Break the beef into smaller pieces first so the germs can't find it.

Oooooh who lives in tepid water floating in dirty sinks?

This guy is starting the next epidemic in his kitchen.

[–] EmoBean@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's either developing the next epidemic, or he's training his immune system to have street fights. He'll either be the savior or destroyer of the human race.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Why not both?

I'm just guessing here but I would think that cooking would kill off anything picked up from the thawing process.

It's nasty, but not necessarily unsafe.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And now you're washing your dishes in a sink coated with whatever came out of the meat

Not necessarily toxins (as in ones produced by bacterial/fungal processes) or toxic/bad-tasting chemicals left over from cleaning dishes.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Assuming dishes have been cleaned and not just rinsed/wiped

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If they're cleaned in a sink that just had raw meat floating around, they're not clean regardless.

Sure, it might be safe to eat after it's been cooked, but who wants washed mince meat?

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Here's the real problem

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

as long as you cook it thoroughly it's not terrible but not great. though keeping it in the wrapper would be better (that's what we do at the restaurant). even a ziploc bag.

i mean assuming the water is clean and the sink is relatively routinely cleaned.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 42 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I mean... the sink in the pic is visibly dirty.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Might just be a bit rusty, that'll just act like an iron supplement 😂

[–] insomniac_lemon@kbin.social 21 points 10 months ago

That's another 2 violations, Harry.

This is how our ancestor did it

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 22 points 10 months ago (1 children)

and they lives till their mid 30s.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

No they didn't. Infants and children were dying left and right but if you survived to adulthood you'd most likely die in your 50's-60's.

High infant mortality rate is why the average human life expectancy was around 30.

Honestly this is why I hate averages because they can be easily misleading without the original source information to put it into perspective.

"Massively unsafe"? only if he wants to eat it afterwards...

[–] PopcornTin@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's brilliant. Once it thaws, just start a campfire under the sink and you can cook it right there. It's metal, pans are metal, quid pro quo same thing.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Squid pro quo

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It will be disgusting but if you thoroughly cook it it should be safe.

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Cooking kills most bacteria - but not all, that's how food poisoning still happens in cooked food (cross contamination too, but that's a separate issue). You should never defrost meat at room temp, best way is in the fridge since it still keeps it at a temp that's safe for a few days after being fully defrosted but it takes a day or two to fully defrost. To do it faster you can submerge it in cold water if you replace the water every couple of hours (or more often, depending on your room temp) until you cook it but that's a last resort if you just need it defrosted in the same day

[–] mycatiskai@lemmy.one 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The fastest way, like 15 mins is to take the sealed package of frozen meat and put it in a container with hot but not boiling water. The meat will act like an ice cube, cooling down the water and other than the very center of the meat it will be ready to cook right away. This is really only good for ground meats because you can fry, flip, and scrape off the frozen center bit while browning the rest of the meat. Still better than microwave defrosting.

[–] tilgare@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 10 months ago

This is NOT a food safe practice. Following this advise is extraordinarily dangerous. Thawing under cold, running water is the safe way to thaw frozen meat.

[–] Piemanding@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

I thought the cooked food poisoning is from the toxins that bacteria/fungi make in the food. The toxins are usually to keep competitors from taking their food.

[–] ApfelstrudelWAKASAGI@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Afaik, all immeadiately dangerous bacteria get killed by cooking. To completely kill the botulism bacteria for example, you'd have to heat it to 120°C, but the botulism bacteria isn't dangerous, it just produces toxins (that are destroyed at 80°C). The only real concern here are toxin producing bacteria and fungi (that won't sufficiently reproduce in such a short timespan as is necessary for thawing 1kg of meat). It might be bad if you left it out for longer.

His training his stomach like an Indian.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why not pee on it? It's warmer so it will work faster and I it is probably cleaner.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

This isn't the pissposting community, so we should shit on it.

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

keep going, probably fine

[–] lntl@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

doesn't everyone do this?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 10 months ago

Quickly, somebody test his blood against viruses and cancer cells!
