    Having worked in several professional kitchens, I have to debunk this. You don’t throw unpacked, raw meat into a zink (with or without water) to thaw it. You leave it in the fridge, preferably in a closed container until it’s thawed. leaving it out in room temperature makes it a feast for bacteria.

      I’ve helped thaw chicken in cold water when I worked in a kitchen. Like I said though, we did it in a substantially cleaner container dedicated to the purpose of thawing meat. It was a giant pot meant for cooking pasta.
