00:00:01.050 --> 00:00:05.580
<v 0>This Turkey is rock solid and you should never cook a frozen bird.</v>

2
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:08.490
You can defrost in the refrigerator, just make sure it's on a sheet tray,

3
00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:12.900
but depending on the size of your Turkey, that can take up to a week.

4
00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:16.800
That takes a lot of planning ahead. Here's a faster method that takes hours.

5
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:18.930
Not days to start.

6
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.770
I'm going to use a large pot and keep the Turkey in its packaging

7
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:26.370
and for the best results,

8
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.960
place it in breast side down and just fill the pot with cool water until it's

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.310
completely submerged. It may be tempting, but don't use hot water.

10
00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:38.640
Cool water is going to be best. If your Turkey floats,

11
00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:41.970
you want to make sure to weigh it down. I'm just using a can and a baking dish.

12
00:00:42.450 --> 00:00:44.610
If you don't have a pot, they can. Now you can do this right in the sink,

13
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:47.970
or you can use a cooler, just make sure to disinfect it afterwards,

14
00:00:48.180 --> 00:00:49.920
change the water. Every 30 minutes,

15
00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:54.750
this will help speed up the process to completely defrost a frozen Turkey.

16
00:00:54.780 --> 00:00:56.700
It's going to take about 30 minutes per pound,

17
00:00:57.090 --> 00:00:59.820
and that's a heck of a lot quicker than the fridge method and that's all it

18
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.810
takes out of the pot. Just drying it off and we have a nice soft Turkey.

19
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.530
Ready to go. Now, just keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to roast.

20
00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:12.660
<v 1>Um,</v>
