If there is not enough time for refrigerator defrosting, is there a safe way to speed defrosting?

There are two methods: cold water and microwaving. The first is to place the food in a leakproof plastic bag if its original wrapping is not watertight. Submerge the bag in a large bowl or sink of cold water. Be sure the water stays cold while the food is thawing. Or defrost the food in a microwave oven following the manufacturer's directions. When micro-defrosting, always cook the meat as soon as it is defrosted since parts of the food can become warm. Do not refreeze raw foods defrosted by these two methods unless the meat is cooked first.
