Generally, a thermos can only keep ice cubes frozen for a few hours. However, the account owner named Nuryanto has a trick to store ice cubes in a thermos so that they don't melt quickly even if they are not moved to the refrigerator. So, the ice cubes can last longer, even all day .

The first trick, if there is water from melted ice cubes, it is better to put the water aside from the thermos as soon as possible. According to TikTok user @nuryanto.ayojualan, if the water is left, the remaining ice that is still frozen will melt faster in the thermos.
"The most important thing is to always drain the water regularly, don't let there be too much water in the ice box. If there is too much, it will melt quickly," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @nuryanto.ayojualan on Saturday (17/8).

On the other hand, the lid of the thermos that is being used to store ice cubes should not be left open for too long. Just open the lid of the thermos when taking ice cubes. Nuryanto said, air or wind from outside the thermos will speed up the process of melting ice cubes.
Nuryanto explained that these tricks can be practiced when there is no refrigerator. However, if there is a refrigerator, either a freezer or a chiller, he prefers to keep the ice cubes in the refrigerator so that the cold temperature remains stable.
