I wouldn't count on it. However, you can put it (still wrapped in the
plastic) in a sink filled with cold (not hot!) water to finish thawing it.
Depending upon the size of the roast, thawing doesn't take long using this
method. Or as George suggested, if you have a microwave, use the defrost
setting and check the roast periodically.
