Lotta people apparently thaw meat on the countertop overnight. My mothers husband and his kids only really stopped when I went all “hello I literally have a food manage safety cert, please stop making me cry with this meat thing”
Lots of petting animals then cutting up food and such from other friends. Animals are not allowed in the food making area when food is being made. Cats might think they can go where they want but they are not allowed and learn or get locked up in the room with food and cat box. They then have learned. One use to watch from the door way and prance in when I said “done now”
I love that you hold the line with animals and you don’t subscribe to that fantasy that a lot of lazy pet owners do that you simply let them do what they want because they’re pets.
No, they are highly intelligent, and they only do what you let them.
I simply would not allow my cats anywhere near my room, they would hover at the threshold when they wanted something but they knew shit’s going to hit the fan if they set one foot in there.
And a dog from years ago, I loved her but I would not tolerate her being anywhere near me or begging when food came into the picture. I taught her through my consistent actions that she’s going to be sent away. So she learned to sit near me but always look elsewhere. If she’s so much as raised an eyebrow at me or turned towards me while I was eating, she got sent away.
It’s really easy to train pets you just have to not be the laziest in the world which apparently is most owners.
I just lost both of my dogs last month but I always had zero problem with them being in the kitchen. I would never feed them though purposefully, although obviously food gets accidentally dropped and one of them would usually clean it up( I know that’s not really healthy for them obviously). They knew better than to ever beg for food during cooking or dining
Eh I don’t even know what point I was trying to even make here. I think I just miss my dogs.
In the fridge! If it’s very large it can take awhile longer than overnight, but there’s other ways to thaw it safely. Cold running water (not over like… naked meat, its in a bag or the like), can thaw using a microwave if you don’t mind the texture sometimes being a bit worse. But usually just in the fridge works.

Meh. Dogs are basically garbage disposals LOL
You probably did well just by not reinforcing the negative behaviors and letting them get their scraps
Sorry you miss your dogs
How do you thaw meat overnight the right way? I’m vegetarian and honestly don’t know
