Retail ice cubes\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We are in the third decade of the 21st century now, but just a few years ago none of us would have thought that ice cubes would be an indispensable product for cooling drinks on hot days and that they would be available in every grocery shop or petrol station.<\/p>

It is safe to say that not everyone is yet aware that packed ice cubes are available in retail. And there are even more those who are not aware of the big difference between ice produced in bags, trays, and ice cube makers in their fridges and ice produced by a professional company, says Piotr Lewi\u0144ski.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Key differences<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The differences are really big and you should take a closer look at them. Firstly, the finished product is immediately available, unlike the home-made ice which requires time for preparation. Ready-to-use ice cubes we purchase in a shop are stored at -18 \u02daC in line with the regulations imposed on traders of frozen products. Secondly, ice produced by a reliable manufacturer is crystal clear.<\/p>

The third feature concerns the drink cooling time.\nThis requires more consideration. Compared to home-made or non-professional ice, the difference is really big. If you use a few ice cubes produced by a specialised company, you can expect long-lasting cooling. If you use home-made ice, the ice will have melted by the time you sit down on the sofa, irreversibly losing its ability to further cool the drink and causing the drink to dilute, says Piotr Lewi\u0144ski.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Taste of ice cubes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The fourth feature is the taste of the ice. It should be neutral. In the self-made ice, the water you used may give different types of aftertaste (brackish, bitter, sour, etc.) resulting from the predominance of minerals or other components. By contrast, as noted by Piotr Lewi\u0144ski, ice produced by an experienced manufacturer remains completely neutral thanks to the proper preparation of the water in a multi-stage filtration process. As a result, it will not affect the flavours of even the high-grade drinks.<\/p>

This brings us to the fifth, and probably most important, feature. In the context of the health safety of consumers, you should know that ice is considered a food, not a certain type of additive to beverages. Contrary to the stereotypes, the ice is not perfectly clear and not free of microorganisms. Like any food product, it can contain bacteria. Anything that is frozen in it is ingested by the consumer when they drink their beverage, emphasises Piotr Lewi\u0144ski.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Never compromise on safety<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The full health safety of the products can only be ensured by proper hygiene during production. All ice moulds, home ice makers, and catering or hotel ice machines require regular hygiene measures, including periodic disinfection. This sounds rather serious but should not be underestimated for health reasons.<\/p>

Given the differences we talked about, you should consider choosing packed ice cubes produced by professional companies.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
