" It's the Thanksgiving nightmare scenario. You go to the refrigerator Thursday morning and realize your 15-pound turkey is still a frozen block. But food-safety experts have a solution, one that will not only will get dinner on the table by 3 p.m., but that's also a lot safer than trying to soak Mr. Tom in a sink of hot water (and potentially splash salmonella juice all over your kitchen).
