- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoIt was just an example, but since you mentioned it, that perfectly points out what I meant about convenience. I can stick a package of meat in the microwave and hit a couple buttons and then go do something else instead of running water for a few seconds until it heats up, possibly having to fill the sink or a bowl and put the meat in. All of which takes more time and effort for basically the same result.
- ip26 3y agoI find it more convenient to use water because I have to watch the thawing meat in the microwave like a hawk; it’s very easy to cook the edges on accident. The center also stays more frozen. To each their own.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoAgain, I'm not thawing meat!!! I'm making it easier to remove from the packaging.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoIf you're patient, you could also use cold water :) It seems to me that time management is a bigger part of food preparation than any specific technique for cutting or cooking.
