. I don't know or care how it works. I just know that it works when I need it to.
About 3 months ago we cooked on the smoker a couple of pork loins that we had cut into chops. When they were cooked we put them into "sucker bags", (That's what my Dad calls Food Saver bags.) 2-3-4 per bag. To cook them we just put them in a pan of water on the stove top on medium heat until they were just starting to simmer. Mmmmmm

Yes, this does work good for any type of vacuum sealed meat. It's great when you get home from work and realize you forgot to get meat out of the freezer for supper. Thanks for sharing this tip and your recipes. Love your blog!
Thanks Janette!!
