- How cold is the water? How much water is there? How much food is there?
- What type of food is it? How hot/cold is the air in the room where the
- food is being thawed? Are the air currents? Is the food cut-up before
- thawing? How non-frozen does the food have to be to be considered thawed?

- Inquiring minds couldn't care less.

- Use the microwave, or even a conventional oven. Use HOT water. Put it into
- a pot of boiling water on the stove, even (can use it for soup, or stock,
- or gravy later, or something.) Seriously, hot water would be my method o'
- choice, unless there's some reason why you don't want the food immersed in
- water for any length of time, in which case, some place with warm, moving
- air would do the job fine.
