Place the mince meat in the refrigerator until fully thawed
Keep it in a sealed container or on a plate to prevent leaks
Submerge the sealed package in cold water and change the water every 30 minutes
Use the microwave defrost setting if cooking it immediately after thawing
Cook mince meat directly from frozen if needed, breaking it up as it cooks
Never defrost mince meat at room temperature
Use thawed mince meat promptly and do not refreeze it unless cooked first
