⚡ The Hot Water Bowl Trick (Fast + No Effort)

✅ What You Need:

• A pot or bowl of boiling water

• A towel or two

• Optional: a wooden spoon or spatula (for gentle scraping, no metal!)

---

🔧 Steps:

1. Unplug the Freezer
   Safety first — turn it off and empty all contents (store food in a cooler if needed).

2. Place a Towel at the Bottom
   To absorb water as the ice melts.

3. Put a Bowl of Boiling Water Inside

   • Place the bowl on a sturdy, heat-safe surface inside (like a plate or baking dish).

   • Close the freezer door (or lid if chest-style) to trap the steam inside.

4. Wait 10–15 Minutes
   The steam will soften and melt the ice quickly.

5. Wipe Away Melted Water + Loose Ice
   Use a towel to soak up the water and gently remove remaining ice.

💡 Pro Tips:

• Repeat the boiling water step if needed for thicker ice.

• Don’t use metal tools to chip ice — they can damage the freezer walls.

• Clean the freezer with baking soda + water while it’s empty!
