My prawns haven't defrosted properly, is it ok to rinse them under hot water?

[sandyballs]

I vaguely remember doing this before and living to tell the tale.

no!!!

cold water is ok i think, (am willing to be corrected
)

think cold water mis fine

Cold (ish) water should defrost them in no time.

Cold water is ok, hot is not.

Cold water would be better I think

cold water

Ahhh, so cold water, not hot. Then can I just eat them? Not intending to cook them - dds want them in a jacket potato. Don't want to poison them.

that's taking sushi to the extreme LL

frozen? Really?

I don't think you can get poisoned from defrosted food, unless it's been defrosted for days.

nooooo....cold water.....takes about 5mins

ll....the fishy one should know, but cold is quick anyhoo.

If you will be eating them immediately adterwards I agree with cod.

Leaving them around warm, without them heating them to a vo hot temperature would indeed be a bit dodgy, but warm for two minutes will be fine - I don't think bacteria can multiply to dangerous levels in the two mins it would take to defost a prawn.

Or...pop them in the microwave for 10 secs.

Never hot water.... cold is ok though.

I do not have a food hygiene certificate, so you listen to me at your own risk.
