HEAVY duty insulated grocery bags anyone?

I didn't know you could recycle that stuff. I got it once when I ordered
those stuff from Omaha Steaks. Got another one when I ordered a
Thanksgiving meal. I got a lot of use out of those two. That year,
daughter and I did some lapidary and we used the coolers as work tables. If
I nicked it or spilled some glue on it, it didn't matter.

More recently I have gotten some with chocolate in them. But I broke them
up and threw them out. Next time I will recycle them.

I disagree. I also have her pasta pot. It was expensive, but... It's the
only oval pot I know of. It's long enough to hold spaghetti without having
to bend or break it.

The bags were cheap. Costco sells them.
 
"Bryan" Styrofoam doesn't recycle.

Of course it does. I used some styrofoam from my serger packaging to
protect pralines I shipped to our military in Afghanistan at Christmas.
They used it to pack a laptop being sent back home. When our Yorkie is
afraid of bad weather coming in, he retreats to his safe house built of
styrofoam packaging. (We don't know why it's safe - but he does.) It's
also great for stuffing a sack to kneel on when weeding the petunia bed.

Well, I've seen plenty of pots that are oval and can fit spaghetti.
And I've never seen the bags at CostCo other than the CostCo brand
blue bags.

ObFood: I ate a 1.5 quart container of ice cream the the last 28
hours. Is that wrong? I didn't know it was "Light" ice cream until I
got it home. So that's really only .75 quarts of REAL ice cream.
Plus I've a temp of 101+ for 3 days and that seems to help
temporarily.

Beware "Light" Ice Cream. Dryers really disguises the package so it's
hard to tell it's "Light"

I've not seen any blue bags. I have some Costco shopping totes. They are
multicolored but mainly green. Before I got the insulated bags, I would use
those, but wrap two or three around my items. I would not however keep them
in the van for long.

I have not seen any other oval pots but I have not really looked for them
either. I just saw her using the pasta pot on her show. I don't know why I
was watching it. I really can't stand her and normally would not watch the
show.

Hmmm...

If they are a decent size, keep on in the car in summer. Great for bringing
home frozen foods. I keep a 22 quart in the trunk.

That was my observation as well when I looked at them
in Costco.... pretty dang thin material!


How/why do you think they worked better than standard
plastic cooler? Don't understand that

Good idea on getting them free though!!!

I think the guy had a gas stove. He was valiantly trying to serve a
spaghetti and meatball dinner to about 12 people. Did a good job as
I recall - had plenty of booze to occupy hands and gullets while we
awaited the spread. Garlic bread, of course. I remember being
embarrassed when my date launched into his X rated limerick-songs and
the hoity toity guests looked askance at us.

I do not think my pasta pot would cook 12 servings but I've never tried it
for that much. It does handle 6 servings quite nicely. Does not take up
two burners. Yes, it probably does take slightly longer to come to a boil
because the ends are not directly on the burner. I like it for when I boil
a lot of potatoes too.

Yeah, but when the glass top on your expensive KitchenAid gas range cracks,
don't expect them to replace it under warranty. I've seen it happen to a
friend's range and there was no warranty coverage, only a response referring
him to the warning in the manual.

They are fairly thick walled for one thing, otherwise, I just think it's
because it's the best insulating material to be had at a reasonable price. I
once had some steaks in one of the small extra-thick walled medicine
shippers with an ice pack and it literally sat in the summer sun on a
camping trip for a couple days. The steaks were still ice cold when I got
them out. They are also lighter and much cheaper than a hardwall cooler. I
think it's all in the thickness of the styro.
 
resturant supply house, you want insulated delivery containers, look like
soft sided coolers, and imho smaller hard side coolers work well... when we
stock up, usually for the winter we just take the coolers in and have the
checker pack it in the coolers, means we don't have too its packed tighter
and no pesky bags to discard either,
