Read your microwave instruction manual about defrosting foods.
Also, if you freeze a lot of ground beef, freeze it with as much surface
area as you reasonably can; i.e., a slab that's a 1/2" thick rather than
one that is 1" thick. Also, if you can freeze (relatively short term)
your meat - chops, chicken parts, in a freezer-weight ziploc baggie,
thaw it (sealed) in a sink/pan/bucket of cool water - it will thaw
faster. That's one reason I like the vac seal bags - thawing them in a
container of water. Change the water a couple times.
