Quickly and easily cool foods from the "inside out" with this Vigor Polar Paddle 4 liter; (135 oz.) blue cooling paddle.

This cooling paddle is a great way to rapidly cool soups and other foods that can't go into a blast chiller, especially in taller stock pots and large batches. Its smooth exterior makes it easy to remove foods to reduce waste, while also ensuring the paddle is easy to clean and sanitize. For best results, do not use in temperatures greater than 195 degrees Fahrenheit or less than -20 degrees Fahrenheit. To preserve the life of your paddle, fill with ice and water and use immediately. It is recommended to fill the units entirely with ice, then add cold water at or below the max fill line to fill in the voids around the ice cubes. If you want to freeze your paddle ahead of time, fill the paddle with water at or below the max fill line, and NEVER exceed the line. Place the paddle in the freezer on its side to allow for optimal space for the water to expand. Once frozen using either method, the product can be used to bring the food temperature through the temperature danger zone (41 degrees F - 135 degrees F).

How to Use

Easily fill the wide mouth with ice and water. Then, place the paddle in your piping hot foods while stirring for 3-5 minutes to rapidly bring them out of the temperature danger zone. Refrigerate your foods with the paddle inside and check the temperature every 20 minutes with a thermometer. Once cooled to 41 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the paddle and store your foods until ready for service. To avoid spills and messes, you can use a food safe plastic bag with this paddle while storing it or chilling it in the fridge. Do not fill product past the max fill line as this has been proven to cause cracking.

Preferred Fill Method

It is recommended to fill the paddle with ice and water and use it immediately. To do this, fill the paddle with ice all the way to the top and then fill with water at or below the max fill line. When using this method, avoid putting the paddle in the freezer. This quick, convenient method allows for fast filling and immediate use of the paddle, eliminating the need to wait for the paddle to freeze. The paddle's wide mouth design makes it easy to fill with ice and water.

Freezer Fill Method

Users also have the option to fill the paddle with water only, and then freeze it. To use this method, fill the paddle with water at or below the max fill line. You should never exceed this line. Then, freeze the paddle on its side to allow for enough expansion into the neck of the paddle. Allow 24 hours for the paddle to become completely frozen. Please note that the water and ice method is preferred, as this method will shorten the life of the paddle.

Durable Construction

This cooling paddle is made of durable polycarbonate to stand tough against freezing-heating cycles. Innovative cooling fins provide maximum surface area for faster chilling to reduce the amount of time foods are in the temperature danger zone.

No More Lost Caps

The tethered design of this easy-screw cap adds convenience and ensures it never gets lost or mistakenly thrown out. This paddle is an essential component for HACCP compliance in any commercial kitchen.

    Thought my staff was mishandling them until I found out it was me that bought junk paddles...not worth it and quite annoying/dissapointing that Webstaurant would have these in their selection...

    Junk! I bought 4 of these to keep cold brew coffee cold throughout the day. I filled to the indicated line and 2 cracked by the 3rd Dan and the other 2 only lasted a week. I will have to find another solution as I had thought these were better quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Store your cooling paddle on its side to allow more room for the water to expand while freezing. By allowing more room in the paddle for the water to freeze in the neck and body of the paddle, warping and cracking is prevented.

Cracked within about 2 weeks of use. The quality of the plastic is obviously terrible given other similar reviews and that this appears to be a common problem. Don't waste your money.

Waste of money. I had previously purchased the 'hotel pan' version and it burst. Assuming that my staff did something wrong, I purchased this one and have been the only one using it, never passing the 'fill line' and never allowing it to fall. It still broke. I am not even sure what to do next but I am very unhappy.
