Product Information

Full details

The Thermos Freezing Board 400G (3 Pack) is designed for individuals who need to keep food and drinks cold for extended periods in insulated containers. Its key benefit is providing a reusable and practical cooling solution for packed lunches, picnics, and travel. A potential caveat is that its effectiveness depends on proper freezing and the insulation quality of the container used. This product offers a set of three 400g freezing boards that help maintain a cooler environment within lunch boxes, cooler bags, and cool boxes, promoting food freshness and beverage chilliness without the need for disposable ice packs.

FAQs

How long do the freezing boards stay cold?

The duration the boards stay cold depends on factors like the ambient temperature, the effectiveness of the insulated container, and how frequently the container is opened. They are designed to help maintain cold temperatures for several hours, typically longer for packed lunches than for extended outdoor trips.

Can I put these directly on food?

It is recommended to place the freezing boards in contact with the packaging of food items or within the container, rather than directly on exposed food, to prevent potential moisture or damage from extreme cold.

How do I clean the freezing boards?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse well and ensure they are completely dry before placing them back in the freezer.

Are these boards safe to use with food?

Yes, they are designed for use with food in insulated containers. Ensure they are clean before each use and handle them carefully to avoid damage.

What happens if the freezing board gets punctured?

If a freezing board is punctured, it may leak its contents. Discontinue use immediately to prevent contamination and avoid further damage.

How many boards should I use?

The number of boards to use depends on the size of your insulated container and the desired cooling duration. For a standard lunch box, one or two may suffice. For larger cooler bags, you might use three or more.

Can I refreeze the boards multiple times?

Yes, these are reusable freezing boards and are designed to be refrozen and used repeatedly for cooling.

Troubleshooting

Freezing board not cold enough

Ensure the board has been in the freezer for adequate time (at least 8-12 hours) and that your freezer is set to an appropriate temperature.

Board leaks after freezing

Inspect the board for any punctures or damage. If a leak is detected, discontinue use to avoid contamination.

Reduced cooling performance

Check that the insulated container is properly sealed and not overfilled. Ensure the freezing board is fully frozen and has not been exposed to ambient temperatures for too long before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reusable and eco-friendly
  • Helps keep food and drinks cold effectively
  • Versatile for various insulated containers
  • Convenient for daily use and travel
  • Cost-effective over time due to reusability

Cons

  • Requires pre-freezing time
  • Effectiveness can be limited by ambient temperature and container insulation
  • Can add significant weight to lunch bags when multiple are used
  • May not keep items frozen, only chilled

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the Thermos Freezing Boards flat in a freezer.
  2. Allow boards to freeze completely until solid. This typically takes several hours, depending on your freezer's temperature.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable For: Insulated bags, lunch boxes, cool boxes, and other insulated food containers.
  • Not Suitable For: Direct contact with food items that could be damaged by extreme cold or moisture. Always place them within the container, typically separated from food by a layer of packaging or the food's own container.

Care:

  • After each use, remove the freezing boards from the container.
  • Wipe them clean with a damp cloth or mild soapy water.
  • Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before refreezing.
  • Do not microwave, boil, or place in a dishwasher. Avoid sharp objects that could puncture the board.
