Defrosting meat at room temperature can lead to dangerous bacterial growth. The outside of meat can reach temperatures above 4°C while the inside is still frozen, creating a favorable environment for bacteria.
Helpful Tips
Immediate Cooking: If you use the microwave to defrost, cook the meat immediately after the process.
Direct Cooking: For some cuts such as ground meat or small pieces, you can cook them directly from frozen, adjusting the cooking times.
