you ever forgotten to stock your refrigerator with your favorite soda?
. Fortunately, it is possible to chill canned and bottled drinks in a
matter of minutes with this easy method, and without diluting the drink
itself with ice.
1-Measure the temperature
of the drink. This step is optional; once you open a can, this method
won't be as effective. If this is your first time trying it, though, it
will be interesting to record how drastically the temperature can
change.
2-Fill a bowl (the thicker
and/or more insulated the better) with water and add ice to it. Add as
much ice to the water as you can, but not so much that it prevents the
entire beverage container from being submerged into the water. A 50/50
mix of ice and water is a good rule of thumb.
3-Add table salt to the
ice. A small handful should do. Adding salt lowers the freezing
temperature of the water. That means that the water can get colder than
the normal freezing temperature (32F, 0C) without turning into ice,
causing your soda to litterally explode.
4-Place your drinks in the
ice water solution and rapidly stir them all around. By stirring,
you're using forced convection to speed the transfer of heat out of
your drink and into the ice water solution.
5-Wait two minutes. Measure
the temperature of one of the drinks - the temperature should have
fallen dramatically in a very short time. If it needs more time
chilling, stir the remaining drinks in the salted ice water for another
minute or two.
6-Enjoy your cold drink. It should now be about the perfect temperature to quench your thirst.
