Thawing Food on Counter
Posted on 9/6/21 at 12:26 pm

My girlfriend's aunt thaws meat - steaks, pork loin, ribs, etc. - on the counter all night (for 5-7 hours at a time) to the point where the food is lukewarm before she cooks it.
I've mentioned to her several times how unsafe this is and she simply responds with that's how she always done it. The worst part is that she is feeding it to my kid.
Am I dick for not eating it? What else can I do besides throwing the stuff away before she cooks it?

No need to leave it out all night, put it in the fridge when you go to bed, pull it back out in the morning if needed. But sometimes we forget. It's fine, we cook it.

Mind your own business and let her cook the way she wants. If you don’t want your
Kid eating it, say so.

No you’re not a dick, but you come off as a huge pussy. Especially if you throw out her groceries. That’s such a Bitch move I’m wondering if you are trolling.

A frozen pork loin is “lukewarm” in 5-7 hours?

I thaw frozen foods by moving them into the refrigerator but thawing them in the sink under cold running water is another way to go. I wouldn’t thaw anything with any mass by leaving it out on the counter but it wouldn’t freak me out if someone else did that.

There are only two acceptable ways to thaw food in the restaurant world
In the cooler or completely submerged in cool water with a drip running from the faucet.
