How do you (gasp) defrost steak and...


 
My wife brought home a frozen 15# Turkey and wants me to cook it Sunday. I put it in an ice chest in the garage where it won't get above 65 degrees. Hopefully it'll defrost in time so I can do the 8 hour Brine that Chris A. posted
 
I use the cold water in the sink method. It gets a piece of meat defrosted pretty quick. Since I don't freeze using a zip lock (only vacuum pack), I don't have the problem with the air insulating the meat or allowing the bag to float in the sink. I change out the water every hour to hour and a half. Of course you couldn't do a pork butt in a couple hours, but a steak or something around a few pounds is no problem.
