Limit cooler access
Frequent unzipping and opening will press
fast forward on your ice melting. Limit
cooler access and the time the cooler
remains open. Otherwise, you risk letting
that precious cold air escape and inviting
hot air to find a new home.
Keep cold water in
If your ice has melted, keep the water inside
your cooler. The water will still be cold and
can help insulate remaining ice. Just be
sure to keep exposed food and meat out
of the water.
Not all ice is created equal
Ice can get much colder than its freezing
point. “Warm” ice (near 32° F) is typically
wet to the touch and dripping with water.
Cold, sub-zero ice is relatively dry and
will last substantially longer.
Block ice vs. cube ice
Block ice melts more slowly than cube
or shaved ice so it’s our preference. To
make your ice last even longer, use YETI
ICE, available in 1 lb., 2 lb., and 4 lb. blocks.
More ice is better
We recommend filling your cooler with as
much ice as possible. Ideally, we suggest
an ice-to-contents ratio of 2:1.
