The invention relates to a method of thawing one or more frozen blocks of meat, said blocks of meat being composed of units of meat frozen together. This object is achieved in that the frozen blocks of meat are placed in a drum of a massage system, said drum comprising carriers, and a liquid having a temperature higher than that of the frozen blocks of meat is supplied in the interior of the massage wings, and that brine having a temperature higher than that of the frozen blocks of meat is supplied to the drum. The drum rotates/revolves, and the blocks of meat are continuously broken up into smaller units of meat. Preferably, a negative pressure is established in the drum during thawing.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of thawing one or more frozen blocks of meat (1) having a temperature T1, said blocks of meat (1) being composed of units of meat (2) frozen together, the method comprising: placing the frozen blocks of meat (1) in a drum (4) of a massage system (3), said drum
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of thawing one or more frozen blocks of meat (1) having a temperature T1, said blocks of meat (1) being composed of units of meat (2) frozen together, the method comprising: placing the frozen blocks of meat (1) in a drum (4) of a massage system (3), said drum (4) having carriers (5), supplying a liquid (6) having a temperature T2, in the interior of the carriers (5), said temperature being higher than T1, said supply liquid (6) generating a temperature T3, on a surface of the carriers (5), said temperature T3 being higher than T1, establishing a negative pressure in the drum (4), supplying brine having a temperature T4, to an interior of the drum (4), said temperature T4, being higher than T1, rotating/revolving the drum, causing the blocks of meat (1) and the brine to get into physical contact with the heated carriers (5), so as to thaw the one or more frozen blocks of meat contained therein, and, reducing a boiling point of the brine to prevent overheating of the meat by providing the negative pressure within the drum during rotation thereof. 2. The method according to claim 1, characterized in that the brine is supplied to the drum (4) under the negative pressure established therein. 3. The method according to claim 1 further comprising supplying sufficient heat to the frozen blocks of meat (1) and to the brine to cause individual frozen blocks of meat (1) to be broken up into several and separate units of meat (2). 4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the difference between T1, and T4, is 2-4° C. 5. The method according to claim 1 wherein T2, is in the range 10-40° C. 6. The method according to claim 1 wherein T4, is lower than or equal to T2. 7. The method according to claim 1 wherein T3 is lower than or equal to T2. 8. The method according to claim 1 wherein the liquid (6) supplied to the carriers (5) is water. 9. The method according to claim 1 wherein the drum (4) continues to rotate/revolve after the blocks of meat (1) have been broken up into units of meat (2). 10. The method according to claim 3 wherein the drum (4) continues to rotate/revolve after the blocks of meat (1) have been broken up into units of meat (2). 11. The method according to claim 1 wherein the carriers (5) are constructed asymmetrically, having a soft impact side and a hard impact side, and further comprising changing the direction of revolution of the drum during rotation, whereby the blocks of meat (1) and the units of meat (2) separated therefrom are caused to contact either the soft impact sides or the hard impact sides of the carriers (5). 12. The method according to claim 3 wherein the carriers (5) are constructed asymmetrically, having a soft impact side and a hard impact side with respect to a direction of rotation, and further comprising changing the direction of revolution of the drum during rotation, whereby the blocks of meat (1) and the units of meat (2) separated therefrom are caused to contact either the soft impact sides or the hard impact sides of the carriers (5). 13. The method of claim 6, wherein the temperature difference between T4 and T2 ranges from 1-2° C. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein the temperature difference between T2 and T3 ranges from 1-2° C.
