    Fair enough but when I worked in the restaurant industry, a periodic visit/inspection from the FDA warned us NOT to defrost sealed plastic packaged food in hot/warm water because something something bacterial growth.

      Because people might forget about it and not know how long it’s been in the danger zone.

      It’s fine to do at home, as long as you don’t do the same and poison yourself.

      It basically comes down to: are you as capable as a moderately intelligent child?

      Ok was the food laying around after defrosting?

      Or what was the logic here?
