You're headed to a party with homemade apple pie and spice cake. Please bring a tub of vanilla ice cream before you go. How do you do it without bringing melted ice cream soup?
When traveling in winter with the heat on high, this can be an issue. Or worst, it could happen in summer when everyone needs your relaxation snack. There is a failsafe way to transport ice cream without it melting quickly. You only need bubble wrap.
Not everyone has bubble wrap at home, which is understandable. Since bubble wrap is rarely used, they may throw it away after one use. This technique lets you save bubble wrap from deliveries or buy a roll at an office supply store for safekeeping.
If you don't pop the bubbles, bubble wrap can last years. For easy shipping, wrap the ice cream container in bubble wrap. Bubble wrap insulates cold air and reduces heat flow.
Why does bubble wrap transport ice cream? It's simple. Bubble wrap is used to cushion fragile items with air-filled pockets. These pockets help insulate against heat loss and entry. It can help keep warm food warm during transport.
For a short commute, wrap bubble wrap around the ice cream container and proceed. This keeps it cool for hours. For a longer travel or a commute without a freezer, you can protect bubble-wrapped ice cream in a cooler with ice.
Bubble wrap can also save fragile foods like cookies from breaking during a bumpy travel or when shipped in parcels.
