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.
Raw meat should be thawed in the refrigerator, a cold water bath, or in the microwave. If the meat is thawed in the microwave or a cool waterbath it needs to be cooked immediately. Small pans of foods may thaw overnight in the refrigerator but meat may need two days or more. Try to use it within a day for being completely thawed. Keep this in mind when menu planning. For large items like turkeys, estimate at least 24 hours of thawing time for every 5lbs of meat.
