What is the best way to thaw frozen house pipes?
The best way is to first open all the faucets to release any pressure in the lines. If you can get to it; turn off the valve before the problem pipe you want to thaw. If the pipe has already burst, then you need to repair that section (if there was pressure then there might not be a burst situation.) Look around for signs of water leakage. Now you want to warm the pipes--don't rush this. Open cabinets to let the house's heat get to the pipers if it is a sink that is frozen. If the frozen pipes are inside a wall or in concrete other than hiring a plumber with a pipe thawing machine (assuming you don't have plastic pipes) the only thing you can do is warm up the room and wait. A hair dryer can also assist, if there isn't any water around the area. When you have found and repaired the area, then to prepare for next year, either insulate the pipes better or add a thermostatically controlled pipe wrap (to keep the pipes warm in colder weather.) Also consider rerouting pipes within a heated area.
Does frozen milk thaw faster than frozen water?
In general, water with stuff dissolved in it has a lower freezing temperature than pure water. Milk is just water with stuff (fats, sugars, proteins) dissolved in it so it's freezing temperature should be lower than 0 degrees Celsius (the freezing temperature of water).Therefore, if you started with both frozen milk and frozen water at say -10 degrees Celsius and started slowly heating them both, the frozen milk will start thawing (melting) before the frozen water.
