Earth's rotation period relative to the Sun (its mean solar day) consists of 86,400 seconds of mean solar time, by definition. Each of these seconds is slightly longer than an SI second because Earth's solar day is now slightly longer than it was during the 19th century, due to tidal deceleration.
Microwave â You can press that rarely used defrost button on your microwave if you are short on time. Place the Cool Whip in the microwave without the lid. Defrost the Cool Whip for 30 seconds, remove it and give it stir, and then pop it back in the refrigerator for another 30 seconds. Keep repeating these steps until thawed. Depending on your microwave, it may take about 2.5 to 3 minutes to thaw.
For small packages of chops or individual chops, cold water defrosting can be as quick as microwave defrosting. Place the tightly wrapped chops in a deep bowl and fill it with cold water. Change the water after 20 to 30 minutes, or leave cold water trickling into it so it's constantly refreshed. Individual chops can thaw this way in 20 to 40 minutes, depending on their thickness, while packages of chops can take an hour or more.
