- bambax 5y agoVery much depends on what you're defrosting. A piece of meat frozeon at -20C will not defrost in 5 minutes under warm water.
- mnw21cam 5y agoIt mostly depends on how large (or rather how thick) the chunk is. If you're talking about wafer-thin slices of salmon, then it'll defrost in about 30 seconds in cold water, even if it was frozen at -20C. If you're talking about a whole large turkey, then it'll probably take more than a day.
