    Thank you! JUST THANK YOU! I just want to say THANK YOU! I worked in the meat department of a local retail grocer for FOUR YEARS and the ENTIRE TIME I was bombarded, harassed, and nagged on about fresh, never frozen fish, seafood, or meats. Too often I was cold shouldered or treated with hostility over the fact that the vast majority of our line-up was flash frozen or cryo and for some cocked up reason everyone thought it was bad. I am GLAD I am out of that business!

    Problem is the liquid needed to freeze an item is not present in all foods. He uses fish as the prime example, but it is the most watery food on the planet, so the results don’t apply the same to other much more solid foods. - - The nutrients themselves need to be put under the microscope and seen whether or not they can endure the elements. If such a thing is even possible.

    Very awesome video! Just a super quick nerdy thing about the defrosting in running water, while the water is more thermally conductive, the main contributor to the faster defrosting is because the fluid is not stationary. When in a stationary/static fluid, the layer of fluid around the frozen food will drop in temperature, and since it doesn't move, this layer will actually insulate from the rest of the warmer water. The running water ensures that the fluid moves, and that there is less of a insulating layer around the frozen food.

    YEP, this is why air itself is a thermal insulator, but its convection that's responsible for most of the heat transfer. Its why when its not windy at all you can stand outside in 30F in a t-shirt and not feel too cold. Vapor in general is less thermally conductive. In our thermal fluids lab back in college, we had experiments simulating freezing embyros cryogenically using liquid nitrogen vs. a higher temperate slush. It was neat stuff and a basic demonstration of Ladenfrost effect.

    One tip if you don't want to waste water with running the faucet, if you have a sous vide, you can just set the temp to something low like 35 f or whatever (just so it doesn't heat and end up cooking it) so it just runs the water circulator. Tried it out myself and it worked like a charm :3

    I recently discovered that for thawing meat my sous vide machine is great. It circulates the water, which I can keep at room temperature, and so it doesn't use much energy. This thaws just as fast as the sink method, and I save even more water, because I very rarely change the water in my sous vide container. Most flash frozen meat is vacuum sealed in thick plastic, so it lasts a long time in the freezer, and it's great to just chuck in there for a quick thaw without worry of my unchanged container water touching my food.

Always have to go better than dad. lol) Now I have a question hopefully you or someone can answer, or give even better advice. Besides salt and pepper should you season your meat before you cook or wait until you are browning the meat after cooking. Anyone can answer this question and I'm sure there can be more than one answer. Thanks.

    What I’ve found works well, and what I’ve gotten from watching other you tube channels about it, is that Seasonings/spices and aromatics (e.g. thyme, rosemary, sage, etc.) are all good in the bag before sous vide. And I would definitely recommend seasoning before, as the browning/searing stage is short, time wise. The thing you shouldn’t add to the sous vide bag is fat (like oil or butter). If you want to use oil or butter during the browning/searing part, then that’ll definitely serve you best. Before putting the meat in the sous vide bag, season well and season all sides for larger pieces of meat. You can chuck aromatics in before you seal up the bag, they just need to be in the bag to do their job. You can still add a light amount of finishing salt or pepper once it’s done and on the plate, but taste first, you might not need it.

    The environmental bonus we could find from moving towards flash freezing food of all kind might be unimaginable. The amount of food that is wasted in grocery stores alone because foods stopped being "fresh" because we keep them out in slightly refrigerated conditions for days is honestly disgusting. I don't mean imagine how disgusting it is, I mean I've had to throw out a lot of meat at a store before and it is disgusting. Just thinking about how flash frozen meats would lower waste, lower livestock, just be great for the environment.

    Electrix, “EST” is Eastern Standard Time, just as PST is Pacific Standard Time. But we’re not currently in standard time. We’re still in daylight savings time. So, it was 3:21 Eastern Daylight Time (“EDT”), rather than standard time. Everyone knew what you meant, but, technically, divaD is right.

    Most, if not all, industrial wielding suppliers carry nitrogen to refill nitrogen bottles. In this case, it helps that I know the guy so he basically handles it for me. But what he does it throw my stuff I want froze in a stainless steel box and fogs it with nitrogen. I've also done it myself where I get a flask of it from him and submerge the vacuum sealed bags in to it in a bowl. Never use plastic. It will break and I learned it the hard way. I don't advise doing it that way or doing yourself since liquid nitrogen is dangerous. But, if you want to get results similar, you can get a good cooler like an orca or similar and pack dry ice 360° of what ever you want frozen. Takes about 15 to 30 minutes to solid freeze things but works just as well.

    Had to learn about freezer burn - I had surmised on my own over the years that it's related to exposure to air and apparently wrapping/vacuum packing meat helps prevent "the burn" but I never actually learned what the science behind it was. I gleaned that once ice crystals had started forming on the surface, the snowy looking ice specifically, that the flesh is burned. I went through 3 videos before this one trying to learn information I probably could've googled faster but I'm glad I ended up here because I found a great new channel to subscribe to.

    Adam, Great content as always! I think one thing to note is that an immersion circulator (sous vide thingy) could help cut down on water waste compared to the "trickle method" in this video. They are built to circulate water around the food which you mention is essential for defrosting while using the same batch of water. This can be done at a steady temperature from 75 to 90 degrees thanks to the heating element. I rarely use mine anymore for conventional "sous vide cooking" (thanks in part to your steak videos) but I do find it's useful for making quicker "cold brew" coffee and for defrosting food. If you defrost something using this method once a week you'd save over 200 gallons of water a year according to your data, so I think it's worth noting for your environmentally conscious audience!
