I really really hate defrosting in a Microwave. It makes the meat icky and takes flavor away. Plus to defrost the middle part the outer gets half cooked.
It is horrid.
So, I just take meat out to defrost the old fashioned way. But, the meat does not always defrost completely - especially in the winter.
There had to be something better then a microwave to defrost in less the leaving it during an afternoon to try to defrost.
So, I looked on Amazon and sure enough! there were these defrosting 'mats'.
I got Cuisinart since it's a brand I do use and know to be good. And the price was really good.
When I got it I was confused at first. It was just this metal piece and nothing else.
I saw no batteries or plug in were needed.
The next day I defrosted a steak on it. Again confused. The metal did not get warm. It was just like it was before I put the steak on it. But, I just left the steak.
An Hour later the bottom looked like quite a bit had defrosted. I turned it over. And the whole steak was defrosted about a half hour later.
The metal never got warm. It was like it always was but, somehow it defrosted my steak. Nicely.
I did put a towel under it because the pictures always had one and I thought maybe I should.
The 'mat' cleaned up easy. Just quick and easy.
This is an amazing product. I wish it was something more known to people. Imagine the working people if they were aware of this and could defrost stuff after work and not have to resort to a microwave. I do know alot of people are like me and hate microwave defrosting.
Anyway, this simple easy little metal mat does magic.

It works but doesn’t look pretty
I have had my Cuisinart thawing plate for about 9 months. It does the job very well, however it looks awful. I use it maybe twice a month.

It's made of highly conductive food safe aluminum.
Set ice or meat on it and it thaws it out. Starts working immediately. Quality is great. Size is not too big where it takes up too much counter space while thawing. Looks great! Very light. Defrosts quickly and clean up is easy.
