Pretty much the same here-but, I’ll one-up you and state- my mom used to thaw out raw meat on the counter, too!
Wait, we’re not supposed to do that? I let meat thaw on the counter all the time. We’re not constantly sick so I guess I’m doing something right.
I never let it 100% thaw. I get it when it’s still cold to the touch but thawed enough to cook. Then it goes in the fridge til I’m ready to cook it.
Same. I've been thawing frozen meat on the counter for decades. So did my mother and grandmother. No one ever died or even got sick.
I'll gross people out a little more. A few times I caught the cat licking the meat while it was thawing.
