does this defrost meat ?

If you are talking about putting frozen items on it to cook, probably. If you are putting items on it to defrost minus cooking it at the same time, it will defrost as it would on a plate at room tempitur

Sure if you place the meat on it and leave it sitting on the counter. It will eventually defrost. But then again you can sit the meat on the counter without it and the same thing will happen.

No. This is simply a pan that covers two stove burners. If you normally use a skillet or pot on low heat on your stove to defrost meat, it might work sort of like that. But defrosting is not the purpose of this item. I have heard of defrosting tools that look similar to this, but this is not a defroster.

I haven't tried frozen meat. But I have used it for Summer Sausage and it works great. Personally I don't think I'd try slicing frozen meat on this, even using the mandolin attachment. Although it would probably work, it would not be as safe as using a food processor with a slicing attachment. You may also find that there may be too much prep work involved in using it for sliced meat since the attachments are only about 3" square.

No, because it is a meat product. To properly can any meat product it must be processed in a pressure canner. not a steamer or boiling water bath

Yes. We almost always defrost with the lids on, especially if the food has been frozen and the food expanded. I then remove the lid once the food is nearly done and do a final bit of time without it.

no it doesn't. it is very salty. use sparingly. when i use adolphs, i poke the meat with a fork repeatedly to hopefully distribute it into the meat.

There's another way. Use the Turbo Inverter Defrost button, and dial in the approximate weight of the food you are thawing. It calculates the time to defrost based on that.

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

You can always cook frozen meat. I frequently have put frozen hamburger in a skillet simultaneously friying it and thawing it out right there in the pan constantly scraping off the outer layer as it cooks and defrosts at the same time. You can do this in the instant pot on the Saute setting. In any pressure cooker ( the instant pot is primarily used as a pressure cooker) you can put a whole frozen chicken, stew meat, frozen chiie block with two inches of water, making beef stew or chicken soup and just cook it about 5 minutes longer in the pressure cooker than unfrozen meat. It works very well. A pressure cooker unthaws frozen meat rather quickly as it cooks at about 240 degrees. No need to defrost first. You can take the meat put in the morning, put it in a dish in the morning and it will bee defrosted when you get home from work, but that is not necessary. Just take it out of the freezer and throw it in the Pressure Cooker. It will cook just the same as unfrozen, just give it a few extra minutes Bottom line - frozen is no big deal. W.O.

Yes it does and it goes into defrost mode several times a day. It also has a mode to take the humidity out of the air if needed!

If you put frozen meat in the ceramic crock, you run the risk of cracking it or cracking the glaze...the easiest way to visualize this is to think of glass going from one extreme temperature to another...it shatters. That's an over-simplification but similar to what can occur to the glaze / ceramic. That being said....I HAVE used frozen chicken with plenty of sauce, placing potatoes underneath it so it didn't have direct contact with the bottom of the crock. We have also placed a small rack in the base for frozen beef that was sealed in a vacuum sealed packet (seal-a-meal), suspended in water, (filling the crock with cold water before turning it on to low) . Both did not crack the crock...but, we were taking the risk. Note: I would NOT try this on HIGH because of the extreme temperature variations. I do recall the instructions saying NOT to place frozen foods directly in contact with the crock. Now, to answer your query regarding the meat probe....when we did the beef, I placed the probe in the water to track the cooking temp.....we were experimenting with Sous Vide method of cooking. If you brown the meat in the boiler (from a frozen state), I think it would defrost the meat enough to put the probe in, otherwise, it would be too solid to even get it in. I have found that beef, pork, chicken & turkey tastes better if first quickly browned, either in the broiler or in a pan on the stove...it seals the meat and retains its moisture. Note...if cooking meat in a vacuum sealed packet, you don't need to brown it first, (it retains it's moisture because of the vacuum seal). You can even add a marinade prior to vacuum sealing the meat. Hope this helps.

Yes works real well. What I do is to put a portion in a baggie. Lay it flat in the freezer. It will freeze as a flat thin block. Then vacuum seal it. it will also defrost faster than a thick frozen block.

Yes, it operates at very low temperatures and has a defrost cycle, which is why I purchased it. It has survived temperatures as low as 8 °F.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! This refrigerator does not allow for the defrost cycle to be turned off. It does, however, allow for it to be sped up.

I don't know the technical details..BUT the inverter defrost manages to defrost without leaving part of the food frozen, and another portion cooked.

I only slice meat from a frozen state, provides a much more consistent thickness. The machine has been slicing frozen meat for over two years and still works. It is advertised as being able to slice frozen meat and i have had no issues.

Manual defrost, but has been an excellent product. Can be a ref or freezer cools very quickly. It seems to be very durable. We are using it in a storage department under a motorhome.

Yes; however, I have not had to defrost it yet after having it in operating condition since June 27th. In searching for a compact fridge/freezer, I tried to find a frost-free but failed to find one in the cubic foot capacity size I wanted. I read reviews offered for the SPT and noticed comments about not having to constantly defrost this product. I liked it so much that I forfeited the feature of frost-free and am not disappointed so far with my choice. There has been a minimum of frost accumulated thus far.
