Food in a cooler

Lumina20 Posts: 966 Joined: 2001/10/31	2002/08/22, 06:28 PM OK so maybe this is a question that has been asked before, but couldn't find an answer through the search. I'm going to be out of the house a lot starting in a couple of weeks, so I wanted to carry food with me in a cooler. How long does food last in a cooler? Can I get through 12 hours eating food from a cooler and not get sick? Any suggestions on good foods to put in a cooler? Anybody out there? =)

I put in ice pack you can refreeze and reuse. One or two of those and it keeps the food cold. Make sure the cooler is insulated to keep things cool and I would not really leave it in a car in the sue etc if you can help it. -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

One reason is that it is easier to eat with out having to get up and run all the way to the break room (I work in a large buliding). Two is that there is never enough room for the size cooler I have (haha it is much larger than everyones). Third is that a year or so ago we had a co worker that would open you lunch and take bites out of sandwhiches, eat half a cup of yogurt etc. So I keep it close. -------------- Life comes by only once....Live it to the fullest!

No one has stolen them yet. hmmmmmmmmmm Where I work it is a big probability your lunch will disappear. The ice packs work great and economical too. :) Melissa -------------- Attitudes are contagious, is yours worth catching?

I solved the problem with a Tuna sandwhich loaded with metamucill not only did I find the culprett every one else in cluding myself has not lost a lunch since. I think that is a pretty low thing taking someone elses lunch that is. -------------- Never be afraid to try something new.

Sempai, I'm still pissed about the metamucil. I had to throw away several pairs of underwear. Thanks a lot. Mike, you've saved me a ton of money on shakes!

Also keep the cooler clean. Use your own taste buds to double check, if it taste spoiled dont eat eat it. ============ Quoting from lumina20: OK so maybe this is a question that has been asked before, but couldn't find an answer through the search.

Okey, I'll take empty shakers with the protein powder (so I only need to put water), protein bars, nuts and egg whites but I don't really think that I'll be able to get a real meal before the others at around 10-11pm Saturday night (the French people often eat late). I'll be sooooo hungry lol but it's the wedding of some very good friends so I better keep on the smile (and avoid chewing too much...)!!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
