The effectiveness of using frozen peas as a household remedy for heat transfer depends on having convection of the cooling medium on both sides for increased heat exchange, and the development of a boundary layer can decrease the effectiveness of the heat sink. To test if using frozen peas are effective, assess if your palms feel cool to the touch of someone else's hand.
