I’ve used on three occasions so far and it has performed fine. Kept my drinks cold enough. Although not has cold as normal ice. But I do like the product and will continue to use.
When Ice Changes State, the Environment Changes Too
As traditional ice absorbs heat, it transitions from solid to liquid. That liquid water doesn’t disappear — it collects at the bottom of the cooler.
Now instead of a cold solid sitting next to your food or fish, you have cold water pooling around it.
Water transfers heat differently than air. It also creates direct contact exposure.
In short: The cooling method shifts from “solid ice contact” to “submersion in meltwater.”
Cooling Without Creating Water
Reusable ice works differently.
Instead of changing state and becoming water inside your cooler, the cooling medium remains sealed.
Heat is absorbed.
Cooling still occurs.
But the surrounding environment stays dry.
That means:
- No pooled freshwater
- No shifting from solid cooling to water submersion
- More predictable internal conditions
The temperature may be similar — but the behaviour is different.
That’s the key distinction.
Cooling is heat transfer
Melted ice water changes storage conditions
Better suited for multi-day trips and frequent use than buying ice repeatedly
Why This Science Becomes Practical
The difference between melting ice and sealed cooling matters most when:
- Cooling is needed for extended periods
- Food or fish sits directly in the cooler
- Clean storage conditions matter
- Ice replacement isn’t convenient
Understanding how heat and water behave helps explain why some people move away from disposable ice for repeat use
Ezee Freeze was designed around this principle — to deliver cooling without introducing meltwater into the storage environment.
FAQ's
Is reusable ice colder than traditional ice?
Both cool by absorbing heat. The difference lies in how they behave during use, not just starting temperature.
What is latent heat of fusion?
It’s the energy absorbed when ice changes from solid to liquid. This is why melting ice can remove significant heat.
Does sitting in melted ice affect food?
Prolonged exposure to pooled water can change storage conditions. Many storage systems aim to keep food elevated above melted ice water.
Is reusable ice less effective than ice because it doesn’t melt?
Not necessarily. Cooling effectiveness depends on total thermal capacity and insulation. The key difference is environmental behaviour during use.

Works great on the boat. Easy clean up!! Keeps things cold all day!
Had some warm (Hot)sodas laying around , I’d thought I’d throw some in my Yeti roadie15 to test the cubes out before I hit the gym. Once I got home from gym 2hrs later . I grab a soda. It was drinkable but not yet cold enough to fully. So later around 4/5hrs inside cooler with ice . I check it before I head to bed. And they’re cold !! Definitely prechilled my cooler& sodas. So I went to work at 5am the next morning and grabbed a soda to see if it got colder. They’re were really cold . Emptied out my cooler with that ice already in it and now placed a yeti ice (small & medium )and placed my water , a Ghost, protein shake, and meal prep. Then added the same ice. It left no water spoilage and some ice cubes definitely were still frozen some weren’t . But overall i purchased another 2 more 10lbs bags.
They work great!!! We use them for our travel baseball tournaments and any other time we need ice in a cooler. Wish I would have bought them sooner. Very easy to clean and let dry in the dish drying rack. Would highly recommend!
Great keeps cold for a while
Used it at the race this past weekend in Daytona and it worked great!
We use these with ice and cooler freeze packs. We are happy with how long everything stays cold.
Hice la mejor elección Al principio tenia duda si me iva a funcionar Pero despues de probarlo quede encantada y muy satisfecha Lo pongo en mi hielera desde las 6 am y llego ami casa alas 8 pm y todavia los de abajo llegan congelados Me encantan 100% recomendadisimos Cómprenlos vale mucho la pena
I love them for my cooler and my misting fan
Great idea!
So handy in our Ice Castle Fish house. Camping in frozen lakes and not having to worry about buying ice in the middle of winter is a game changer!!! Love Love Love!!
Glad these came in when they did. Lasted 5 days in the cooler in the shade and were still pretty cool. easy to clean and bag back up. Didn't have any of em pop. Edit: I live in Hawaii and we just got blasted by tropical storm Lala, these came in clutch. Waited few hours to see if the power would come back on, it didn't. loaded everything from the fridge and one of the freezers and had this stuff ready to rock from the stand alone freezer. Its got my stamp of approval.
Love them!!!!!!!
Everytime we go on a trip I always take a long my cooler and Ezee freeze just in case we find something that needs to be kept cold. So convenient to use compared to buying ice 🧊. A really nice product.
Haven't tried them out just yet but I will this coming weekend (8/1/26). Love the color and they match my one of my coolers so that's cool. Hopefully they keep our drinks chill during the Texas summer heat...
I honestly haven't used them yet but they seem durable and well made. I've had them in the freezer for over 2 weeks now and will be officially using them this weekend (8/1/26). Going to make some adult beverages and throw them in the cooler to keep the drinks chill. Can't wait!!
Works great. Better than I expected. I bought it to use in a machine to ice my knee post knee replacement after spending $100s on store bought ice. Planning to buy more of this for my next knee replacement.
Awesome, no mess, keeps everything cold!!!
We've been really impressed with these reusable ice cubes. We recently bought a Yeti Roadie 32 for a road trip and used Yeti Ice blocks on the bottom and top, with our food in the middle and these reusable ice cubes filling the gaps. The cooler rode in the back of the car during our travels and stayed with us in hotel rooms. Since we weren't opening it very often, everything stayed cold for about two days, which honestly exceeded our expectations. These worked really well alongside the Yeti Ice blocks and helped keep everything evenly chilled. The only downside was the mesh storage bag. It ripped during our trip, and we think we ended up losing a few of the cubes because of it. Thankfully, the cubes themselves held up great. Overall, we're really happy with them and will definitely keep using them on future road trips.
I love this Ezee Freeze ice cubes I love that there is no mess just put the cubes back in the bag when your done freeze them again love it the colors are awesome red white and blue.
This ice is awesome! We have used it several times and it really works! We ordered the red white and blue special edition and ended up only receiving red and blue ice cubes. When we noticed we did not have any white ones we contacted the customer service and they were super easy to deal with. They literally sent us a bag with white cubes in it and it arrived quickly! Overall we have been nothing but pleased with all of their products and especially their customer service. Highly recommended
Love them! Buying more to replace ice packs and no more ice on trips.
Loaded up my Yeti and they stayed cold for 3 days.
Our drinks stayed cool in the heat! Glad I purchased this bag.
These are great!!! We’ve used them several times since we got them. They work great!!!
Glad I bought these!!
These reusable ice cubes are fantastic! They keep drinks cold without watering them down, which makes a huge difference for iced coffee, cocktails, and even kids’ drinks. They freeze quickly, are easy to clean, and can be used over and over again, making them an eco-friendly alternative to regular ice. The quality is excellent, and they stay cold long enough to enjoy your drink without losing flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and reusable option!
Kept everything very cold
I got the bag so I could try it out and I loved it I use them for my lunch box to fill in the space to keep my food cold till lunch at work and it way better than the blue block that only cools one side of my lunch box
Finally was able to try out Ezee and I was happy with the results. My cooler and drinks stayed cold all weekend and had no water. There was very little condensation in the cooler. My friends all had ice, the ice melted and left their coolers full of water. I look forward to using these cubes enough to make them cost effective over buying ice.
Absolutely the best purchase!! No need for messy ice ANYMORE!!! Stays freezing cold even in the hot sun for hours and hours!!
Amazing product. For real. Use everyday for work
This was amazing for a long day at the ball field ! Will be buying another bag!
Bought these ice cubes for use on our boat and they are perfect!!! So much better than buying ice every time we take the boat out!
They are great reusable ice cubes! Always get compliments on them and bring more people to my booth just for the ice. They keep everything cool and don’t cause a mess like traditional ice does. The shipping was the only reason for the 4 stars. I don’t think that I needed to wait over a week for these to be delivered.
Love the convenience of not needing ice. The reusable ice is great. They don't stay frozen as long as I thought but the coldness last as long as I needed.
Just cleaned out my cooler from a week ago and the water and soda was still cool. Love these cubes. No messy water, everything still as clean as we put it in.
My order was placed and delivered without delay or issues. I bought 2 of the mega packs 10#. They froze right up quickly and I had them out on the river memorial weekend in 90• weather & they worked great and they work as describe. I’m definitely buying more and I have recommended it to all my friends. Absolutely great product. 10/10
They're awesome, always ready to go. If you don't forget to put Em in the freezer😂
I have only used once and when I took the cubes out of my ice chest I noticed yellow/orange marks on the bottom that the cubes left. Not sure how I feel about the leakage/spots coming from them. Will give them another try and see how it goes.
