It's best to plan ahead for slow, safe thawing in the refrigerator. After thawing raw pork by this method, it will remain safe in the refrigerator 3 to 5 days before cooking. During this time, if you decide not to use the pork, you can safely refreeze it without cooking it first.
Unwrap the frozen meat and place it in a bowl big enough to hold it. Fill the bowl with tepid water and place it in the sink under a rapidly dripping faucet. The dripping water should be slightly cool to the touch â this helps keep bacteria growth to a minimum while the meat is thawing. Leave the meat under the water until it has completely thawed. For a thin chicken breast or a few sausages, this usually takes about 20 minutes. Larger cuts of meat can take about an hour. Don't leave the meat out for more than four hours. I learned this method for thawing meat in our food safety class in culinary school and have used it ever since!
