Certified Pretend Chef
Clearly I'm not including frost-free freezers attached to refrigerators here.
I have an upright freezer that is manual defrost. When the time comes to defrost it, I empty the contents into the freezer and refrigerator in the kitchen and into coolers. Then I turn off the freezer and bring four pots of water to a boil. My freezer has a drain plug in the bottom so I open that and run a plastic tube to a floor drain. The four pots of boiling water go on the four shelves and I shut the door and leave it for a while.
If I'm patient and wait, it's all melted or at least all the ice has fallen off the shelves and I can wipe dry and reload.
What do you do??
