My rough guide would be to fill the pan with hot water and place it on the ice. Come back in around 15 minutes and the pan will have sunk a little bit into the ice. Refill the saucepan with hot water and put it back on the ice in the same place as before. Repeat this a few times and you will eventually melt a hole all the way through the ice. During the recent cold spell it took me about an hour (4 or 5 refills of the pan) to get through about 3 inches of ice. Hope that adds to all the good advice given so far, and good luck during this imminent cold snap! |
