Question

Answer 1

"The thaw food on the counter" is not a way to prevent food-borne illnesses according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Thawing food at room temperature can allow bacteria to grow. Instead, it is recommended to thaw food in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave.
