No - you'll end up with ice and that's not the same thing as water

Thats what I was worried about! What's the best way to defrost it? The grill?

Dump the whole lot in a sink or bucket full of water. Science is amazing ... you'll find that water can convert ice into more water! Richard Hammond should dedicate a programme to that phenomenen.

Next question?

Thats genius. If i use water to defrost the ice in that will use up some of the extra water I bought. I guess, so as not to waste anything, could I use the water left over from defrosting to make ice?

You could save even more by diluting it :rolleyes:

Indeed. If you go over to the Green Board, you'll find that the considered advice is that we should re-use first ... then recycle.

So you should definitely be using the water left over from defrosting the ice to make more ice. Or simply use it as water.

Of course, if your mains water is metered, this would be true :money: Moneysaving too

Brilliant! :T Why didn't I think of that

What's best to dilute it with? Cause I've got all this extra water I bought on bog7f. Would that be ok? Sorry but I just don't know much about all this cooking malarkey - don't want to poison anyone! Also, is there some sort of joke going on here. I'm DEADLY serious.
