Removing Items Stuck to Freezer Shelf?

June 23, 2018

I just found a popsicle frozen to the top freezer shelf. It must have happened when the electricity went off for 5 hours, 6 months ago.

Anyway, it's an expensive freezer and I already tried prying it off with a fork. It's rock solid! Any magical ideas (LOL)?

You can try using a blow dryer to melt it off.

You might want to try using a blow dryer. Just direct the heat toward the popsicle for a few seconds and it should melt enough for you to remove it. Good Luck!

Warm/hot cloth

Take a warm, not hot, nubby dish rag or towel with a drop of dish detergent squished in. Let it sit on the spot for a few minutes and the popsicle should affix to the cloth, then gently peel off. It is probably going to stain, so check with your freezer manual for what you can use to remove the dye stain.

I like vinegar and baking soda paste, but some manufacturers frown on that. Since freezeres are expensive, I listen to the company recommendation so I don't do any damage. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

I would lay a wash cloth that had been soaked in hot water over the popsicle , leave it on for several minutes and then just pick the popsicle up in the wash cloth.

Hair drier keep paper towels handy to clean up the melt. If it stains, try a little bleach.

I have Ziploc bags full of veggie puree frozen to my freezers door shelf. I tried a flexible spatula, no go. Help! This particular shelf cannot be removed and is solid plastic. The bags must have been wet when I packed them in there so snugly.

Gently heat with a hair dryer? Or maybe try warm water.

I would try hot tap water. A bit messy but you could pour it behind the bags of puree and that should melt the ice on the bottom.

Try mixing salt and hot water in a spray bottle, shake, and spray where the bag is frozen. Be sure to clean the saline solution off the fridge and baggie afterwards.

I'd try a hair dryer. It works on car doors frozen shut.

Why don't you put a rag in boiling/hot water and place it on bag near where it's stuck? Or pour hot water to separate and dry the area after.
