Hello,
I'm concerned about defrosting my turkey. Mainly because of this food dangerzone. Now I had it in a pot of cold water was trying to replace the water every 30 minutes to be safe. But I then realized my tap water isn't even getting to below 40 F. When I realized this it had already been about 3-3.5 hours. So I put it in a pot of cold water in the freezer. now it's just in a pot inside my fridge.
But after that I began to realize. I dont think my fridge is even that cold. I know it can get pretty cold things have frozen that were in the back but i'm honestly not 100% postive now and rather concerned.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I being too over paranoid about this danger zone and taking it far too seriously?
