Frequently Asked Questions
How does cold water thawing work for turkey?
The turkey stays in its original wrapping, submerged in cold water that is changed every 30 minutes, thawing much faster than refrigerator thawing.
How long does cold water thawing take for a 14 pound turkey?
At about 30 minutes per pound, a 14 pound turkey takes about 7 hours to thaw in cold water.
Is cold water thawing safe?
Yes, as long as the water is kept cold, at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and changed every 30 minutes, and the turkey is cooked immediately after thawing.
