Granted it's usually done in something substantially cleaner, but this is pretty much how professional kitchens thaw frozen meat.

Edit: here's my faq so people can stop assuming things about this method of thawing meat.

  • this is safe to do. Meat is cooked at temperatures that kill all potential bacteria and parasites, even for steaks cooked medium rare.
  • this is generally done with the meat still in the packaging, unless there's a dedicated place to thaw meat. The thawing container is washed before and after each use.
  • it's always done with cold, running water to prevent the meat from thawing unevenly or unsafely.

In my experience, we left it in the packaging, and also the taps continued running as that helped speed it along. Strictly in cold water.

That sound marginally better but honestly I've never experienced a kitchen where it would be okay to thaw meat outside the fridge. This might be a Danish thing, but if the health inspector came by and saw that, the restaurant would probably get fined.
