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.
Temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit keep bacteria growth slow, so thawed chops stay edible for three to five days before you cook them. Take the pork chops from the freezer and put them in the refrigerator. A 1-inch-thick pork chop takes approximately 12 to 14 hours to thaw in the refrigerator.
