Meat releases protein-rich, salty liquid that is absorbed more slowly than water. Pads for meat need salt-tolerant polymer and enough capacity for the full thaw cycle.
Seafood often releases more total liquid, including meltwater from ice glazing. Volume is usually the dominant requirement, and odour management matters more.
Fish and shellfish often sit unevenly and contact the pad over a smaller area. Pads with good liquid spreading in the core handle this better than pads that absorb only where liquid lands.
Because the liquid profiles differ, pads for meat and seafood should be specified separately. One design rarely serves both well.
