Best way to defrost a freezer, and how to prevent it. It is an old fridge/freezer?
It is a very messy job no matter how its done. I used to put a big pot of boiling water in the freezer and shut the door. Do lay down lots of towels. Let the water sit until it cools off then put another pot of hot water in and let it sit for awhile. By this time, some of the ice should be melted enough that you can loosen it. I used to scrape it, but be careful not to damage your freezer with any sharp instruments. Anyway its a long process, but once you get all the ice melted and out of there, dry it very well. Then you can spray it with Pam or other cooking spray. Next time it should be easier to get the ice off. Good luck!
