REUSABLE ICE FOR THE BEACH
BEACH DAYS,
SORTED.
Cold drinks, dry sandwiches and fruit that is still crisp at 4pm. Here's how to keep your chilly bin cold at the beach.
HOW DO YOU KEEP A CHILLY BIN COLD AT THE BEACH?
Freeze your Kiwi Cubes 24hrs before you need them, make sure your chilly bin is stored somewhere cool before you pack it. Be sure to spread your Kiwi Cubes throughout the entire chilly bin. Leaving no empty gaps keeps the warm air out and the ice cold locked in. At the beach, park it in the shade, ideally under a pōhutukawa or the umbrella, and keep the lid closed between grabs.
Unlike bagged ice, reusable cubes do not melt into a slushy pond in the bottom of the bin. Your sammies stay sammies, labels stay on the cans, and there is nothing to tip out on the sand at the end of the day.
PACKING FOR A BEACH DAY
One 5kg bag suits chilly bin 15-25L for the whole day
Drinks on the bottom, cubes around them, food on top
Keep a separate small bin for drinks if the kids open it every five minutes
Shade beats sun every time, even for an hour
Home again? Rinse the cubes and straight back in the freezer
BEACH DAY QUESTIONS
WILL REUSABLE ICE LAST A FULL DAY AT THE BEACH?
Yes. In a decent chilly bin kept in the shade, Kiwi Cubes stay frozen well beyond a beach day. They are rated up to 48 hours with the lid shut.
DO I NEED TO DRAIN ANYTHING?
No. The water is sealed inside each cube, so there is no melt water to drain and nothing soaking through your food.
CAN I PUT THE CUBES STRAIGHT IN WITH DRINKS AND FOOD?
Yes. They are BPA-free and sealed, so they can sit right against cans, bottles and containers and also can go in your drinks
WHAT IF SAND GETS ON THEM?
No dramas. Give them a rinse under the tap when you get home before they go back in the freezer.
Reusable ice for every Kiwi. A full 5kg bag that keeps your chilly bin cold for up to 48 hours, with no melt and no mess.
