Pick 0037 · Double wall stainless chilled serving bowl
Reviewers report the bowl staying cold for over four hours, which covers most of a party. Water sealed inside the double wall is what holds the temperature, so nothing melts into the food and no puddle forms under the bowl. AddToPick rates the bowl worth buying for potlucks and cookouts. Do not fill the wall completely, because water expands as it freezes.

The bowl is a stainless serving bowl with a hollow wall. Water goes into the wall through a filling port, a plug seals it, and the whole bowl goes into the freezer. The food sits in a normal dry bowl that happens to be cold.
This is the difference from serving on ice. A plastic tub set into a bowl of ice sweats, drips and eventually sits in meltwater. Here the cold is inside the wall and the serving surface stays dry.
A funnel and a plug come in the box, so nothing else is needed to fill it.
Leave headroom. Water expands as it freezes, so filling the wall to the top puts pressure on the seal. Filling to around eighty percent is the safe practice.
The same wall takes hot water. Filling with hot water instead turns the bowl into a warmer, which is what makes it useful outside summer.
Drying is the part to plan for. Getting the water back out and drying the inside of the wall is reported as difficult, so the bowl should not be put away wet and stored sealed for long periods.

Not completely. Water expands as it freezes, and reviewers warn against filling to the top. Around eighty percent leaves headroom.
No. Getting the water out and drying the inside of the wall is reported as difficult, which is worth planning for before storing the bowl between uses.
