well, my family is the opposite of anal, so this is what we do.
take the frozen meat out, clean and put a stopper in the sink. Then run cold water. Leave out for a while.
And we haven't died yet ^_^

Frozen lamb chops go straight in my pressure cooker and make a lovely stew.
Chicken-I take out in the evening and cook in the morning. I just shove it on a plate overnight.
Beef tastes crap after it's been frozen.
And so does fish. |

I didn't know whether to put this thread here or in the Science General given that it has to do with Food Safety, but here you. My mother and I have been aruging about something for a while now and I was wondering your thoughts on the matter:
I, being an emetophobe, am hugely anal rentantive about food storage and preperation. As such, I feel that meat should be thawed in the refrigerator and if it needs to be rapidly defrosted, to do it in the microwave. My mother feels it is perfectly safe to allow meat to defrost on the counter.
Now mabye I'm wrong, but everything I've read and cooks/chefs from various cooking message boards that I've lurked on have all strongly recommended against thawing meat on the counter as it is a perfect environment for harmful bacteria to reproduce.
Her and I have agreed to disagree and on the days that I cook, we defrost meat the way I perfer to do it, and when I'm not there she defrosts meat her way. She hasn't gotten ill as a result of it of her way of defrosting meat so I have to wonder if what the USDA and everyone has been telling me has been correct.
What do you guys think? |
Everyone has to say these things today to protect their own arses from being sued.

You can thaw it whatever way you like... any contamination, during which, will die when you cook the food.
Obviously dont let your dog play with it ans such before cooking.
