Thigh Thawer - Green Living Tip Brought to you by Ideal Bite

Are the ice caps thawing faster than your frozen skinless breasts?

The Bite
Make no boneless legs about it, next time you thaw something from the freezer, stick it in the fridge the night before. Or, if you're crunched for time, immerse it in water or zap it in the microwave - either way, you'll cut(let) H2O waste from running them under the tap. Energy waste: Prepare to meat your match.

The Benefits
•    (Drum)sticking it to water waste. Regular faucets use 3-5 gallons per minute, so thawing out that chicken breast can drain a tank fast.
•    More money for giblets. You can save about $25 per year on your water bill by adopting this tip.
•    Getting a leg up on energy waste. If you normally run your frozen foods under hot water, you'll save a little power and money on water heating by sticking them in the fridge or immersing them in H2O instead.
