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.
How long does whole ham or half ham last after being frozen and thawed? Whole ham or half ham that has been defrosted in the fridge can be kept for an additional 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator before cooking; whole ham or half ham that was thawed in the microwave or in cold water should be cooked immediately.
