Should the food be in the container when running cold water over it? Or can the food be exposed?

Answer to Q on running under water
Food should stay in the container or package when you run it under cold water to thaw. For items like frozen meats and poultry, you don't want to contaminate your sink by having the products exposed. Similarly, it's not necessary, and not recommended, to rinse your chicken before you bake it. Pathogens will be killed by cooking (if you cook to the right temperature).
