The summer season brings many activities to millions of families. It’s often a race to get from one adventure to another, with no breaks in between. Coolers are a must-have summer accessory that keeps food and drinks cool while they travel. With the current economic climate, coolers are more important than ever to cut down on food costs.
All coolers may not be created equal. California Innovations designed insulated coolers that can withstand the heat of summer. To help you get the best out of your coolers, California Innovations offers the following tips:
* Use a high-performance cooler. Arctic Zone IceCOLD coolers utilize radiant barrier technology to reflect heat from the sun. This helps the cooler’s interior stay cool.
* Pack a lot. You don’t have to pack everything. The less air that circulates, the tighter your cooler will be.
* Keep the cooler in the shade as much as possible. The sun’s heat will heat your cooler quicker. To protect your cooler from the sun’s rays, place it under an umbrella or tree.
* Place the cooler on a table or blanket. The heat from the ground is absorbed and transferred to your cooler. It is more difficult for warm air to enter if it is kept higher than normal.
* Always keep the cooler closed when not in use. It is easy to forget that even a few minutes can mean the difference between having water and ice. A cooler that has zipperless technology is easier to open and close.
* Use plenty of ice or ice packs. The cooler the contents are, the more ice you pack.
* For faster cooling, add a little extra water to the ice. Water aids in surface conduction which accelerates the cooling process. But, this can cause the ice to melt quicker.
