This food will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.

Usually all day or all night, just leave it in the sink for at least 8-10 hours You can speed up the thaw by filling the sink with cold water, this should reduce to thaw time by a couple of hours, ensure it is completely defrosted before you start cooking it.

Defrosting a 31 lbs turkey how long?

The best way to defrost anything is in the fridge. It keeps the food out of the danger zone, but it does require more time to thaw. If you plan to eat your turkey on the weekend I'd say pull it as early as monday and put it in the fridge on a tray.


How long do you roast a 20 lb turkey?

It takes a long time. One day in the fridge for each 5 lbs. A 20 lb. turkey will take 4 days in the refrigerator. If you need to defrost in a hurry you will need to take drastic action and provide a running bath of cold water, not a static bath. Check often and prepare for the oven as soon as possible. The key here is temperature is not your friend with food. Bacteria will grow between 40 and 160 degrees (they actually never stop growing, even in the freezer but grow much, much slower) The amount of time a turkey (or other food) spends in this danger zone is crucial. So get that turkey into a hot oven as soon as it is defrosted in this manner.
