Ice Tips

  • Keep coolers in the shade whenever possible.
  • Pre-chill drinks before adding ice.
  • Keep cooler lids closed to reduce melting.
  • A full cooler keeps ice longer than a partially filled one.
  • Store extra bags in a freezer if available.

Did You Know?

  • Ice expands by about 9% when water freezes.
  • Crystal-clear ice forms when impurities and trapped air are minimized.
  • A well-packed cooler can help ice last significantly longer than one with lots of empty space.
  • Food-grade ice should be handled with clean hands or a dedicated scoop.
  • Commercial ice is stored well below freezing to maintain quality until delivery.
