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.

If the chicken is left in direct contact with water, it may also absorb liquid, leading to a watery tasting breast. Submerge the package of breasts in cold water, changing it every 30 minutes until the meat is completely defrosted. It can take two to three hours to fully defrost a 3- to 4-pound package of chicken breasts.
