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.

Extremely disappointed. While these could be great, both of these paddles suffered damage for no reason after a few uses. I take care of my equipment and of these 2 paddles, one of them cracked and the other no longer closes due to an issue with the lid lining.

These are great! The paddle is used to cool down our homemade sauces, and also used at the end of the night to cool all product off the kitchen line. Perfect size to use for all kinds of different products you need to cool down.

The Vigor Polar Paddle (4L) has worked great for us! It is very helpful when cooling down liquids to reach safe storage temperatures. The wide opening makes it easy to fill with cubed ice so there is no waiting on water to freeze before use. Great product!

Works great to cool down soups and sauces that need to get refrigerated ASAP. It's large so works best for larger quantities. Easy to store. We just stick it in the corner of our walk in freezer and then it's ready for the next time we need it!

Thick plastic so it doesn't break and helps cool down the product quickly! Lid stays on tightly and is compact so it doesn't take up too much space!

I love the idea of cooling paddles. I've tried several different sizes, shapes and brands. They are all so fragile. The end up breaking or cracking within a short period of time. I bought 3 of these. Two are already broken after 2 weeks.

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.
