Abstract: A water distribution device for use in thawing multiple containers of frozen food. The device includes a coupling, siphon breaker, manifold, in-line thermometer, and a number of valves and associated supply tubes. The coupling is used to connect the device to a standard threaded faucet spout. The manifold supplies the water to each supply tube via one of the valves. The supply tubes can be run into the different containers to thereby permit multiple containers to be filled with water simultaneously. The valves permit individual control of the water flow to each container and can be used to prevent water flow through one or more of the supply tubes if they are not needed. The siphon breaker prevents backflow of water and the thermometer can be used to set and monitor the temperature of the water delivered to the containers.
