Get the most out of your cooler: easy-to-use tips from Brisby

As product specialists at Brisby, we know exactly how to get the most out of your cool box or fridge box. Whether you’re heading to the beach, planning a picnic or preparing for a camping trip, these tips will help you keep your food and drinks cool and fresh for longer. Read on for our practical and easy-to-implement advice!

1. Place the cooling elements on top

Cold air sinks, which means it’s best to place the cool packs on top. Placing the cool packs on top of your food and drinks keeps the cold air circulating and keeps your products chilled for longer. This simple trick can really make a difference, especially on hot days.

2. Close the lid properly

It may sound obvious, but make sure that the lid of the cool box is always closed properly and do not leave the cool box open for too long. We sometimes see that the lid is not closed properly, causing cold air to escape. This significantly reduces the efficiency of the cool box. Always check that the lid is closed properly before putting the cool box away.

3. Pro tip - pre-cool

One of our best tips is to pre-cool your cooler. Place one or two frozen bottles of water in the cooler the night before you use it. This will also cool the cooler itself, before you fill it with food and drinks. If you pack the cooler the next day with your food, drinks and our cooling elements, everything will stay cool for even longer.

4. Keep the cooler clean

After your trip, it is important to clean the cooler properly. Empty the cooler and wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dirt and residue. Leave the lid open when storing the cooler so that it can air out. This helps prevent unpleasant odors and keeps your cooler fresh for next time.

5. Place the cooler in the shade

Although our Brisby coolers are designed to withstand extreme conditions, it is still better not to place the cooler in direct sunlight. By placing the cooler in the shade, you can enjoy your cold drinks even longer without the need for a cooler with electricity.
