no bananaFood safety rule
rockSlayerGranted it’s usually done in something substantially cleaner, but this is pretty much how professional kitchens thaw frozen meat.
Which restaurant is that? Just want to know so I can avoid spending the day in the toilet vomiting and shitting.
agamemnonymousServSafe, who does industry standard food safety certifications, condones defrosting frozen foods this way, submerged in cool running water. It’s perfectly safe, although the method shown in the original picture will require cleaning the whole sink as raw. As stated, usually this is done with the food wrapped in plastic and placed in a smaller container.
