Normally, frozen vegetables are not thawed first but are cooked from frozen.
yes
Thawed just enough to form it
If frozen vegetables are in one solid mass in the original package, it is likely they have thawed and then refrozen. This can happen due to improper storage or a fluctuation in temperature. While this may not pose a health risk, the texture and taste of the vegetables may be compromised.
The chicken is still frozen, please thaw it before cooking so that it will cook more evenly.
Thaw = to no longer be frozen Thawed state is the state an object is in when it no longer is frozen. (it might still be cold but should not have any frozen parts, even on the inside)
Any liquid or solid shrinks when frozen; the molecules contract. Molecules expand when thawed.
Food which has been cooked can be frozen, even if it was frozen prior to cooking. BUT Frozen food which has been thawed, but not cooked, should never be re-frozen. Nor should food which was cooked, frozen and thawed.
When it is not longer frozen!
Fish will weigh less after it is thawed because it loses some water when it is thawed.
I am pretty sure that you can use fresh or frozen vegetables when following a vegetable beef soup recipe. I always prefer fresh in just about everything, but if you have frozen vegetables, they will work very well.
If the meat was frozen but now it isn't, I would call it thawed.
