Ice Chests

Going camping? Don't forget to carry your Ice Chest. How else would you be able to get chilled drinks and keep your frozen foods fresh all the time? Ice Chests are a great way to store ice and keep your drinks and food cool, at the same time.

Here are some tips to get the best out of your Ice Chest:

- If you want your beverage well-chilled, load cans and bottles first, then cover with ice.
- Keep the ice chest out of the sun.
- Don’t drain cold water. Recently melted ice keeps food and drinks cold. Melted ice-water preserves ice better than empty air space.
- Use crushed-ice to quickly cool food and drink and block-ice to keep it cold longer.
- Place perishable foods like meat and dairy products directly on ice. Sealed plastic containers will keep food dry.
- Use dry ice to keep food frozen.

There are a variety of Ice Chests available today. The most popular one is the Coleman Ice Chest that comes with 2" deep cup-holders to keep drinks steady and close at hand. It also includes an insulated lid for maximum cooling and a deep sump and drain for easy cleanup. Its 2-way handles make for easy lifting and carrying in confined spaces.

Another popular ice chest is the Ultra Cool Ice Chest. It has a tough rota-molded plastic and is insulated with high grade polyurethane foam (CFC free). Easy to clean, this ice chest comes with quality weather-proof latches. It also includes drain plugs and tough self stopping hinges. It promises ice retention for up to 9 days.
