In my lunch box I have a cool block to keep my packed lunch
fresh. I think if the lid of the container was made out of a
double layered gel (like the cool block) the lid could be put in
the freezer (using less space) and then put on my lunch box
this would do away with the separate block (which
keeps
getting lost).

just you tidy your room young man, I can see its a complete mess in there. you done your homework? nice to see you back. |
|
| |
Did you mean "buddy" or is "butty" a word? |
|
| |
The lid would have to be designed so as to separate the 'cool side' from the 'outside,' otherwise you'll have an ineffective thermal insulator.
|
|
| |
Q: Why not just velcro the coolpak to the lid?
My butt's feeling cooler already.
|
|
| |
Baked - there are coolers available with ice-pack blocks that screw into the lid. Generally, folks take the pack out of the lid to freeze it, but I guess you could stick the whole thing in the freezer. |
|
| |
you could make it so that the entire box can be chilled, but as one of your concerns was the amount of space used up this may not be to your liking. |

It may seem like a slightly perverse source of national pride, but the deep fried Mars Bar is a Scottish phenomenon, not a Northern English one. |
|
| |
One of my friends was very proud to live in Stonehaven (near Aberdeen), home of the first deep-fried Mars Bar. Although I don't think she ever had one herself. |
|
| |
Pah! Deep-fried mars bar, schmeep-fried mars bar. |
|
| |
Deep-fried choc-ice? Now *there's* a culinary classic. |
|
| |
Fort William should be famous for a little more than its mountain, you know. |
|

Deep fried Cadbury's Creme Eggs, now there's class. |

<OT> Welcome back [gizmo]. We need some help over at the IBD. Need to know if there's any advantage or disadvantage to the various Harry Potter Hogwarts houses. I figure you're the closest thing to an expert we're likely to come across. </OT> |

Deep fried mars bars are actually quite nice, UnaBubba. They are a heady combination of the sweet, the savoury and the greasy. It's like having all your post-piss-up munchies at once, thereby eliminating the hassle of fumbling with a kebab, packet of crisps (or pot noodle) and a wee poke of cola bottles. |

My son has a lunch bag, the sides of which are filled with the cool-pack blue fluid. You freeze the bag itself. It does not freeze solid and stays pliable. |
|
| |
My lunchtime sandwiches are made with sliced bread which has been stored in the freezer until sandwich-making time, ie the morning. By lunchtime, they've thawed to perfection; in the meantime, they've kept their lunchbox partners cool. |

phoenix: thanks, Hogwarts Houses:
Griffindor = Brave,
Slitherin = Evil,
Hufflepuff = Average,
Ravenclaw = Clever. |
|
| |
po: thanks, I have had other very important matters to
attend to, other than cleaning my room. |
|
| |
Good idea, but I have two comments. If you would lose the cool pack, wouldn't you be just as likely to lose your detachable lid? Secondly, the outside would need to be a seperate layer in order to be properly insulated and from keeping your box from being uncomfotably cold to carry. |
