That's interesting.  I had not heard that.  I have seen (in person)
demonstrations (of material that the Miracle Thaw is supposed to be made of)
which showed ice melting quite a bit faster on this plate (made of the
ceramic material) than on a conventional plate.  You could then touch the
plate and feel that the temperature of the plate with the melted ice cube
was significantly lower than that of the conventional plate where the ice
cube was still melting.

Honestly, this is the extent of what I know about the Miracle Thaw and the like.
