Prodyne Dips on Ice Acrylic Dip Bowl, 16 oz., clear

I ordered this serving bowl months ago and finally used it this weekend to hold homemade Ranch dip. The dip was used for veggies. First of all, after many parties, I knew I needed something of its kind as dips can easily reach room temperature when left out during a party. It was very simple: After making the dip, I poured it into the stainless steel container and covered it with the plastic cover included in the package. The plastic cover fit very tight which was great. When it was time to eat, I removed the stainless steel container from the refrigerator and uncovered it. I added crushed ice from the refrigerator ice dispenser to the acrylic container (half way) and placed the stainless steel container into the ice so that the ice covered most of the bottom. The dip stayed ice cold for the duration of the party (about 3 hours) at which time I covered the remaining dip and placed back into the refrigerator. Hardly any of the ice in the acrylic container had melted and there was no pooling of condensation on the countertop under the container. This is a very nice product which also looked very nice at the party.

Bought it as a wedding gift for my sister. She has said that it lasts for about an hour with the ice. Very eye pleasing and noticed by their company. Perfect for entertaining.

Nothing bugs me more than attending a party or reception where perishable food is left out for hours at room temp. Enter these wonderful iced servers! I have them in several sizes and use them often. Not only are they practical and durable, but they also make wonderful gifts!

This dish is beautiful and functional. It kept our dip cool all evening with only one ice refill.

Great product to keep dips cold at a warm outdoor party!
