Hi-Tech Thanksgiving Turkey Help
If you’re reading this from a computer somewhere inside the US, you’re likely either already stuffed with Turkey or drooling in anticipation. If you’re outside the US, you’re probably wondering why half the blogs you read have gone to sleep–it’s the effects of the Turkey! 
For Americans, cooking Thanksgiving dinner is a way to celebrate our freedom from the British. But anytime you are cooking a big meal for lots of people... unfortunately something is bound to get messed up.
This hi-tech cooking assistance fills a growing need that has boomed recently due to the popularity of hobby cooking. Food TV shows, podcasts like Stump The Chef, and web sites are inspiring more and more people to try their hand in the kitchen. The only problem is... the average person doesn't really know how to cook anymore.So the next time you are wondering how to cook a frozen turkey in one afternoon or why your flourless cake never cooked all the way through, professional help might be just one IM or email away. But before you start chatting with chefs online, you might want to brush up on your chatroom and IM lingo. Think I'm overreacting? Well, ROTFL TAFN NRN L8R! AAB!

Bacteria can grow on a turkey that is defrosting at room temperature. While many people believe that cooking the turkey will kill the bacteria, this isn't always the case, Snider said. Toxins such as those produced by Staphylooccus aureus can't be destroyed at medium oven temperatures. To defrost your turkey safely, keep it in the refrigerator, allowing one day for every 5 pounds of turkey. For a speedier thaw, use the cold-water method. Submerge your wrapped turkey in cold water and add ice or more cold water every 30 minutes. A 16-pound turkey can defrost within nine hours using this method.
