How can I thaw out my steaks quicker, would it be okay to set them in a sink of warm water while they are in the pack?

Answer #1

Not warm - cold. Placing them in warm water will begin the cooking process and place them in the danger zone for too long. You’d be surprised at how quickly they will defrost in cold water.

Hmm…okay thanks you Colleen. :)

Answer #3

Should I put them in the water upside down, or right side up?

I’m not sure it matters, but I would say upside-down.

If they float, turn them upside down
