Thawing frozen foods with cold water in your sink works well, but uses a lot of water. Instead, culinary website The Cook’s Thesaurus suggests putting those foods (in a waterproof freezer bag) in the washing machine, filling it with cold water, and using the delicate setting; the agitation and cold water will defrost the food quickly.Photo by Andrew Kelsall.
Make sure you don’t let the washer go into the spin cycle, and keep in mind that if you thaw food using cold water methods you must cook it immediately, unlike thawing in the refrigerator where you have a day or two.
