Buying meat (which includes fish…I don’t know why people think fish isn’t meat) on sale or purchasing it frozen is a great way to save money, but many people complain about defrosting later. I never worry about defrosting. All I do is put the meat on the stove, cover it, and set the heat to low. It cooks thoroughly without burning and without wasting my time with defrosting. Here’s some salmon I have cooking up right now, photographed after I flipped it:

Because it’s frozen and can be icy, it creates extra steam under the lid, which appears to prevent the meat from drying out (I suppose it’s because you’re cooking it with moist heat instead of allowing all that moisture to escape).

Anyway, just a nice tip to keep your meals cheap to purchase and quick to prepare. Feel free to reblog this and add to it, or you can post to /r/CheapHealthyFood with your own food tips.
