Which of these methods is not safe for thawing food?

Which of these methods is not safe for thawing food?  Question: Which of these methods is not safe for thawing food?  a. in the refrigerator  b. under cold running water  c. warm the food and hold at 135°f  d. as part of the cooking process Answer Is: D: Warm the food and hold at 135 F Explanation: Depending on what you are thawing, both a microwave and hot water wouldn't be recommended, like meat, if you ran raw meat under hot water or immediately in the microwave it is going to cook a bit but it will still be raw. Refrigerating is a safe way to thaw but it would take a day or a few to thaw your food, as well as cold water, cold water defrosts at a cool temperature not heating the foot / meat or whatever immediately. In this case I would say that the unsafe method would be running under hot water.   Related Question and Answer Which of these methods is NOT safe for cooling food Which of these is NOT considered a Potentially Hazardous Food How to Make ...
