Household Hint - Defrosting the Freezer

What does this have to do with defrosting a freezer?

The lid !!
It fits perfectly in the bottom of my upright freezer.

It also fits in the freezer part of my fridge.  Just empty your freezer, turn it off and place a fan inside.

Sit the lid on an old towel. The lid will catch chunks of ice and water while the towel will catch the runoff from the sides.

You'll be done defrosting the freezer in about an hour (depending on how much ice you've accumulated of course)
