How to Thaw Meat and Poultry Safely

Do you thaw meat or poultry by sitting it on your counter or in the sink? If you do, you could be putting you and your family at risk for getting a foodborne illness. It is important to select a safe thawing method. If you are in a hurry, it is safe to cook foods from the frozen state. Use a food thermometer to know that the meat and poultry have been cooked to a safe internal temperature.
