basically there are three modes of heat transfer. Convection - through waves like air and win, fans. Conduction - through contact. Ratiation - like heat from the sun conduction transfers heat faster than convection by putting the meat in water your switching the mode of heat transfer transfer from convection to conduction.
It is best to thaw in cold water so that it doesn't cook the meat.
Yes it does, as meat does not melt.
A few hours. As long as the meat is thawing it will be fine to leave it out. If you put it in warm water it will thaw quicker. As the water cools replace it with warm water. The meat will thaw 65% faster this way. Happy cooking :)
The best way to thaw meat is to transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw there. The next best way is by putting the frozen meat in cold water to thaw, and change the water every 30 minutes until it is thawed.
It should be thawed in a fridge, but if you are in a hurry, then put it in a sink filled with cold water. This is faster than no water and safer.

It will affect the taste of the final product. Warm water will equally thaw the food. Hot water will thaw out the outside before the inside is thawed. One should never thaw meat in water unless you are going to cook it in water. It removes some of the taste in the food Thawing meat in water will decrease the nutritional value of the meat as the nutrients are lost in the water. Furthermore it is not recommended to thaw meat in still water as it will increase the microbial growth. Rather thaw in the fridge or microwave or if you must use water rather thaw under running water (this is safer than still water).
Yes, you can boil chicken to thaw it out. Although it is better to thaw meat like this in cold water. Thawing by boiling will make the chicken really fall apart when baked.
It is not safe, because you don't know what type of bacteria is living in your sink. It is best to thaw meat in the refrigerator.
As thawing means inreasing the temprature slowly,so the frozen item will be thawedin a medium way wirh more cold water. As the temprature of the cold water is higher than the frozen item,it can be medium way dont think it might be faster..
thaw is when you are trying to unfreeze meat
The best way to thaw it out is to thaw it in the refrigerator. You should not just leave it on the counter. You could also defrost it in the microwave. Using a cold water bath could work only if the package is completely sealed. A little water on the meat won't hurt anything. The meat won't absorb the water. It will just evaporate during the reheating. I've thawed whole chickens in cold water. Your raw chicken meat should be washed anyway.
