Question

which is not an acceptable method to thaw frozen food? possible answers: a)storing in the fridge b) placing under running hot water c) cooking directly from frozen state d) using a microwave

Explanation:

Storing in the fridge (A) is safe as it keeps food at a cold temperature to prevent bacterial growth. Cooking directly from frozen (C) is acceptable for many foods if adjusted for cooking time. Using a microwave (D) is safe if the food is cooked immediately after thawing. Placing under running hot water (B) is unsafe because it can cause the outer layers of food to reach temperatures where bacteria multiply rapidly before the center thaws, increasing foodborne illness risk. Thus, it is not an acceptable thawing method.

Answer:

B) Placing under running hot water
