    I used to transport stuff across to southern France - a 24 hour trip from home in an ordinary coolbox. If it started frozen it was almost thawed when I got there.

    These days I have an electric coolbox (powered by the car while driving and mains where I can find it) and do the same journey: if it starts frozen then it's still pretty much frozen when it gets there.

    Cool bags aren't nearly as good - go for a rigid box - an electric one if possible.
    If we are supposed to be thin, why does chocolate exist?
  • Hello - always put the cold blocks on top because cold air sinks and that helps to keep everything cooler.
