re: Thawing Food on Counter

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.

I do the cold water thing most often as well, but that's because I'm doing last minute thawing in those situations.

If I plan ahead, it is almost always the fridge. I just leave it on the counter next to the fridge for about an hour before it goes in if it's only the night before I need it, because it's very common for things to still be frozen solid if I don't.
