The Brand
An icepack….in the shape of a bowl? That’s what The Coolit is. Carrie and Matt grew
tired of always having to blow on their daughter’s food to cool it down. They
grew tired of constant stress that was associated with family meal times. Until
one night Carrie had an idea, “What if there was an icepack in the shape of a
bowl that could quickly cool down food?” She mentioned the idea to her husband
Matt that evening and The Coolit was
born.
The Products
The
Coolit is a bowl that you keep in your freezer until mealtime when you
can take it out and place your child’s hot food in it and it will cool to just
the right temperature in under one minute. It’s great for all hot food types, is
top rack dishwasher safe, and it fits easily in any freezer.
The Reason
The main reason this is my Monthly
Mommy Must-Have this month is because it really does work. Sometimes for
lunch I give my kids hot dogs or chicken nuggets with the easy mac cup of
macaroni. I mean these things only take three minutes to cook in the microwave
but it seemed like after I pulled it out of the microwave I had to leave it in
the freezer for about 10 minutes just so it could cool down enough to serve to
my children. Needless to say, I was eager to see if The Coolit would make a difference and it definitely did. I simply poured
their macaroni into The Coolit
(images below), stirred it around a few times and it was ready to serve. So
much better than blowing the food, my kids burning their mouths or having to
leave the food in the freezer for 10 minutes to cool. Here are some pics of how
easy it is to use (keep in mind that my freezer is on the fritz and my Coolit came out covered in ice but you
get the point). The Coolit is
available for $10 at thecoolit.com.
