Best Answer

On an episode of the UK-broadcast "Brainiac: History Abuse" TV series, it was proved that a block of ice is melted by a flame-thrower within two minutes. The pykrete on the other hand, was left virtually uncharred after several minutes of torture from the flame-thrower.

Pykrete is a composite material made of ice and wood pulp, which makes it melt slower than regular ice due to the insulating properties of the wood pulp. Therefore, ice would generally melt faster than pykrete.
