    … Isn’t the centerpiece the fact that you SHOULDN’T thaw food in hot water, because of bacteria?

      I don’t use TikTok and wasn’t sure if this was real so I just assumed we were talking about submerging packaged frozen food in warm water.

        Me neither, but yeah, I’m making the same assumption.

        So like, a bag of chicken frozen into a block… Thawing it in hot water WILL make it thaw faster, but it will also make the bacteria grow faster. Don’t do that.
