Tonight is the time to place your frozen turkey lurky in the fridge to
defrost.... I don't want to see any last minute posts asking what to
do with a frozen turkey... because I will tell yoose to shove it up
your nether region.

I hope it's a fresh ham, a cured ham is very ordinary, nothing holiday
about it. A cured ham is the garbage of meats, a fresh ham is the
king of meats,

It's a smoked ham but not a country ham and I've never had any complaints
when I bring one. Sometimes hands have to smacked to leave it alone
until we sit down to eat.

It's 4lbs a day to defrost in the fridge. A 20lb Turkey will take 5
days so Friday was correct for that size.

Regardless, in my experience an extra day is best... many a time the
bag of giblets is still frozen in the cavity and irretrievable without
more thawing. Thing is nothing bad happens to a turkey thawing a bit
longer in the fridge... also not everyone's fridge/freezer is set at
the same temperature... a busy fridge will thaw quicker, a fridge
hardly ever opened can need another day.
Anyway my reminder was for those who forget to thaw altogether, and
that occurs quite often, people get all caught up in preparing for
company with baking and such and totally forget the frozen turkey.

It was a generic term. I added 1 day for 4 lbs so do basic math and
you want 4 days plus a bit for a 14lb bird. Saturday. If one took it
our Friday evening, that would be fine since kept fridged, they are
fine for another 2-3 days.

Not everyuone, but definitely you are clueless. I've not yet seen
anything you've cooked that doesn't look like shit, yet I say nothing.

Absolutely correct. Better to be fully defrosted than to be
attempting to dislodge the bag of giblets.
I seriously doubt that Jill has ever roasted a turkey, or she'd not be
carrying on so, Obviously Jill eats Thanksgiving dinner ALONE
at The Club, and then comes home to indulge heavily on cheapo box vino
ALONE.

No one, I wasn't referring to a speific size but rhe number of days per
4lbs. Some say 1 day for 5lbs but in my house, that doesnt work to
defrost the core (fridge probably a little colder on that shelf). 4lbs
a day works fine for everyine far as I can tell.

at 4 lb per day, for a 20 pound bird that's 5 days - you could have put
it in the fridge last Saturday morning and it should be thawed by Thursday

0 Sat
1 Sun
2 Mon
3 Tue
4 Wed
5 Thu

although because surface area does not keep up with increase in volume
(squares vs cubes) I doubt the linear formula is all that accurate

if needed you can put it in cold water to speed the thawing process
(you should change the water periodically)

You're the one who is clueless. I do wish you'd stop claiming I wanted
some sort of romantic relationship with you. Ugh. That never happened.

I'm 99% sure the people who post here who want to cook a turkey don't
need your annual advice about when to thaw it.

They are good as he mentions, but essentially, it is just a big pork
roast from the rear leg. I don't have need for such a big roast so I
buy the loin. A nice center cut bone it is very good.

Really. it's like telling someone how to boil water, of course only Sheldon
would have the proper and best pot to boil it in.

But, Popeye consumes massive amounts of food. A complete hog loin
wouldn't even comprise a light snack for this sailor.

A couple of hams, 10 lb of potatoes and a few bushels of spinach
provides him with a nice filling entree.

I cook them and slice them. I then freezer them for D. as he loves them in
sandwiches

One gammon joint lasts ages but I have enough freezer space not to worry

I usually buy half a ham, I prefer the butt half to the shank half. I
like to debone ham before roasting, makes for easy carving...
sometimes I butterfly, stuff, and tie it.
