    Way back when I worked in catering, we were told that the safest way to defrost meat quickly was in a bowl of cool water, as it will warm up evenly without getting too hot. It wasn't advised to defrost it under the tap as the splashes of water would spread any contamination. I have no idea if that's still the correct advice though.

    People are also very strange about defrosting chicken breasts and won't even cook them if they are still a little frozen.
    We once got some cooked takeaway chicken and were a good distance away in the car, when we started tucking into it and found that the insides of the chicken pieces were frozen. :eek: Remarkably, we weren't ill.
