Title: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Laxie on October 24, 2008, 12:40:33 PM Freezer crammed with frost + hair dryer + hammer + 1 hour of day (poorly wasted IMO) + still not done = Left it too long in the first place.
Do yerself a favour. If it's gone an inch or more...time to defrost!!! Don't say you haven't been warned. This has been a public service announcement. Carry on. Sigh. Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Wardonkey on October 24, 2008, 12:45:32 PM Groan, mine needs doing too.
Should I do it before the girlfriend moves in next month, or wait and hope she does it later? Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Laxie on October 24, 2008, 12:50:42 PM Have it done before she moves in if you expect to keep her around any bit.

Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: thetank on October 24, 2008, 01:36:46 PM If you're going to do it, don't do it before she moves in, you won't get the points.

Well played, Sir. WVP. ;tightend; ;applause; Must add one wee side note. Be careful when using hammer. DO NOT bang the freezer about too hard. Trust me. If you don't follow this simple rule, you will hear a hissing sound. If you hear the hissing sound...happy shopping. You need a new freezer.

But I like a nice suntan, me :). Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: cia260895 on October 24, 2008, 02:35:34 PM put freezer outside tilted forward with door open electric fan heater blowing into it
sit back and relax Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: TheChipPrince on October 24, 2008, 02:42:39 PM Here's another one, if you want ice cubes, quickly, fill the tray with boiling water, no need to thank me...

Don't fill it though. You'll spill it onto your hands and scald yourself as you try and fit it into the packed freezer that needs defrosting... Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Wardonkey on October 24, 2008, 02:49:44 PM put freezer outside tilted forward with door open electric fan heater blowing into it sit back and relax You can't do that where I live. I might as well take the fridge-freezer and the heater straight to the dump and stop by Comet on the way back... I'm leaning towards the tank plan, it a least gives a reason to put the job off for a couple of weeks. Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Laxie on October 24, 2008, 03:00:17 PM For the record. I didn't damage my freezer. That information was courtesy of my neighbour who called to keep me company during the task. Her freezer wasn't as fortunate.
Here's another one, if you want ice cubes, quickly, fill the tray with boiling water, no need to thank me... Is that for real or do I need to get me coat?

It's real. ya, can't remember the science behind it but I think it's the same thing that makes stuff defrost quicker if you run cold water over it rather than hot Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: kinboshi on October 24, 2008, 03:28:08 PM http://everything2.com/e2node/Hot%2520water%2520freezes%2520faster%2520than%2520cold%2520water
Interesting debate... Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Josedinho on October 24, 2008, 03:28:52 PM Nice to know.
Does it also make your ice cubes freeze clear? My only ice related useful fact is...... If filling a bucket/bin/wheelbarrow full of icey water for drink chilling purposes adding salt will keep it colder longer. Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: kinboshi on October 24, 2008, 03:37:21 PM The ice that builds up in your freezer that you want to remove is deionised water, which is the same thing as distilled water. So it's more pure to drink, or even to thaw and then use for your ice cubes!

Thread is ended here imo.

Going to try the ice cube trick this evening. I blame you lot if it all goes wrong. Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Rod Paradise on October 24, 2008, 04:36:30 PM OMG!!! rotflmfao Going to try the ice cube trick this evening. I blame you lot if it all goes wrong. You can get away with hot water - boiling is just asking for trouble.

I hope Mr Laxie appreciates it. I assume we're talking about the same ice cube trick. Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: Laxie on October 24, 2008, 05:07:00 PM Need ice cubes first. We can discuss tricks after. I'm more concerned about tonight's drinks at the minute.
1st Mojito going down nicely. Cheers! Title: Re: Here's a Freezer Tip Post by: barhell on October 26, 2008, 05:09:22 PM Frost Free freezers for FTW
