I bought mine Thursday and left it in a coolbox in the shed. Yesterday Morning (Saturday) it was still frozen solid :eek: It spent yesterday evening in the kitchen unwrapped and thankfully it was defrosted by this morning.
It's now cooked, sliced and waiting to go into the fridge for tomorrow
Just run, run and keep on running!0 -

I suppose it depends where you are defrosting it - but I would do it for at least 48 hours in a cool placeWe all evolve - get on with it0

well it will never fit in the fridge and my fridge would probably take a week to defrost so it is going to have to sit on the draining board in the kitchen, cos of the extention i am having built the kitchen is quite cold a medium chicken in my kitchen would probably take about 24 to defrostStill TryingGrocery challenge July 2016
