There are three convenient ways to defrost frozen meat, in the refrigerator, in moving water, or in the microwave.
The best (from the safety point of view) is in the refrigerator. But size is important as well. If you have a small hamburger patty the microwave can work well, but the microwave has a tendency to cook outer portions of meat before the inner portions are defrosted. A pound of ground round (hamburger meat) can be defrosted in the microwave if you use the defrost setting and remove defrosted meat as you go. And then cook immediately.
Defrosting in water is reasonable if you can put your frozen food in a waterproof plastic bag with the air pressed out and place it in a pot and keep a stream of cold water running through the pot. You have to watch this process and don't let defrosted meat linger in the pot. Make use of your defrosted meat immediately.
If you have the time or your defrosting job is larger than a pound, refrigerator defrosting is the safest and easiest; just plan ahead.
