Product Characteristics

The Stainless Steel Ice Bucket is known for several standout features that make it the best choice for the restaurant industry. Below is a list of its specific characteristics:

• High-quality food steel

  The ice bucket is made of food-grade stainless steel. Food-grade stainless steel meets strict food safety standards, does not react chemically with ice or drinks, avoids the precipitation of harmful substances, and protects the health of users. From the professional data, the migration of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium in this stainless steel is far lower than the national standard. For example, the migration of lead is less than 0.01mg/dm², and the migration of cadmium is less than 0.005mg/dm², ensuring safety during use. At the same time, stainless steel is sturdy and durable, can withstand certain external impacts, and is not easy to deform or damage, providing reliable protection for the long-term use of ice buckets.

  
  

• Excellent corrosion resistance

  Due to the characteristics of stainless steel, ice buckets have excellent corrosion resistance. In common use environments, such as contact with salty water (such as cleaning ice buckets after a party at the seaside), weak acidic detergents, etc., there will be no obvious corrosion on the surface of the ice bucket. Professional experiments show that after soaking in a 3% salt solution and an acidic solution with a pH value of 5 for 72 hours, the surface of the ice bucket only shows a very slight color change, and there is no substantial corrosion damage. This allows the ice bucket to be used for a long time in various complex environments, maintaining the stability of its appearance and performance, and reducing the frequency of replacement due to corrosion.

  
  

• Safe use design

  The overall design of the ice bucket focuses on safety. The edge of the bucket body has been finely polished, smooth and without sharp corners, to prevent users from being scratched when taking ice cubes or carrying the ice bucket. The design of the ice clip is also ergonomic, comfortable to hold, and the chuck part has an anti-slip design, which can firmly clamp the ice cubes to prevent them from slipping. After testing, the ice clip has a success rate of more than 95% when clamping ice cubes of different shapes and sizes, ensuring the safety and smoothness of the ice retrieval process. In addition, the ice bucket has good stability and is not easy to tip over when placed on the desktop, which further ensures safety in use.

  
  

• Environmentally friendly materials

  The stainless steel material used in the ice bucket is a typical environmentally friendly material with significant environmentally friendly characteristics. From the perspective of resource utilization, stainless steel can be efficiently recycled and reused. Professional data shows that the recycling rate of stainless steel is as high as over 90%, which means that after the service life of the ice bucket ends, most of the materials can re-enter the production process and be transformed into new products, greatly reducing the dependence on and mining of primary mineral resources. In the production process, stainless steel has lower energy consumption and pollutant emissions than some other materials. The carbon dioxide emissions generated by producing each ton of stainless steel are about 30% less than those of producing some plastic materials. Moreover, stainless steel has good durability and can be reused for more than 10 years or even longer under normal use and maintenance.

  
  

• Various sizes available

  The size of the ice bucket is customizable, with a standard size of approximately 9.61 x 7.76 x 7.72 inches, and can also be customized according to customer needs. Ice buckets of different sizes can meet different scenarios and needs. For example, small-sized ice buckets are suitable for daily family use and are convenient to place in the kitchen or on the dining table; large-sized ice buckets are suitable for large gatherings, hotels and other places, and can accommodate more ice cubes to meet the needs of multiple people using them at the same time. By providing a variety of size options, ice buckets can better adapt to various usage scenarios.

  
  

• Good sealing performance

  The lid and the body of the ice bucket adopt a high-quality sealing design. After the sealing performance test, when the ice bucket is filled with water and ice cubes, the ice bucket is placed upside down for 1 hour, and only a very small amount of water seeps out, which is almost negligible. Good sealing performance effectively reduces the leakage of cold air, maintains the low temperature environment inside the ice bucket, and prolongs the melting time of ice cubes. At the same time, the sealing design can also prevent external dust and impurities from entering the ice bucket, ensuring the hygiene and purity of ice cubes, and providing users with clean and safe ice cubes.

  
  

• Long-term insulation effect

  The ice bucket adopts a double-layer insulation structure and has excellent insulation performance. After rigorous insulation testing, the ice bucket was filled with ice cubes at a room temperature of 25℃. After 5 hours, the internal temperature of the ice bucket only rose by about 6-8℃. The insulation layer between the double-layer structure effectively blocks the transmission of external heat, greatly slowing down the melting of ice cubes. This allows the ice bucket to maintain a low temperature environment for a long time, whether it is a long outdoor party or an indoor party, it can continuously provide a cooling effect for drinks, so that users do not need to frequently add ice cubes and enjoy a long-lasting cool experience.

  
  

• Convenient ice tongs

  The matching ice tongs are a highlight of this product. The ice tongs are made of the same stainless steel as the ice bucket, which is sturdy and durable. Its length is moderate, generally 15-20 cm, which is convenient for users to take ice cubes from the ice bucket. The chuck of the ice tongs is reasonably designed, which can easily pick up ice cubes of different sizes, and will not cause excessive squeezing of the ice cubes and cause them to melt quickly. In actual use, users can easily and hygienically take ice cubes through the ice tongs, avoiding direct contact with ice cubes with their hands, and improving the convenience and hygiene of use.

  
  

The product’s stainless steel construction is not just about durability. It is also key to its ease of maintenance. A smooth surface means that food residue or smudges can be wiped off easily.

Insulated Ice Bucket With Tongs Maintenance

• Clean promptly after use

  After each use of Insulated Ice Bucket With Tongs, it should be cleaned promptly. First, rinse off the ice residue and stains inside with clean water, and then use a mild neutral detergent and a soft cloth to wipe the inside and outside of the bucket and the surface of the ice tongs. Avoid using strong acid or alkaline detergents to avoid corrosion of the stainless steel surface. When cleaning, pay attention to cleaning every corner of the ice bucket and the chuck part of the ice tongs to ensure that no stains remain. Timely cleaning can prevent stains from drying on the surface and keep the ice bucket and ice tongs hygienic and neat in appearance.

  
  

• Avoid collision and scratching

  During daily use and storage, avoid collision or scratching of ice buckets and ice tongs with other hard objects. Although stainless steel has a certain wear resistance, violent collisions or scratches from sharp objects may still cause scratches or deformation on the surface. When carrying an ice bucket, it should be handled with care and placed on a stable surface. The ice tongs should also be placed properly to avoid friction with other objects. If there are slight scratches on the surface, you can use a special stainless steel care agent to wipe it to reduce the obviousness of the scratches.

  
  

• Regular deep cleaning

  In addition to daily cleaning, deep cleaning should also be performed regularly. You can use a special stainless steel cleaning paste to thoroughly clean the ice bucket and ice tongs every 1-2 months. Apply the cleaning paste to the surface, wipe gently with a soft cloth, then rinse with clean water and wipe dry. Deep cleaning can effectively remove long-term accumulated stains and bacteria, and maintain the hygiene and gloss of the ice bucket and ice tongs. At the same time, regular deep cleaning can also extend the service life of the product.

  
  

• Dry storage environment

  Ice buckets and ice tongs should be stored in a dry environment when not in use. A humid environment can easily cause rust on the surface of stainless steel, affecting the appearance and performance of the product. You can choose to place it in a cabinet or drawer to avoid direct contact with the ground and prevent moisture. If the storage environment is relatively humid, you can place some desiccant in the ice bucket to absorb moisture and keep the interior dry. A dry storage environment helps protect the stainless steel material and prevent it from rusting due to oxidation reaction.

  
  

• Prevent heavy objects from squeezing

  When storing ice buckets, be careful to prevent heavy objects from squeezing. Although ice buckets have a certain carrying capacity, long-term squeezing by heavy objects may cause the barrel body to deform, affecting its sealing performance and appearance. The ice bucket should be placed alone or with other lightweight items, and avoid placing heavy items on top of it. The ice tongs should also be protected from excessive squeezing to maintain the integrity of their shape and function.

  
  

• Check the condition of accessories

  Regularly check the sealing parts of the ice bucket and the use of the ice tongs. If the sealing ring of the ice bucket is found to be aged, deformed or damaged, it should be replaced in time to ensure good sealing performance. For the ice tongs, check whether the elasticity and clamping function of the chuck are normal. If it is damaged or loose, it should be repaired or replaced in time. Good accessory condition can ensure the normal use and performance of the product, providing users with a better user experience.
