As we learned from Harold McGee who reports at the NY Times:
The recommended method of thawing frozen meat overnight in the fridge but this requires planning. The second recommended method is to submerge frozen meat in cold water. Lately there has been many people who, supported by the article of Harold McGee in the New York times, started to do “hot water baths”.
Before we heard that soaking frozen meat in hot water was not good, because the water may cook the surface of the meat and lead to bacterial growth.
After some testing the USDA found that for thin* cuts of meat such as chicken breast, steaks and chops, thawing in hot water can be done in less than 10 minutes without reducing quality of meat and most important, without the risk of bacterial growth.
Suggested method is to submerged the frozen contents within the bag in a pot with hot water, 130 degrees and leave for approximately 8 minutes, stirring occasionaly.
*Don't try this with large roasts or turkeys, though, as those still are safest thawing in the fridge or in cold water.
