streamofthesky 11/28/19 12:07:21 PM #1:	14.8 lb turkey, says it should take 3 days, maybe 4 (some sources said 1 day per 4 lbs, others 1 per 5 lbs) I put it in the fridge early Saturday evening, a day earlier than I'm "supposed" to, and the freaking inside is still frozen solid. :( I gave up trying to get the damn neck out after like half an hour (including soaking it in cool water for 15 minutes), just gonna let it cook for an hour then try again, maybe.... At least the giblet bag was right at the edge of the neck hole, so it came out without much effort. <cite>streamofthesky posted [p:930824911] in Those time...

Bugmeat 11/28/19 12:24:53 PM #2:	Instead of soaking it in cool water you should try running cool water inside. For several minutes. The cold of the still frozen turkey reduces the temperature of the standing water that you are soaking it in. The running water constantly replaces that with fresh, warmer water, directly into to frozen cavity you are trying to thaw, warming the frozen part of the Turkey much faster than just soaking it. The temperature settings of your freezer and refrigerator could be lower than average or recommended. That could be why your shit was still so frozen. --- "Genetics is fascinating.
