Anyone ever try Alton Browns frozen turkey cooler thaw method? I can't seem to find a phone video he made where he was traveling for thanksgiving and had to make due with a frozen turkey and a cooler/container. He basicly took a frozen turkey, unwrapped it, threw it into a container with water/brine and said to leave it go at room temp for 24 hours. Basicly saying that the frozen turkey acts like a big ice cube keeping the water below the danger zone. It kinda makes sense, but i just tried it with a 22lb frozen turkey, 3 gallons of cold water salt brine, and the surface temp with the cooler lid closed is 53F. I am starting to worry this method is bunk.
Thoughts?
And if you can find the video im referring to please post a link so i can reference it.
