Let's say I put a carton of juice or soy milk in the refregerator & it freezes
So I leave it out to thaw
If I want to drink the entire carton as fast as safely possible
Is it better to pour some out and then drink it gradually as it thaws
Or to leave it out until it thaws completely withoit pouring any of it out If I want the who!e thing to thaw as fast as possible
Pouring it out decreases the mass of liquid cooler than air temperature near the ice
But air transfers heat slower than water
