Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Perishable foods should never be thawed on the counter, or in hot water and must not be left at room temperature for more than two hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -Don’t let your food defrost on the counter. Defrosting food at room temperature allows bacteria to grow, which could increase your chance of getting food poisoning. Before you defrost your frozen meat, you should check the packaging.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sounds smart, but it’s not safe. Any foods that can go bad–like raw or cooked meat, poultry, and eggs–must thaw at safe temperatures. When frozen food gets warmer than 40 degrees or is at room temperature for more than 2 hours, it’s in the danger zone where bacteria multiply quickly.
