Happy Thanksgiving! What are you gonna be eating for dinner? :beer:

We'll be having a nice spiral cut ham with potatoes au gratin, mashed potatoes, macoroni, corn, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and apple and pumpkin pies 😀

I don't know, I'm going to a friend's house so it will be a complete surprise. I'm sure it will be great whatever it is. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's finally Turkey Day in the Central Time Zone. Happy Thanksgiving! Ham? Oy zeh Goyim.

My turkey isn't defrosted yet. Gotta wake up in 5 hrs and put it in hot water.

Dethawing it in hot water is a no-no, use only cold. You're playing bacterial roulette otherwise. A turkey in cold water will thaw out at a rate of about 30 minutes a pound.

You are doing the same if you defrost it in cold water.

You do realize that spoilage bacteria still grow even at refrigeration temperatures right? Cold water defrosting will have temperatures higher than refrigeration as the turkey approaches room temperature.

Really my life's got sufficient complexity to not examine the particulars of bacterial growth on dead birds. I follow the advice of those that do study this ad nauseum, however, and have provided a link. Maybe you could send them a letter with your thanksgiving day hypothesis?

And I've read your link. What their studies show (if they had even done any) may find that defrosting in cold water is safe, but I prefer to avoid any possible foodborne illnesses by defrosting in the fridge.

I would concur with that recommendation, but he's got about 12 hours to do it in. A 16lb bird would thaw out in a fridge in about 4 days.

Cold water is the only action for him if he's not serving birdcicles to his victims this holiday season.



 
b/f decided at 10:30PM this even that he wants us to go by his parents. So, here I am at 1:30AM making a meat sauce. sausages, meatballs, pork, simmering slowly in fresh ground plum tomatoes, ground sirloin, herbs and garlic.

should be done in another hour and i can go to bed, wake up early and make lasagna.

Whoopiee!!
