edited December 2015 in Beef
I received a gift card to SRF and promptly ordered a brisket that arrived today. With a Crown Roast on the menu for Christmas, this beautiful hunk of beef is for Saturday or Sunday. My questions for those of you that have ordered from them:

1. How long does it typically take to thaw, and 
2. What is your thawing method

Thanks, from the guy who has never dealt with a frozen brisket.

    Mine arrive frozen solid (2 day shipping) regardless of the season-it will take a good 3+ (close to 4) days in a fridge (I get the 11-14 lb size).  Since that is outside your window, I would start with the fridge and then go with the cold water bath-changing the water every 45 minutes or so until thawed.  I'm thinking that process will take about 6-8 hours.  And if frozen-just a little longer for the cook to hit the promised land.  FWIW-
    Great cook and eats await.

    Thanks... this weekend is not a must, with out of town guests, it can be done any day between Christmas and New Years. I can swap days and do the pork butt or steaks this weekend. Egg cooked meals all week for my guests...
