In spite of all of our refrigeration techniques, freezers, air conditioners and other scientific methods for rapidly cooling anything and everything, there are still times when we need real, fresh ice. Surprisingly, we use ice for numerous things. It’s always useful at parties where it seems you never have enough. Along with keeping drinks cold, it works great for keeping salads crisp and other foods fresh. With ice, your shrimp can stay fresher longer, and your vegetables will survive longer before wilting. Plus, it can serve as an excellent attention catcher if your ice delivery in Bronx NY has been carved into a beautiful statue for everyone to enjoy. Of course, you can be really creative and have the sculpting of your ice statue become part of the party.
Ice delivery in Bronx, NY comes in several types. You normally buy ice in crushed or chipped form, which is useful for the drink bar and other refreshments that keep your guests happy. For large parties with lots of food, you will also need crushed ice for the kitchen to help maintain the quality of the foods during preparation and serving. The second type of ice is the ice luge. These are generally cut to order since every customer requires different amounts and sizes depending on the party or project they have in mind. While most people consider this type of ice to be mainly useful for sculpting, block ice is also useful in food preparation. It’s an excellent selection for food storage because the ice luge tends to last longer than chipped or crushed ice, and it can still be around if you happen to need more ice chipped.
The third type of ice delivery is dry ice. This type of ice is not the same as regular ice because of it’s chemical composition. Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. It’s primary use is as a rapid chilling, long lasting cooling agent. Another useful advantage dry ice has is no liquid residue as it deteriorates. Instead of melting, the ice vaporizes. Because it sublimates at a negative one hundred and nine point three degrees Fahrenheit, dry ice requires special handling.
