Do cooked foods thaw out faster than frozen foods?

Here's why:

* Cooked food is already thawed. It's been heated and the water molecules are no longer frozen.

* Frozen food is, well, frozen. It needs to thaw before you can cook it.

So, it's not a matter of which thaws faster, but rather:

* Cooked food is already thawed and ready to eat.

* Frozen food needs to thaw before you can cook it.

The time it takes to thaw frozen food depends on the type of food, its size, and the thawing method. It's important to thaw frozen food safely to prevent bacteria growth.
