Once you have the ice off your freezer, wipe the surfaces with glycerine. The
next time
you defrost, those sheets of ice will just push off. No need to wait for yonks
for
thawing.

Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Defrosting a chest freezer
As someone mentioned the use of a hair dryer speeds things along. I also
use a board and with light hammer taps can dislodge the ice on the sidewalls
after some time blowing the hot air on the metal sides rather than the ice.
Get the metal warmed, or plastic and it melts the bond to the ice making it
easy to knock it loose so you can remove huge chunks rather than waiting for
everything to melt.
Remember I said light taps on a board against the ice.
