I was told by the butcher to always thaw in the refrigerator. He said the white meat gets tough and dry if you do it any other way. Has something to do with how the ice crystals form.

It is not recommended to thaw large items such as a whole chicken in the microwave just because it is so hard to thaw it all the way through without the outer layers starting to cook. Unfortunately, I think using the cold water method would be the quickest and safest way to thaw your whole chicken. Go to http://www.recipetips.com/kitchen-tips/t--378/thawing-chicken.asp for information on thawing methods for chicken. Sorry I could not provide a better alternative but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

Dehydrated Tomatoes
Has anyone dehydrated tomatoes before? I was wondering how to dry them. Do you just dry the tomatoes or do you have to season them or do anything special to them before you dry them? I have had them before and they are great to snack on.
