Tip for quickly defrosting for anyone who wants to do this: get a few pans of water to the boil. Take everything out of your freezer. Turn it off, put the boiling pans of water in on top of some old towels (I stress: with pan! Don't pour it!). Close the freezer and wait 10-15 minutes. The hot steam will quickly defrost your freezer, faster than your stuff will thaw. Fit as many pans as you can, don't let the hot steam out, and repeat if the water cools but there's still ice. It's fast but messy. Use plenty of old towels!

I would suggest not doing this if you have glass shelving in your freezer. You’d probably only want to do this with a thick plastic that won’t shatter from thermal shock of putting the hot pot/pan on some towels.

Good point. I have glass shelves but I take them out when I do this .

what about taking out the glass shelves, filling up one of those five gallon jugs with boiling water, then putting that in there? (i assume we’re talking a chest or walk-in)
