D Frost Wonder Review: Put to the Test

[@DemonicAkumi]

You know why people say it works for them? They leave it out and forget about it until it naturally thaws and go "Oh crap! It worked!"

[@AngSarapGrabe]

planning the buy the defrost tray but after watching this it really helps me NOT to buy unnecessary staff.

The only wonder with the defrost wonder will be you trying to wonder why you bought it in the first place.

I think you may be right.

As a former retail employee, I can verify that this is 100% true. Cashiers will do/say almost anything to hurry the transaction along. Especially when it's 10 minutes to closing and the customer can't make up their damn mind.

well this just saved me 14.99 i will continue to use cold water to defrost meats

[@gggardiney]

Vernon MacDonald but cheaper on our water bill

[@Bloodbound89]

try 2 coocking pots ;) and lay the meat between both pot bottoms this way works faster than water for me

[@shalala4571]

Mary Pauline Palacio 14.99 will give you more bowls of water for defrosting than youll ever need.

[@BrandonCultraroGamerVideo33194]

In the Range Mate Pro commercial it says you can go from completely frozen without defrosting

[@rainyday1122]

Why cold water and not warm or even boiled water?

[@OscarsWilde]

Why oh why oh why do I watch all these reviews for products that are not even on sale in my country. James has me hooked somehow. I'm sure I only found him while looking at Vegas videos 🤔🤔 😃

[@spacealienrissley]

Lol no one in Milwaukee has any of his products

[@sivc.29]

Long, long time ago we bought these things (2) and they didnt defrost things fast, nor efficiently, so we ended up using them as cutting boards (till these days!) and they do a much better work as that than what they were really made for! lol!

[@MrBuckshot18]

yea that shit does not work at all

[@Nom8d]

That's a fast way to dull your knives. Always use wood or plastic for cutting boards

[@ivanivke]

Thank you for saving me €20.00. I owe you a beer! ;-)

[@donbags5542]

Cast iron pan works too. Another one on top works even better, so you get this cast iron meat sandwich. After a while you get this ice cold pan, so you know that heat transfer occurs. Of course, if it's ice cold you might have to change pans! But you know what? I bought a microwave with inverter technology and defrosted at 30%. Amazing. Did it for 6 min on a large chicken breast and it defrosted without any cooking!

[@predatorhousepet4395]

My sister uses an old one she got from a garage sale for 25 cents to help keep her laptop cool and protect her lap from the heat. She says it works just as well as the $30 laptop cooling pad she had before.

[@iamyu]

what a COOL idea! 🤣

[@meriennelynch4867]

I have a black metal plate that says THAW on it. I do not take anything out of the bag it is in. And most of the meat is separated from large amounts and put into ziplock freezer bags and when I lay hamburgers, chicken, etc. on it t frosts very quickly. No problem. It eliminates mess with water or anything else. I never time it because I don't need to it is ready any time I am ready to cook it. I don't know what kind you are using but mine works wonders.

[@jamiebarthel8554]

Thank you for your review!! You just saved me $22 plus shipping!! ❤️❤️

[@brianjwoomer]

Blue spatula banned this review video from their facebook page when it exposed the myth behind these plates. Be sure to avoid blue spatula for any kitchen products, their marketing is far too shady.

[@giggle_snort]

Yup. I almost fell for their crap, so glad I watched this first!

[@jobalonie1]

I've had one of these defroster platters for probably 20 years ! I never knew that it was re-marketed recently under D Frost Wonder. I've always used my defroster platter (looks just like the D Frost Wonder) and thought it worked perfectly. What I don't care for about defrosting in a bowl of water is that you have to put the frozen item- i.e. steak, hamburg patty, chicken, in a ziploc or plastic sealed bag which, after you're done with it, you either throw it away, or wash it which I find to be a pain and is not recommended by the Food Safety people (to wash a used ziploc bag especially one that has contained a meat product). So I will continue to use my 20 yr old defrosting platter/plate and skip the plastic bag in cold water routine. But thanks, James, for another great review.

[@CaroleMorin]

Joan, I have a 20-year old defroster platter too and I use it a lot. Never really tried the ziploc bag because we are very eco friendly and that would be a waste. I just put my foam tray upside down on the platter and let the platter do its thing. Good enough for me.

[@gmturco2075]

I agree, we have enough plastic and trash

[@WallyTony]

Dang it I bought one of these recently. I guess I can use it as a firework stand.

[@sharonflowers66]

I've had the defrost wonder for many years now. It defrosts meat fast if I run it under warm (not hot) water, a couple times during defrosting. When I feel the metal getting cold, I re-run it under warm water

[@SirXer]

Thank you for this video! I saw the product and thought "No way that could work.", this backed up my assumption.

[@dstrawser8283]

I received it as a gift. Understanding heat transfer, I put a skillet of hot water on the stove, placed the defrosting tray on top of the pan, then placed frozen hamburgers onto the tray. Turned the burgers after 6 minutes. After 7 more minutes, completely defrosted.

[@billbledsoe6114]

A zip-lok bag in cold running water in the sink always worked quite well for my mother and it's still working for me. I'm almost 70 yo and haven't died of bacterial poisoning wet.

[@johnpantrakis6194]

you are killing it man,you stoped my depression!

[@gothamnetworks]

As our host points out, you likely have something better in your kitchen already; what you're looking for is the thickest heaviest metal, that will work better than the defrost wonder if it's more metal what I also do and trust me this isn't for everyone you can also use metal and give it a little heat from burners to assist with thawing but It's a bit tricky you have to do it right or things can go wrong. Another key tip is that if you vacuum sealed your food before freezing there won't be much of any air which is a slower heat transfer medium when you place it on whatever surface to thaw still in its sealed plastic.

[@Sarrahp1]

I know its not the recommended method but I have always used hot water & Ziploc bags. I have never gotten food poisoning from it as long as you cook the meat / fish thoroughly or to recommended temp.

[@kfl611]

What a sweet looking dog ! I've left meat sitting on the counter to defrost, it never hurt me. I do watch it and make sure the items stay cold. I found things in my fridge stay frozen, but then again I like my fridge turned down to like 34 degrees.

[@lisalis1456]

Thanks for the review.... theses videos are super helpful... saves me money gas and time..lol thanks

[@s.kennedy1989]

I bought one of these years ago, and was less than impressed. I had to repeatedly run the thing under hot water because, once it reached room temperature, it was pretty much useless. I also found that, rather than defrosting the meat evenly, it was actually starting to cook the outer layer. You're right, if you're defrosting meat with a lot of contours, like bone-in chicken, forget about it. In my experience, soaking the meat in a zip-loc in a bowl or sink of cold water was a superior method. I ended up giving my D Frost Wonder away.

[@mrs.m.9226]

Had it in my car and watched your video! You just saved me $7.75! Thank you!

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Sink and Slow Running COLD water. Fastest way.

[@thefootenotes5524]

See! Thank you for this! After searching the website for an explanation for how the tehnology works and not finding one told me his was a scam!

[@abigguitar]

The thing is, you don't need to defrost a hamburger patty to cook it. Just throw it into the pan frozen and get the cooking started. You'll be done cooking long before any method defrosts it. You do need to defrost chicken to cook it in most cases, though. I find that it's fastest in the microwave on low heat / defrost setting.

[@kfl611]

I found a lot of things you can cook from frozen. I prefer an old fashioned electric skillet with a tight fitting lid. The heat browns the meat on one side and the steam produced, along with a tight fitting lid, defrosts the top of the meat. Turn and cook, if the meat is getting too steamed, set the lid cock eyed so some steam can escape or take off the lid so all sides will brown. You can also line an old fashioned aluminum electric skillet with parchment paper or non-stick aluminum to make clean up easier OR put some water in your pan when done, a little dish soap, boil the water and turn it off and let it soak. Just watch that the boiled soap water doesn't make too many suds and over flow.

[@NurseClaudia]

This is how I defrost. Aluminum frying pan upside down, put down Saran wrap, frozen meat, another layer of Saran wrap, then another aluminum fry pan full of water. Yes! 30 minutes to defrost!

[@avicarabello3148]

Very nice maybe an aluminum bag in cold water?

[@pepper9302-l3v]

Thanks for this video. I heard putting frozen items between two sheet trays and running cold water accelerates thaw times.

[@MattManProductions]

If you are not worried about water bill, you can turn your water on in your kitchen in cold and keep your meet in a bag and let it run, helps defrost even faster

[@DannyBPlays]

I wish I took 2 seconds to look this up before buying. I've already written to the company, hoping to get a refund.. doesn't work like it says

[@justinrocc5734]

I have one of these and it definitely thaws meat faster than just sitting them out on the counter.

[@scottlaroc7396]

I don't know what this guy ,is talking about, this works. I don't have Defrost Wonder but something comparable and it worked every time. I'm not one who wants to be in the kitchen for long and this has made me not minding to try different dishes because of time saved. It may take a few more minuets more than advertised but nothing works true to form all the time and this will thaw quicker than normal. Try it yourself, I believe you will be impressed.

[@ixnine]

I suppose the people who didn’t return it to Bed Bath and Beyond must have used it to melt ice.

[@oldsy82]

Google the term"how to defrost food" and it says "dont leave food sitting out to defrost unless you want food poisoning."

[@dawnmeier2834]

It works with the warmth of the room. If house is cold it could take all day. House warm or hot doesn't take long.

[@RM-xs3ci]

A problem with the big thaw (counter defrosting) is that it puts you at a greater risk of foodborne illnesses. It really comes down to pure luck and the quality of the meat when you use this method. My mother always defrosts on the counter and I have gotten sick from it. Ever since then, I only eat meats that have been properly defrosted. If you plan your meals ahead of time, you won't run into an issue where you need to quickly defrost your food. For those of you that will argue that you've been doing it for years without an issue, I'm happy for you. But if you have a family, its better to think about their health.

[@bulsi]

I use the bowl method but I put the bowl in the sink and run a very small stream of cold water into the bowl. Seems to do the trick and in less then 30 minutes.

[@keithnewton5508]

Today I needed to thaw a package of bacon and I remembered these being a thing. So I took a fry pan flipped it over and put the bacon on top. Thawed faster than on the counter cost was $0.

[@jkgrosley735]

[@corynmay7463]

tysm for not saying dethaw. so many people get it mixed up. lol.

[@RIPPER334]

Coryn May I'm almost 50 years old... I've never heard anyone say "de-thaw"... That must be a regional term.

[@SenioritaSassypants]

Or "unthaw"....what in the crap is that?!

[@AlehandrosArhangelos]

Ice cubes melt faster because the spot that it touches melts and then new still frozen area touches the aluminum. Ice cubes do not defrost to unfrozen ice cubes, they unfreeze in a liquid. Food on the other hand defreezes into food that is in room temperature.

[@NoahBarr85]

I've had mine for close to 15 years. It's never worked as advertised. Why do I still have it? It's useful for weighing down stuff in the sink, or acting as a clean surface to set stuff on. It was also on sale for me, though I forget what I paid for it all those years ago. Dunno why I can't bear to toss it into the recycling though.

[@air-headedaviator1805]

I can’t believe As seen on TV LIED TO ME

[@Mixwell1983]

Just a quick tip, leave your bowl under cool slightly running water, it'll defrost even faster. If you dont have the time to let it defrost in the fridge this is the safest way and how its done in the culinary world. Has to do with conduction, the water also doesnt let the frozen item act like an ice cube so you always have a warmer temp. Yah hot water isnt as safe. Specially wouldnt do it with chicken.

[@Mixwell1983]

Had you done my method mentioned your chicken breast would most likely have been completely defrosted. An hours about what it takes me.

[@enigmasky1680]

I’m not sure how this was supposed to work because aluminum yes holds in heat and conducts heat but it also holds in cold very well.

[@fjccommish]

You can cook the frozen burger. It will thaw before cooking, as it cooks.

[@user-dx8nj7qj2g]

so why is a bowl of cold water a recommended way to defrost, but not a bowl of hot water, not boiling, just hot from the tap

[@ShadowOO-cf4sr]

Please for the love of god no one use this I’m in culinary arts and this is time and temperature abuse on any frozen meat if you want more details just look up time and temperature abuse means. Unless you want salmonella from that chicken you just thawed on the “d froster” DO NOT USE IT!!

[@ShadowOO-cf4sr]

@Sara Rodriguez Erena well you should never thaw any kind of meat at room temperature make sure if your defrosting meat with water that it’s hot running water or you can also thaw in the cooking process or most microwaves have a defrost setting now but you have to cook the meat ASAP when it come out of then microwave to avoid the growth of pathogens. Just remember to keep yourself safe and never thaw at room temp :)

[@kmbewe1]

It works bruv, not in minutes though. A whole chicken that completely defrosts in say 4 - 6 hours in cold weather like in the uk , you may cut that time down to 2 hours. Doesn’t work in minutes. I’ve just ordered mine based a trusted friends recommendation. I don’t know whether minutes is the claim on the package. My friends swore it works and had helped them a lot. But she told me not in minutes. I’ve ordered it , am not expecting it to defrost a whole chicken in minutes.

[@malonisantiago3377]

I think they just need a change it a little.... imagine if it was more like a sandwich bread folded in half. Where it could be defrosted from the top and bottom (I’m sure that would cut the time) and also that would give them a chance to put in a little tray or something on the folded side to catch the juice because it’s gross on the infomercial that the juice just leaks on your counter. I think they just need my help for their concept to execute 100% lol
