My favorite method is to have my wife do it. My second favorite is to
use anything warm. Boiling water is good, but hot water from the sink
helps too, if one is nearby.

Do you have a hair dryer? That can add some heat to the box and get
things started.

Just be sure never to get anxious and start poking away with sharp
objects. Many a freezer has been ruined that way.
