Patent ID: 8578848

Claim:
An apparatus for defrosting and draining food comprising: a container configured for resting unsupported on a surface, the container including an open end and a closed end, and, a first side, a second side, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side extending between the closed end and the open end, and a cross side between the first side, the second side, the first lateral side, and the second lateral side at the closed end, thereby defining an internal cavity between the first side, the second side, the first lateral side, the second lateral side, and the cross side, and extending between the open end and the closed end, and, the internal cavity being inclined upward from the closed end, and, there being a plurality of apertures at the closed end positioned at least proximate to the cross side, and, the container being constructed to allow liquid to collect in the internal cavity when the container rests unsupported on a surface, and to remain in the internal cavity without leakage through an aperture of the container for a period of time until the container is repositioned upwards; and, a block member correspondingly configured with respect to the shape of the internal cavity for moving within the internal cavity.
