How to thaw ground beef in 3 minutes or less.
- Remove ground beef from your freezer.
- Remove ground beef from packaging.
- Put ground beef into a gallon size microwave safe Ziplock™ bag.
- Seal the Ziplock™ bag and open one end up enough to allow steam to escape.
- Put ground beef in microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Turn the ground beef over and microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Remove from microwave and massage the ground beef in the bag.
- If still a little too frozen, microwave on high for 30 more seconds.
- Let the ground beef set for 30 seconds.
- Cook and enjoy your quick meal!
Here’s a video with the instructions as well. After all, seeing is believing. Enjoy!
