Time and temperature control can be effectively used to safely thaw food by either thawing it in the refrigerator, under cold running water, or in the microwave. Thawing in the refrigerator allows for a slow and controlled thawing process, while thawing under cold running water can speed up the process. Thawing in the microwave should be done on a low power setting to prevent uneven thawing and potential bacterial growth. It is important to never thaw food at room temperature, as this can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria.
Thawing fish in the microwave is not recommended as it can lead to uneven thawing and potential food safety risks. It is safer to thaw fish in the refrigerator or under cold running water.
When thawing food under cold running water, the water temperature should be kept at or below 70°F (21°C) to ensure safety. This method helps to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can occur if food is left in the temperature danger zone, which is between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C). The food should be cooked immediately after thawing to further minimize any food safety risks.
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.
Thawing fish in warm water is not safe because it can promote bacterial growth. It is recommended to thaw fish in the refrigerator or under cold running water to prevent foodborne illness.
The Cornish hen, or Cornish Game Hen is actually a small chicken. The primary difference between a Cornish hen and a chicken is the age at which they are processed. Cornish hens are typically butchered around 5-6 weeks, and under 2 pounds in weight. Fryer chickens are processed around 13 weeks of age.
No, it is not a good idea. Thawing in the microwave speeds up bacterial growth. Any kind of meat that reaches room temperature should be cooked immediately, you can then freeze it. The only time you can refreeze meat is if it is still very cold or still partially frozen.

There is a breed of chickens call "Cornish" But the name cornish game hen, refers to any bird/chicken slaughtered when it is less than 4-5 weeks of age- they will weigh usually under 2#
To safely thaw breast milk, follow these rules: 1. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or under warm running water. 2. Do not use a microwave or boiling water. 3. Gently swirl the milk to mix the fat layers before feeding.
In the microwave only if you are cooking them immediately as the microwave will warm the pork and it will stay warm and bacteria can accumulate in and on them and make you sick. The best way is not always the fastest but the safest way to insure that the product is not tainted it to thaw then under cold running clean water from your faucet in the kitchen. Clean out your sink first or place the chops in a clean container in the sink with the water running continuously over them. It doesn't have to be running fast even a trickle will work. Called by professionals as defrosting in a potable water supply in a sanitary container,
