I've had large frozen turkeys take 4 days to thaw before. Just use it once it is fully thawed, don't let it sit around thawed for several more days. There's no food that I'm aware of that goes bad in the time it takes to thaw it. The stilltasty link below shows 3-5 days for refrigerated meat, and 4-6 months for frozen.Transitioning from frozen to thawed though, I generally count on defrost time + 2-3 days. If you want to thaw it faster you can always use the cold water method.Simply place it in a sink full of cold water (submerged) and change the water every 30 minutes. The rule of thumb for turkey is 30 minutes of thaw time per pound. I imagine pork shoulder would be similar, maybe a little longer?ust use it once it is fully thawed, don't let it sit around thawed for several more days.

It usually takes an entire day to thaw even a small amount of frozen food, such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts. For large items, like a whole turkey or ham, itâll take about 24 hours of defrosting time for every 5 pounds of food. All that waiting does have a payoff, though.
