![]() In the Summer I don't think twice about tossing a frozen steak on the grill. In fact, I haven't seen any reason why not to as they come out perfect (well, for my taste anyway). But it's Winter so the outdoor grill is out of the question. Has anyone had luck with a frozen roast in the oven? I mean, it sounds reasonable but is it? I didn't take anything out last night and have roast beef on my mind... -- Cheers Dennis Remove 'Elle-Kabong' to reply |

Otherwise, the outside will cook too much, while the inside is still cold or frozen. Meat is not a particularly good conductor of heat. You will need to warm the outside no faster thant he heat can conduct through the roast. -- In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.

Since a roast is solid (and a bird is hollow), you might have to roast it for an hour, turn the heat off for an hour to let the middle finish thawing, then continue roasting as normal. Bob |

It works especially well with Braised Pot Roast - don't forget to brown the meat first. Dimitri |

Not to imply anything against using the oven, but I have to ask - unless it's lost in a snow drift or some such, why is the outdoor grill "out of the question"? Bob M. |

Frozen roasts, yes I've had good success. This is my preferred method unless doing the roast on the barbeque. I wouldn't do it with prime rib or steak though. The best steak is brought to room temp before cooking. > > > |

If they defrost, the juice runs out and you have dry steak. I have also cooked frozen roasts for the same reason. You want the juice inside the meat when you start, not in a defrosting pan.

There is also another method...
Before you freeze meat, you can marinate them. For example: a cup of olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin. mix and add meat. then pack and freeze in the freezer. When you want to cook or grill. Put on pan or grill when it is frozen. (as stated before frozen meat won't lose juice). With this method your meat will be more delicious as the days pass during the freezer ![]() is a real method used frequently here. It works on all kinds of meat. Best Regards, Aydin. |
