Food should be defrosted in the microwave under cold-running water or?
Food can be defrosted under cold water, or in the microwave (although microwave settings vary), or ideally in the refrigerator.
How do you safely thaw out frozen food?
The safest place to defrost frozen food is under refrigeration. Food can be defrosted under cold water, or in the microwave (although microwave settings vary), or ideally in the refrigerator. If you are going to cook it right away, a lower setting on the oven can sometimes be used. Obviously, it depends on the type of food. Vegetables can be defrosted in the fridge, on the countertop if they are cut into pieces, or the ziploc bag can be soaked in water if you want to hasten the process. The same can be done with meat, except for the larger pieces of meat, which generally need to be defrosted in the refrigerator for 24 hours, and then brought out of the refrigerator, and left at room temperature for an hour before cooking. For smaller pieces of meat, you can defrost them in the microwave, but you have to be careful about accidentally cooking pieces on the meat. Cheese can be easily defrosted in the microwave, as long as you keep an eye on it. Instructions on frozen meat and fish packages often say to thaw in the refrigerator. That keeps it from spending too much time at room temperature where bacteria grow best. Frozen vegetables don't matter as much. If your food preparation method (recipe) allows for it, you can also put the frozen food directly into a pot for cooking, microwave it, or do it in an oven.
