San Jamar RCU128 Rapi-Kool® ; 4L (128 oz.) Rapid Cooling Paddle

Used it to cool big pots of soup, after the 4th use, the side cracked and now I can't use it. Wasn't dropped or anything, just seemed to crack from the stark temperature change.

We bought the rapi-kool cooling paddle to cool the soups and sauces for portioning. They are large enough to cool soups or sauces in a large pot. We are very happy with the purchase.

We make a lot of home made soups in our store. This cooling paddle gets the soup cooled in 1 hour or so. It helps us stay within health code requirements.

For food safety you need to be able to drop your food temperature in a safe method and this is what that cooling pad allows you’re able to put it into a big stack of broth and bring the temperature to a safe minimum

This product is a must have for any kitchen. Proper cooling of products is such a key to food safety and these cooling paddles do wonders for taking hot product quickly through the cooling process.

Great product. Super useful for cooling down large amounts of liquids quickly. This is a food safety issue and it handles it well. Easy to clean,

No matter where we buy these, we have issues with them cracking and leaking. When they don't break, they serve their purpose quite well. Given the near disposable nature of the product, we just buy them wherever they are cheapest. So far this site has the best price.

We have several of these in our high volume establishment and they hold up well to the rigors of daily use and washing. They are very affordable too.

Works well for cooling stocks, baked beans, and other ingredients in the restaurant. I will probably need to buy a couple more, and these are a great option.

I don't know how anyone could live without this simple device. I use it to cool shrimp and crab after boiling so that I can cool them enough to stop the cooking and steep them in the seasoning. I also cool soups, chile and stews in order to reduce their temperature before I put them in the refrigerator; so that I don't raise the temperature in the refrigerator and cause a lot of the contents to reach the temperature "danger point" and start to grow bacteria. I keep mine in the door of my freezer and have it ready whenever I need it. You/I can't afford to be without it.......

I bought two of these over a year ago and they have seen frequent use in that time. I regularly make large batches of soup to portion out and freeze for meals. These coolers have drastically cut down on the amount of time it takes to cool the soup. It gives me piece of mind knowing my food is cooled properly for safety reasons. They have been very durable so far.

This product works like it should. I just didn't think about how big it was. So if I make a small pot of soup, I have to put it in a larger pot in order to fit the paddle in. Minor adjustment for home use that's all.

I love it. I'm glad I finally bought one. It seems a bit pricey for just a bit of plastic, but it's the type of foodservice plastic that makes it what it is.

Qualitative. Great for cooling soups, sauces, or anything else. These are pretty durable (except the lids if you aren't careful, but they come with an extra) and as an update to previous reviews, ours didn't have any pesky stickers to remove from the outside.

This rapid cooling paddle works great for rapidly cooling our bulk amounts of sides and stews. I fits easily in our small freezer as well.

This product absolutely does its job and cleans up very easily. So far no cracking or other signs of wear. Perfect item for any commercial kitchen.
