Safely and rapidly defrosting a frozen item or appliance requires applying controlled thermal energy. For a freezer, you can accelerate ice melting by placing bowls of boiling water inside the closed cabinet to generate steam, or by using a hair dryer on a warm, low setting kept at a safe distance from plastic walls. For frozen food items, the fastest safe method is submerging the sealed food package in cold running tap water or using the defrost function on a microwave, ensuring it cooks immediately afterward. Never use sharp metal tools on freezers. You can verify this step was successful by confirming ice has cleared or food is fully thawed.
