Defrosting Meat.summer Time.


Recommended Posts

I know the experienced lads will know this but the lads new to dogs might benefit from it.

The best way to defrost meat in this heat is in a bucket of cold water placed in the shade.

No flys.and no chance of the meat going off in this heat as chicken can turn in a matter of hrs.

Here's an example.

Last summer about 28c that day.

I put 4 frozen chicken backs in a bucket of water about 9am.and placed in the shade all day.

8pm that night I pulled them out and through habit smelled them.they were as fresh as the day I bought them.

In my eyes it's a perfect way to defrost all types of meat

I would reccomend putting a clean brick or some kind of weight on the meat.

To make sure it's totaly submerged.

Enjoy the sun.

They'll eat it frozen or semi frozen, I use a bucket myself but I'm not shy of giving them meat that's froze either

Dogs will happily eat frozen meat without any problems ... same as the ferrets I chuck in a frozen rabbit at night and take out the remains in the morning ... no flies no mess no smell ......

Buy your carcass and back fresh saves that messing about just bag it up quick Found you could see how much meat was actually on the carcass buying it fresh.

 

I give my dogs half frozen lamb chicken and beef does no harm at all apart from maybe makes there body work abit harder to digest I sometimes boil the kettle get it straight out the freezer scald it and straight down to them . I don't see wolves complaining when there eating a frozen carcass they seem to manage it ok.

None of us like to feed meat past its freshness but no harm will come if fly free .The water method is a good tip mate .I leave out overnight indoors on a tray

and fridge it before work .Will try the bucket though as will be right temp to feed IMO. Nice one king .
