Just that & curious.
Pints Always in the refrigerator ^^ This ^^ is the best way to thaw any meat. It keeps the outer thawed part refrigerated while the center thaws. I will thaw a turkey in a bucket of cold water as it keeps it cold throughout. Thawing in warm water is not a good idea.

I put mine away in 1.5lb lots in quart zip lock bags , the ones with a two , three layer zipper , run about two inches of water in ziplock with meat , fold to remove air and seal , then wrap it tightly in Saran Wrap . About a dozen layers cross crossing . I have found the water sealed in with meat stops freezer burn Then when I want to thaw it , I run hot faucet water over it and remove Saran wrap . Then toss it in sink if hot tap water and let it thaw , takes about 45 minutes or so . If it’s cut meat , I beat it with a hammer , season it and fry it . Never an issue with quality of meat or freezer burn . Kenneth

All mine is vacuum sealed so I just put it in a big bowl in water in the sink.

Asked my processor the limits of thawing game meat. He said, "As long as you don't let it draw blood, you'll be fine."
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Having worked in a school cafeteria, the only officially approved way is under cold running water. Screw that at home!
