According to the brand, this gadget can help thaw frozen meat up to seven times faster than traditional methods. To use it, attach the tool to the side of your sink, fill your sink with water and then drop the meat in and let it thaw. The brand says that the Thaw Claw will help prevent the meat from floating up to the surface, so you don't have to use a pot or pan to keep it down.
