Extra Step Saves Time Later
Posted by terrepruitt on July 26, 2021
I thought I would bring this up again. We just completed this step yesterday and it is kind of a pain in the butt, but once it is done I have a big sense of accomplishment AND . . . we have just succeeded in making dinner prep easier. Now if I can just remember to take the meat out of the freezer in time for it to defrost I would be set.

Any of you take this step? Any of you have the challenge of remembering to take it out in time to defrost for dinner?

That’s a good idea!
Since the pandemic I’ve been washing my veggies as soon as I get them home but I’ve noticed they go bad faster, which really sucks.
And I forget to thaw the meat soooo many times! I had to start setting a reminder on my phone to do it. 😂

Yeah, I feel like washing the veggies when getting home makes them go bad faster. It is nice to be able to reach in the fridge and have that step be done, though. And thank you for sharing in my same situation! I always forget to take the meat out. One thing that helps is placing it on metal. Metal wants to be cold so it draws the cold from the meat. It is crazy, but it works.

If I put meat in the freezer it usually ends up becoming a brick that gets tossed. It just takes too long to defrost.

Glad you have quick and easy access to groceries! I just defrosted some meat today for dinner tonight and it is already marinated. I prefer my meat marinated.
