FAQs

How long do these ice packs stay cold?

The duration of cooling depends on several factors, including the size of your insulated container, how often it's opened, and the ambient temperature. However, they are designed to keep contents cool for many hours, especially when used with a well-insulated container.

Can I put the ice packs in the dishwasher?

No, it is not recommended to put the ice packs in the dishwasher as this can damage the casing and the cooling gel.

What is the cooling element inside the pack?

The packs contain a non-toxic gel formula designed for efficient cooling.

Are these ice packs safe for direct contact with food?

While the gel inside is non-toxic, it is recommended to wrap food or place it in separate containers. Ensure the outer surface of the ice pack is clean before placing it in your cooler.

How should I store the ice packs when not in use?

Store them in a clean, dry place after ensuring they are completely dry. It's also beneficial to store them in the freezer so they are ready for immediate use.

Can I use these ice packs to freeze food?

These ice packs are designed to keep food cold and maintain already frozen items, not to freeze fresh food from room temperature.

Troubleshooting

Ice pack not freezing solid

Ensure the freezer temperature is set low enough and that the ice pack is placed flat, allowing for even freezing. Check for any obstructions that might prevent proper circulation of cold air in the freezer.

Cooling not lasting as long as expected

Pre-chill your insulated container before use. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly and avoid opening the container unnecessarily. Consider using an additional ice pack if the ambient temperature is very high or the duration of use is extended.

Outer casing is damaged or leaking

If the outer casing is punctured or leaking, discontinue use immediately. Dispose of the product safely and replace it with a new ice pack.
