>The consent order with Premier Products, Inc., T.V. Products, Inc., and T.V.P. Corporation, all of Florham Park, New Jersey, as well as company officers Michael Sander and Issie Kroll, settles charges that they made false and unsubstantiated safety and effectiveness claims for the "Miracle Thaw" Teflon-coated aluminum tray, which purportedly thaws frozen food quickly and safely. The consent order prohibits the respondents from misrepresenting how long it takes any food storage or preparation product to defrost, thaw or prepare food items, the process by which it does so, and the existence or results of any study or research. The order also bars the respondents from misrepresenting the risk of bacteria buildup on foods when consumers use such a product, and requires them to have substantiation for claims about the safety or efficacy of food storage or preparation products, and to include a disclosure about the potential risk of harmful bacteria buildup when making claims about the effectiveness or usefulness of Miracle Thaw or substantially similar products. (See Dec. 9, 1996 news release for more details regarding this case; Docket No. C-3720; Commission vote on Feb. 26 to issue the order as final was 5-0.)

It's such a bullshit product.

It relies on natural convection heat transfer using air, literally the shittiest form of convection commonly available.

You want forced convection heat transfer with a more conductive fluid. Throw that shit in a plastic bag, remove the air, and then put it in a bowl of water in the sink with the faucet on cold and low. Or don't use a bag, whatever.

If you're impatient you can use warm water

Let me try to explain this to you. You recommend taking your Over-Priced Piece of Aluminum(TM) and heating it on the stove. You can do the exact same thing with the pans that everybody already owns. Your product has zero benefits.
