DEFROSTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A defrosting device resting on a significantly flat surface for use to defrost a frozen food package, comprising:
- A top shell comprising a top side that is substantially exposed to ambient air, a bottom side, a hermetically sealed top cavity formed by said top side and said bottom side, and a liquid material significantly filling said top cavity;
wherein said bottom side comes into direct contact with said frozen food package that is positioned underneath said top shell;
A bottom shell comprising a bottom side that rests on said flat surface, a top side, a hermetically sealed bottom cavity formed by said bottom side and said top side, and a liquid material significantly filling said bottom cavity;
wherein said top side comes into direct contact with said frozen food package that rests on said top side of said bottom shell;

Abstract
A defrosting device for use in a household or commercial environment to effectively defrost frozen food packages is described. The device consists of three major parts; a top shell, a bottom shell and a hinge mechanism connecting the top shell and the bottom shell to allow the top shell to rotate around the hinge to open and close relative to the bottom shell. To defrost a frozen food package, the defrosting device rests on a flat surface, such as on a countertop, and the frozen food package is sandwiched between the top shell and the bottom shell. Since resistance to heat transfer from the ambient, air and from the flat surface to the frozen food package is minimized through the paths along the top shell as well as the bottom shell, the defrosting device is able to effectively defrost frozen food packages.
