There are three safe ways to thaw ham: in the refrigerator, in cold water (in an airtight or leak-proof bag), and in the microwave. It's best to plan ahead for slow, safe thawing in the refrigerator. It will take about 4 to 6 hours per pound.
These are temperatures where bacteria multiply rapidly. Thaw food in the refrigerator at 40Â°F or less, in cold running water less than 70Â°F, or in the microwave if you'll be cooking or serving it immediately. Thawing in the refrigerator takes the longest time and advance planning. A large frozen item like a turkey requires at least a day (24 hours) for every 5 pounds of weight. Even small amounts of frozen food â- such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts â- require a full day to thaw.
