Would this cooler keep popsicles or other frozen foods from thawing?

This is a standard ice chestOn wheels with pull handle that extends away from the chestIt is large 48"Holds ice nice for a couple of dayd

Technically the answer is no. Because the cooler isn't a freezer the inside temperature will be higher than a freezer. But with that said, this will keep things cold for a long time. I brought this to the desert once and after sitting in the sun for days there was still some ice left, no much ice, but impressive none the less.

Depends on your time frame and ambient temperature. It is not better or worse that other similar coolers on the market. If you are serious about keeping stuff frozen for more than a few hours you are going to need to pack with dry ice or invest in a freezer that can run off a car battery. For my purposes it keeps milk and meat cold for several days but I change put the ice every 48-72 hrs depending on how hot it is.

I would say no. I use old ice cream buckets for that. I don't think they are made for the freezer.

if it is going to freeze yes. Other wise it is probably a good idea even if it doesn't freeze.

It cools better than an insulated cooler, but not as well as a refrigerator. Perhaps it would stay very cold if you froze a block of ice to supplement. The quantity in the cooler makes a difference.

In my experience, no. The ice pops I made became slushy as the children ate them in the sun. Perhaps a yogurt "ice pop" might stay frozen-ish if you wrapped in it an ice pack, but I would recommend testing it on your counter first.

It can, but needs to be about half unfrozen. Mine tended to smoke if the frozen item was hard.

I have not used it for cold but I would imagine it would keep things cool also. It does a great job keeping hot. I would just throw a couple cold packs in with it.

We keep ours in the frig. Don't know if we could hold them if they got "freezer cold". Pop does stay cold for the whole can with it just chilled.

I have used them to freeze leftovers. As long as there is enough room left for the contents to expand when frozen, it should be fine.

I have only used it for cold items. With an ice pack it stays cold for about 6 hours.

Yes! Stays cold for hours! It is stiff & hard until it thaws some, so be sure to freeze it flat

It definitely could, but very small cubes, since the freezer is only big enough to hold a small tray. And frozen dinners? Maybe one.

I think the seal would be adequate but the containers may be a little too brittle when frozen.

Like any Styrofoam cooler, if you want to keep something cold, you will need to add ice or some other frozen product to keep food or liquid cold.

Pretty simple, actually. Just lay whatever frozen (unpackaged) items you want to thaw on the tray and wait.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

I keep it in my office "dorm" fridge. I don't have a freezer with that. Might work well. This helps keep soda cans cooler for awhile, but not as well as I had hoped.
