The length of time food stays cold in a cooler with ice can vary depending on factors like the amount of ice, cooler insulation, and outside temperature. Generally, food can stay cold for about 24-48 hours in a well-insulated cooler with enough ice.
Food will stay cold in a cooler without ice for about 2-4 hours, depending on factors like the outside temperature and how well the cooler is insulated.
Food can stay frozen in a cooler for up to 24 hours, depending on the quality of the cooler and the amount of ice or ice packs used.
Frozen food can stay frozen in a cooler for about 24-48 hours, depending on factors like the quality of the cooler and how often it is opened.
Frozen food can stay in a cooler for up to 24 hours before it becomes unsafe to consume. It is important to keep the cooler well-insulated and at a consistent temperature to prevent food from thawing and spoiling.
Food like hot pasta or a hot hamburger can stay warm by being put in a thermos or an insulated wrapping or food bag. Things like cold water or cold pasta salad can remain cold in a cooler or on ice.
Frozen meat can stay frozen in a cooler for up to 24-48 hours, depending on the quality of the cooler and the surrounding temperature.
Meat will stay frozen in a cooler without ice for about 24-48 hours, depending on the temperature and insulation of the cooler.

Coolers are equipped with a very elegant temperature regulation mechanism. A thermocouple implanted in the cooler insulation detects temperature gradients between the interior and exterior surfaces of the cooler. If the initial gradient is measured to be rising in temperature toward the center of the cooler, the cooler insulation automatically orients itself to reflect heat back toward the center of the cooler, thereby keeping the contents warm. Conversely, if the temperature gradient detects that the contents of the cooler are cold, the insulation reverses its orientation to deflect exterior heat and preserve the colder temperatures on the inside of the cooler. All of this is accomplished through the use of a non-newtonian polymer embedded with thermo-sensitive alloys which alter their magnetic polarity to align with termperature gradients. As the temperature gradient changes so does the magnetic polarity which alters the insulation alignment in the appropriate direction. A competing theory is that coolers do not "know" to keep food hot or cold, rather they are insulated and there-by stablilize the temperature and prevent it from changing. If you place hot items in an insulated container they will stay hot, cold items will stay cold.
It will certainly not stay cold as long as if it were capped.
You stay in a cold area and eat cold drinks and food
Meat can stay frozen in a cooler for up to 24-48 hours, depending on the quality of the cooler and the surrounding temperature. It is important to keep the cooler well-insulated and to replenish the ice regularly to maintain the frozen temperature.
