Quick Freezer Defrost Trick

• Towels (lots!)

• Hot water (not boiling—around 140–160°F / 60–70°C)

• A shallow pan or bowl

• Optional: hairdryer or heat gun (low setting)

Steps

1. Unplug the freezer
   Safety first. Remove all food and store in a cooler if possible.

2. Contain the mess
   Place towels at the bottom to catch water.

3. Create steam

   • Fill a heatproof bowl with hot water.

   • Place it inside the freezer and close the door.

   • Steam will loosen ice in 5–10 minutes.

4. Speed it up (optional)

   • Use a hairdryer on low heat, keeping it a safe distance from ice and water.

   • Gently direct heat at ice, never directly on plastic to avoid warping.

5. Scrape carefully

   • Once softened, gently scrape ice with a plastic or wooden spatula (no metal!).

   • Wipe water with towels as you go.

6. Clean & dry

   • Once all ice is gone, wipe freezer dry.

   • Plug back in and return food.

Pro Tips

• Avoid knives or sharp objects—risk of puncturing coils.

• Microwaveable heat packs also work in a pinch.

• Prevent future ice build-up: keep freezer door closed, don’t put hot food directly in.

✅ Result: freezer defrosted in under 15 minutes with minimal effort.

If you want, I can also give a “hands-free, steam-only” method that’s even faster—takes literally 5 minutes! Do you want that version?
