Most thawing instructions I have seen for shrimp is to not quick thaw under running water. That can make the shrimp pick up water and literally water-down the flavor. Hot water thawing is not recommended for the same reasons and could result in even more water absorption. Usually, though, the main concern with thawing out food in hot water is that the outside gets warm enough to grow bacteria before the inside thaws.
Yes, chicken can be safely thawed in a sink with cold water. Make sure to seal the chicken in a leak-proof bag to prevent contamination, and change the water every 30 minutes to ensure it stays cold. Thawing with cold water is faster than thawing in the refrigerator but still keeps the chicken at a safe temperature to prevent bacterial growth.
As long as you use a water conditioner that treats both chlorine and chloramines there is nothing wrong with using sink or tap water in your aquarium.
You can defrost them in hot water in the sink if you plan to cook them right away. If not, defrost them in the refrigerator over night.
The sink drain is plugged,or you have the dishwasher hose hooked up in wrong place.
I assume you mean when you turn on the sink water comes up from the drain in the tub? If that's the case, the drain from the tub is clogged. The sink is higher than the tub so the water comes up there.
Sounds like the trap in the sink is getting the water pulled out of it. It probably wasn't vented properly.
the mass of the paper clip weighs too much for the buoyant force of the water to push up to the surface of the water. wrong
Maple syrup will sink but water is unable to sink because it is water.
the water sink is not solid and liquid
Leave it wrapped and defrost in the refrigerator. Or, put it, unwrapped, in a pot large enoughto hold it. Put the pan with the chicken in it, into the sink. Fill with cool water and run cool water over it until thawed. Cook immediately after thawing is complete.
Arsenic is denser than water, so it will sink in pure water.
Silicon will sink in water because it has a higher density than water.
