- Allow to thaw in the fridge for 3 days before cooking
Method 2 (cool water)
- Fill a large container with cool water.
- Wrap the ham in two layers of unscented trash bags
- Lower the trash bags into the large container of cool water.
- Change the water every 30 minutes.
- Ham will thaw at a rate of 1lb per 30 minutes.
Notes
- Plan ahead and place the ham into the fridge for about 3 days before you plan to use it.
- Be SURE to put a plate or towel beneath the ham to collect any dripping juices as it thaws in the refrigerator.
- Use the cool water method if you will need the ham more quickly.
- Double bag the ham in an unscented garbage bag to keep the water out if you are thawing using the cool water method.
- Use a VERY CLEAN cooler, sink or a plastic tub for thawing the ham with the cool water method.
