Thaw
- The process of moving frozen food to a temperature above freezing so it becomes soft and safe for cooking.
Thaw in the refrigerator for safest results.
For faster thawing, submerge in cold water; change water regularly.
Microwave if cooking immediately, but never refreeze microwaved food.
Avoid counter thawing for long periods to prevent bacterial growth.
Use smaller portions for quick, even thawing.
