This one had on crust! No chips or candied fruits, either.

When I lived under the flightpath to an airport we had double glazing
installed with a massive air gap (about eight inches) to keep out the
noise, in winter this made an excellent place to stash the food during
defrosting operations.

I must get mine done before the warmer weather returns, I use the same
technique, bowl of hot water, food wrapped in old newspaper in an
unheated part of the house, and watch out for next door's cat.

Last time this worked well except for the prawns which were glazed
with so much ice they semi-melted and resolidified into an unbreakable
block with little pink tails poking out.
