Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Ice Blocks in Black are designed for anyone needing to keep food and drinks cool during extended periods, especially during warm weather. Their primary benefit is reliable, long-lasting cooling for picnics, lunches, or travel. A potential caveat is their 0.3-liter capacity, which may require multiple blocks for larger coolers. This product includes two reusable ice packs that help maintain a lower temperature in insulated containers.

Can these be used for hot items?

Troubleshooting

Ice block not freezing solid

Ensure the freezer temperature is set correctly (typically 0°F or -18°C) and that the ice block is placed flat on a shelf, not touching the freezer walls. Allow at least 6-8 hours for complete freezing.

Ice block leaking

Inspect the ice block for any cracks or punctures. If a leak is found, the block should be discarded safely. Ensure the block is handled carefully to prevent damage.

Reduced cooling time

Verify that the ice blocks were fully frozen before use. Ensure the cooler is well-insulated and kept out of direct sunlight. For longer cooling times, consider using additional ice blocks if space allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To prepare the ice blocks, place them flat in a freezer. Ensure they are completely frozen before use, which typically takes several hours. Once frozen, remove them from the freezer and place them into your cooler bag or insulated container with your items.

Compatibility: These ice blocks are compatible with most standard lunch boxes, cooler bags, and picnic baskets. They are designed to fit alongside food and beverages without taking up excessive space.

Care: After each use, remove the ice blocks from the cooler. Wash them with mild soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely before returning them to the freezer for their next use. Avoid placing them in a dishwasher or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the material.
