True. The new way is to add ice to the bucket every 4 hours or so and
then, it will defrost safely enough as long as there is always some ice
in the bucket that hasn't melted yet.

Hey, when I was in Hawaii there were a lot who stuffed the Turkey with
a rice and mushroom mix? Is that still popular? I'm curious to try it
but back when I lived there, Thanksgiving was one meal I wanted
'traditional' to my roots on the eastern seaboard USA so rice was not
part of it on that day. Love to look at a recipe for it!
