Can you cook fish that is only partially defrosted?
I am a chef and I think I know how to answer this. YES! Yes you can cook defrosted food. Just as long as you defrost it ALL THE WAY. You don't want to start cooking something (like chicken) that is partly frozen. Even just a little bit frozen.
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.

Microwaves themselves are not harmful for your health. They are a form of non-ionizing radiation that is generally safe for human exposure. However, it is important to follow safety guidelines when using a microwave, such as using microwave-safe containers and avoiding overheating food to prevent burns or potential chemical changes in the food. Overall, when used properly, microwaves are a convenient and safe way to cook and reheat food.
What are the benefits of using convection microwaves for cooking?
Convection microwaves cook food faster and more evenly than traditional microwaves. They also allow for browning and crisping of food, giving it a more appealing texture and taste. Additionally, convection microwaves are versatile and can be used for baking, roasting, and grilling in addition to regular microwave functions.
