FAQs

How do these stones chill drinks differently from ice?

Unlike ice, which melts and dilutes your drink, these stainless steel stones chill your beverage through thermal transfer without adding any liquid, preserving the full flavor profile.

What is the recommended number of stones to use per drink?

Typically, 2-3 stones are sufficient for a standard serving of whiskey or other spirits. You may adjust based on personal preference and the volume of the drink.

Can I put these stones in the dishwasher?

It is not recommended to put the stones in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high heat cycles can potentially damage the gold finish and the internal gel.

How long do the stones stay cold?

Once properly frozen, the stones will maintain their chill for a considerable amount of time, providing a sustained cooling effect for your drink. The exact duration depends on ambient temperature and the volume of liquid.

Are these stones suitable for hot beverages?

No, these stones are designed specifically for chilling cold beverages. They are not intended for use in hot drinks.

What material are the stones made of?

The stones are made of stainless steel and filled with a quick-freeze gel.

What is the primary benefit of using these over regular ice?

The primary benefit is chilling your drink without dilution, ensuring that the taste remains consistent from start to finish.

Troubleshooting

Stones are not chilling the drink sufficiently.

Ensure the stones have been frozen for the recommended minimum of 4 hours. For larger drinks or warmer environments, consider using more stones or allowing them to chill slightly longer before adding to your beverage.

Difficulty cleaning the stones.

Rinse immediately after use. For stubborn residue, use a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent water spots.

The gold finish appears to be fading.

This may occur with prolonged use. To maintain the finish, avoid abrasive cleaning materials and ensure stones are thoroughly dried after washing. Store them carefully to prevent scratching.
