HOW REUSABLE ICE WORKS
FREEZE. PACK.
ENJOY. REPEAT.
Each cube is a sealed shell of BPA-free plastic filled with pure water. It freezes like ice and cools like ice, but the water never escapes.
STEP 1
FREEZE
Lay the bag flat in the freezer for at least 24 hours.
STEP 2
PACK
Tip the cubes in around your food and drinks. Fill the gaps.
STEP 3
ENJOY
Up to 48 hours of cold, with nothing melting into your food.
STEP 4
RINSE AND REFREEZE
Rinse, dry in the mesh bag and back in the freezer for next time.
HOW TO PACK A CHILLY BIN SO IT STAYS COLD
Make sure your chilly bin has been stored in a cool place before you pack it
Pack cold things only. Chill drinks in the fridge first
Cubes on the bottom and around the sides, food in the middle, a layer on top
Fill the space, a full bin stays cold
Shade, and keep the lid shut. Every opening lets the cold out
Two bins if you can, one for drinks and one for food
STILL 6.4°C AFTER 48 HOURS
We put it to the test. A chilly bin packed with Kiwi Cubes, lid shut, opened up the lid a few times to check over the two full days. When we opened it 48 hours later, the cubes were still reading 6.4°C, with no melt water in the bottom and everything inside still cold and dry.
Pre-chill the bin, pack it full and keep it in the shade, and you will get the same result on your next weekend away.
CARE AND HOW-TO QUESTIONS
HOW LONG DO KIWI CUBES TAKE TO FREEZE?
Give them at least 24 hours in the freezer, laid flat, so every cube is frozen solid.
HOW LONG DOES REUSABLE ICE LAST?
Up to 48 hours in a good chilly bin. How long depends on the chilly bin, the heat, and how often the lid is opened.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN I REUSE THEM?
Up to 1000 times. As long as a cube is not cracked or punctured, rinse it, refreeze it and use it again.
WHAT IF A CUBE CRACKS?
Throw that cube away. The water inside is just water, but a cracked cube will not freeze properly or stay sealed.
CAN THEY GO IN THE DISHWASHER?
No. Hand washing in warm soapy water is best.
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.
