CE thawing rolls.

[louise66]

Did anyone see this demoed? It looks interesting and, if it works, an ingenious invention. I don't eat a lot of frozen food so, with postage, I haven't yet decided if it will be worth it. May buy a set for my mum.:mysmilie_59:

Didnt see the demo but its hard to see how they will speed up the thawing process without using any source of heat.

Thawing device is old hat

I am old enough to remember when similar things were on sale in catalogues many years ago. Either they were based on scientific fact, which explains why they were around for years. Or they disappeared because they did not work. Why not try the famous MBG and risk the return postage?

With respect, the other posters on this topic have missed what I think is the most important part of today's programme. I probably should get out more, but I find Simon Brown attractive. Thank goodness he has now ditched the affectation of the several days of five o'clock shadow not long enough to morph into a manly beard.

I have got the board (802971) which works very well indeed. I am going to try the roll, because the problem with the board is that it only speeds up where it touches so you have to keep turning the item to get the best results.

I have a black rectangular metal plate from the 80s which used to be my Mum's. It feels cold to touch but does seem to speed up defrosting. The original instructions said to run it under the hot tap for a few minutes first, but I found it still worked (maybe a little slower) at room temperature. The felixible QVC item looks as though it would really speed up lumpy joints of meat, so I'll keep looking at it and then see if I can find the same thing cheaper elsewhere on the t'interweb.

Will do!

This is the one I have, although I think the price on Amazon is a bit steep at £15 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003UMPFTG/?tag=shoppingcom03-21

Edit: the same thing is only £10 at Robert Dyas.

If I take something out the freezer in the morning its thawed when I'm home from work, so I I'm not sure what purpose these would serve.

Maybe if you forget to take things out of the freezer or make a last minute decision on what to eat.Be interesting to know how effective these are. I usually defrost in the microwave.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

If an item is "thick" it can be a bit hard to get defrosted all the way through which is maybe how this thingy will come into its own.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

I see these are airing again but no reviews.

Anyone track down a cheaper source?

 

[Akimbo]

This item is now reduced if anyone fancies giving it a go http://www.qvcuk.com/Cooks-Essentia...931&orderId=50505921&itemId=13086932&sc=SCART

I had a look around but couldn't find anything similar. I'm planning to use them with the flat defrosting tray I already have, om their own I think they'd be a bit small.

Thank goodness he has now ditched the affectation of the several days of five o'clock shadow not long enough to morph into a manly beard.

I think you're missing a part of anatomy for this feeling to be reciprocal.

These are a great way to get food poisoning: by leaving something out at room temperate and forgetting about it for a bit whilst it 'does its magic' (magic being simple conduction). I stick to the fridge overnight; using the microwave if I've forgotten.

I think you are wasting your time, unless you are male.
