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 you didn't leave yourself time for refrigerator defrosting, the next-best method is a cold water bath. Put the pork in a waterproof bag, and then into a deep bowl or pot. Run enough cold water to fully submerge the pork, and replace it every 30 minutes to keep it fresh and cold.Chops frozen in a single layer can thaw in as little as 30 minutes, while a 3-pound roast can take 2 to 3 hours.f you didn't leave yourself time for refrigerator defrosting, the next-best method is a cold water bath.
