What is the right way to thaw potentially hazardous foods such as beef or pork?
The right way to thaw potentially hazardous foods such as beef or pork is to place it in the refrigerator.

How can you thaw frozen shredded coconut?
How you would thaw frozen food depends greatly on the type of food. For meats, the best way is to move the meat from the freezer to the refrigerator and allow it thaw there. You should calculate the time it will require to thaw and move it to the fridge to allow for that time before you need to cook it. You can also thaw frozen meats by placing it in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until the meat is thawed. If you have a microwave oven, you can thaw foods in it, using the defrost cycle. Some meats, such as a roast, can go straight from the freezer to the oven. It will thaw first, then cook, so you need to adjust your cooking time to reflect the extra time it will require to thaw. The least safest way to thaw some foods is to allow it to sit on the counter at room temperature until it thaws.

Can you leave leftovers at room temperature for no more then five hours?
When I think back I can remember my parents leaving food out overnight to thaw for the next day. The ability to eat potentially hazardous food depends entirely on your immunity to bacteria. The more you are sheltered from bacteria the less you can withstand it. Some foods will last longer than others. If you can heat the food to 165 F before eating (all reheated food should be) you could be fine, although the bacteria could have formed toxins that won't be destroyed by cooking. You are much better off not leaving leftovers that are potentially hazardous at room temperature for that long. If you do have any questions regarding food safety, reference HACCP guidlines and the Model Food Code. They're used by health inspectors. They're stricter then you have to go by, but it's a start.
