Want this question answered?
Metal is a good conductor of heat, therefore heat leaks out of it easily, and it does not keep food hot all that well. Styrofoam keeps food hot.
To keep cold food cold or hot food hot. Styrofoam is very good insulation.
i also want the answer to it but i have this rough idea as you know Styrofoam is a good insulter do u know why food is kept in a Styrofoam container its because it will the food warm for a longer time if it is kept in other types of containers. So i think it will be the same for ice chips it will keep the ice chips for a longer time i hope this helps

To contain things. The Styrofoam is an insulator so it will also tend to maintain the temperature of the thing it contains for a time. Thus if the thing contained in a hot liquid, one would be able to hold the container comfortably.
I buy the storage containers that have a good top. If the top comes off when you drop it, it is not a good storage container. Air tight is also good. The better the food is contained, the longer it will last.
It depends what is in it. :)
Styrofoam is a brand trade mark for extruded polystyrene foam. This foam is a very good insulator, and will trap heat, so keeping food hot for a long times.
Styrofoam cup is a good insulator because it is coated with foam
