Defrosting Mince

Savvy_Sue

You could always bag it up and wrap your mince block in a tea towel. Get a wooden rolling pin or heavy object and smash it up a bit to aid defrosting.

Now that would make my 'bung a lump in the frying pan' method quicker as well! Thank you!

Yeah....I'm with the "cook it from frozen is fine" brigade. It's not pork or chicken, which I'm ultra careful about.

My theory is that it's fine to cook burgers from frozen, so why not minced beef, which is for all purposes the same stuff? Just mash it up as it goes brown on the outside! People eat almost raw beef as steaks or even steak tartare (ugh!).

ALL meat I eat has to be cooked thoroughly, can't stand a bit of raw in anything...eeew!

my mum always used to cook it straight from frozen too and it was fine. ;D
