FAQs
How long should I freeze them?
For optimal performance, freeze for at least 8 to 12 hours until the contents are completely solid.

Are the materials food-safe?

Will they leak if dropped?

Troubleshooting
Blocks do not stay cold for the expected duration
Ensure the blocks are completely solid before use and keep the cooler lid closed as much as possible.
Condensation forming on the outside of the blocks
This is normal when cold blocks meet warmer air; wrap the blocks in a thin towel if you need to protect sensitive items from moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the blocks in your freezer at least 8 to 12 hours before your planned excursion to ensure the internal cooling medium is completely solid. These blocks are compatible with almost all insulated soft bags and hard-shell plastic coolers. To care for your blocks, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap after use. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, which could degrade the plastic casing. Always store them in a cool, dry place when not in use, though keeping them in the freezer is acceptable if you have the storage space.
