Chill [Out] Mat

OK, then: you've transported all your cold stuff in your nifty Therma-A-Snap bag and now you're all set for the cookout.

But how're you gonna keep your ingredients cool as they prepare for their grand entrance?

Thought you'd never ask.

From the website:

Keep food chilled for 4 hours!

This insulated mat will keep shrimp or fresh fruit nice and cold for several hours — without drippy ice.

Just freeze the pack and slip it into the neoprene cover.

• 12" square.

• No need for a bucket of ice!

• Use this handy mat next to the grill to keep uncooked foods safe.

• Buy two and store one in the freezer, ready to use.

• Keep the other one handy to heat in the microwave for use with warm food.
