4- Cooler Pack
To help create a freezer pack for your cooler that won’t turn into melted ice or a condensation zone, you can use a frozen sponge. Check it out!
Instructions: Place a sponge inside of the Ziploc bag and add enough water to saturate it completely. Seal the bag and place it in the freezer. Once frozen, the sponge block acts as an ice pack, but it will capture any excess water that results from thawing.
5- Device Protector
To keep your touch screen devices like phones and tablets clear of water or debris hazards, wrap them in one of these bags. We realize that some of you may already have fancy waterproof phones, but this technique may still come in handy if you’re at the beach or in chef mode in your kitchen.
Instructions: Place your device snugly in the bag, clear any excess air, and seal it closed. That’s all!
6- Sorbet Maker
This is probably one of the coolest ways to use these bags. You’ll need to double them up to create a makeshift sorbet/slush maker with ice and salt, but the result is pretty awesome.
Instructions: In one bag, pour your favorite juice – chocolate milk would work great too! – into a small or medium-sized bag. Rub all the air pockets out and zip it shut. Place that bag inside of a larger zip top bag and fill it with ice. Just as with an ice cream maker, you will add salt to the ice, giving it the ability to get super freezable. Close the bag and shake it for at least 10 minutes. Remove the small bag from the larger one and wipe clean. Your liquid should have a slushy texture. Serve and enjoy!
