The Black Ice Bucket with Lid features a simple design in black with a matte finish. It is cylindrical in shape, features a snug-fitting lid, and has two side handles for easy portability. This ice bucket is primarily used for chilling drinks, storing ice, or keeping food cold. It's ideal for use in living rooms, dining rooms, or outdoor spaces, providing a professional cooling experience.

1. Durable Stainless Steel

The Black Ice Bucket with Lid is made of 1.0 mm thick stainless steel with a high tensile strength of 300-400 MPa. It withstands the impacts and pressure of daily use without deformation or damage. Stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant and will not rust even in humid environments. Its lifespan is approximately 2-3 times longer than that of ordinary plastic ice buckets.

2. Excellent Insulation

The ice bucket offers excellent insulation, keeping ice cubes warm for 4-6 hours. This is due to its double-layer stainless steel construction, which creates an air barrier and effectively reduces heat transfer. The tight-fitting lid further enhances insulation, maintaining a constant temperature of 0-4°C inside the bucket, making it ideal for storing chilled drinks for extended periods.

3. Matte Finish

The ice bucket's surface features a matte finish with a roughness of approximately Ra0.8-1.6μm, creating a uniform matte finish. This finish not only enhances its appearance but also resists fingerprints, keeping it clean and tidy during daily use. The matte surface is scratch-resistant, making minor scratches invisible and easy to clean.

4. Excellent Sealing Performance

The ice bucket features a tight-fitting lid with a food-grade silicone seal 3-5 mm thick. The seal is temperature-resistant from -40°C to 200°C and maintains its elasticity and sealing properties within the normal operating temperature range of the ice bucket. The gap between the lid and the bucket is less than 1 mm, effectively preventing cold air from escaping and maintaining a low internal temperature.

5. Suitable Capacity

The ice bucket has a capacity of 3.0 liters and can hold approximately 25-30 standard ice cubes. This capacity is suitable for most families and small gatherings, and can satisfy the chilled drinks needs of 4-6 people in places like living rooms or patios. The lid's opening design makes ice easy to access, and the well-organized interior allows for organized storage of ice and drinks.

6. Ergonomic Handle Design

The Black Ice Bucket with Lid features two circular stainless steel handles, approximately 3 cm in diameter, with a polished, smooth, and burr-free surface. The handle is welded to the body, allowing it to withstand a tensile force of 15-20 kg. The handle is at an appropriate height, making it comfortable for users of all ages to hold and reducing the strain on the hand.

1. Living Room

In the living room, the Black Ice Bucket with Lid is an ideal choice for chilling drinks. Its 3.0-liter capacity accommodates gatherings of 4-6 people. For example, during a summer family gathering, you can place ice cubes and a few bottles of juice or carbonated drinks in the bucket and cover it to keep them cold. The ice bucket's simple, stylish matte black finish complements modern living room decor, adding a touch of sophistication.

2. Hotel Room

In hotel rooms, the ice bucket provides convenient cooling for guests. For example, in a mid-sized hotel room, the Black Ice Bucket with Lid allows guests to chill drinks on demand. The tight-fitting lid prevents spills and keeps the room clean. Available in a variety of colors, the ice bucket blends seamlessly into any hotel room's decor, creating a comfortable, professional environment and enhancing the hotel's service quality.

3. Restaurant Service

In restaurants, the Black Ice Bucket with Lid can be used to store and chill beverages. For example, in a medium-sized Western restaurant, waiters can place an ice bucket at the table to chill white wine or champagne. The ice bucket's heat retention ensures the drinks remain at the perfect temperature throughout the meal. Its matte black finish complements the restaurant's elegant ambiance, enhancing the dining experience.

4. Bar Venues

In a bar setting, an ice bucket is a valuable aid for bartenders. Bartenders can use it to store ice for a variety of cocktails. Its 3.0-liter capacity holds ample ice for peak demand. Its excellent heat retention prevents ice from melting, preserving its quality throughout the cocktail mix. Furthermore, the ice bucket's various colors complement the bar's lighting and décor, adding to the atmosphere.

Q: Will the Black Ice Bucket with Lid's insulation diminish with frequent openings?

A: Yes, the ice bucket's insulation does diminish with frequent openings. Each time the lid is opened, cold air escapes and hot air enters, accelerating ice melting. Under normal use, if the lid is immediately closed after opening, the ice bucket will maintain an internal temperature of 0-4°C for 4-6 hours. To extend this time, we recommend opening the lid less frequently and closing it promptly after use.

Q: Does the weight of the ice bucket affect its portability?

A: The weight of the ice bucket does have some impact on portability. The main body is made of stainless steel, approximately 1.0 mm thick. A 3.0-liter ice bucket weighs approximately 1.5-2.0 kg. When filled with ice and beverages, the total weight can reach 5-7 kg. Despite the loop handle, this weight may make it difficult for some users to hold or move for extended periods. However, the ice bucket is designed with practicality in mind. The handle is securely connected to the bucket body and can withstand 15-20 kg of force, ensuring safe carrying.

Q: Will the color of the ice bucket fade or darken?

A: The ice bucket is professionally sandblasted, forming a stable oxide film on the surface that provides excellent weather and aging resistance. Under normal use, the color is long-lasting and stable, and will not easily fade or darken. However, prolonged use in strong acid, alkali, or UV environments may cause slight color changes. To prolong the color, avoid exposing the ice bucket to strong light or chemical corrosives for extended periods.

Q: How can I prevent odors from forming inside the ice bucket?

A: Odors inside the ice bucket are usually caused by residual water, food residue, or prolonged cleaning. To prevent odors, clean the ice bucket promptly after use, remove any remaining ice and water, and rinse the inside with clean water to ensure there are no remaining food residues. To clean, wipe the interior with a dedicated deodorizer or white vinegar solution, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Weekly cleaning is recommended, but frequent use may require more frequent cleaning. When storing the ice bucket, ensure it is completely dry. Place a desiccant inside to prevent moisture and odors.

Q: Will the ice bucket handle feel cold in cold temperatures?

A: The ice bucket handle is made of stainless steel, which has low thermal conductivity. When filled with ice and cold water, the handle temperature is typically 5-10°C lower than the ambient temperature. While holding the handle for short periods of time won't cause noticeable cold sensations, prolonged or frequent contact may cause discomfort. During normal use, we recommend that users take appropriate protective measures based on their tolerance to ensure a comfortable experience.
