Product tips
There are many variables which can affect the length of time food, beverages, and other cooler contents will stay cold/hot. Here are a few tips that will help to maximize the performance of your cooler or lunch pack.
- In order to keep the contents cold, keep your cooler/lunch pack out of the sun. The sun transmits radiant heat that warms up the cooler at an accelerated rate.
- Keep your cooler off the ground as much as possible. The ground absorbs heat and will transfer the heat to your cooler through the process of conduction.
- The tighter you pack the contents of your cooler, the less air will be available to circulate inside. Circulating air can warm the contents of your cooler.
- The more ice or ice packs you add, the longer your contents will stay cold. Conversely, hot packs will help keep contents warm.
- Always keep your cooler closed when not in use. Please note that the ambient air temperature will affect the length of time that your cooler contents will stay cold/hot.
How about a couple of ideas to get your cooler contents to cool faster?
- In addition to the ice you pack your cooler with, add a little water. It aids in the surface conduction of the cold ice to the drink.
- If you want really high speed cooling, fill your cooler with ice, water, and then add some salt. Salt drops the freezing temperature of the water so it actually dips below 32F (0°C). The super cold water surrounds your drink and you have frosty drinks in a few minutes. Please note that by adding salt, your ice will melt at a faster rate.
Cleaning your product
- Both the interior and exterior of your product can be easily cleaned with mild dishwashing liquid soap. Do not put your product in the washing machine or dishwasher.
