Food can typically be stored in an ice chest for 1 to 4 days, depending on the amount of ice used, the type of food, and the external temperature. Perishable items like meat and dairy should ideally be consumed within the first couple of days. To maximize storage time, keep the ice chest closed as much as possible and use ice packs or dry ice for longer storage. Regularly check the temperature inside; it should stay at or below 40°F (4°C) to ensure food safety.

How long does ice cream keep without taste deteriorating?

That depends upon your freezer and the ice cream formulation. Store it closely covered and around 0°F - it will keep longer. Ice cream does not keep as well in self-defrosting freezers - it doesn't like the temperature fluctuations. If you store it at temperatures where it is easy to serve, it won't keep as long. I have had ice cream get yucky within a week of purchase in my refrigerator freezer, but keep well for several months in a chest freezer.

How does and ice chest work?

An ice chest works by using insulation to trap the cold from ice, keeping the inside temperature low and preserving the contents. The thick walls of the chest prevent heat from entering, while ice helps maintain a cold environment inside. This combination helps keep food and drinks cold for an extended period of time.
