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.

I usually break up ground beef into baggies for individual meals and then they only take maybe 4-5 hours to defrost. If you're using an entire big normal-sized package of it from the supermarket, it would take me at least 18-24 hours to defrost in the fridge [I'd put it in the night before].f using the microwave, cook the ground beef immediately because some areas may begin to cook during the defrosting. To defrost in cold water, put the meat in a watertight plastic bag and submerge. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately.
