A steam cover or blanket for use in de-icing and thawing frozen objects a nd surfaces, the cover comprising an inlet for receiving steam, upper and lower layers defining a steam passage area therebetween, and a plurality of evenly spaced apertures extending through the lower layer from the steam passage area for allowing release of the steam adjacent the frozen objects and surfaces. A method is also taught for using the steam cover, comprising positioning t he cover adjacent the frozen objects and surfaces, connecting the inlet to a steam source, injecting steam into the inlet, allowing the steam to enter the stea m passage area, allowing the steam to exit the steam passage area by means of the apertures, and allowing the steam to contact the frozen objects and surfaces.
