I saw these are a restaurant supply store this afternoon.
Rapi-Kool® Original Quick Chill Freezable Containers / Cold Paddles / New Rapi-Kool® PLUS Cold Paddles / by San Jamar - Restaurant Equipment and Restaurant Supplies at Zesco Products
It's made to cool large stock pots of soup down to fridge temps for storage so bacteria doesn't colonize it while it's sitting and cooling. You fill it with water, freeze it and then just stir. Seems like you could just starsan it.
I wonder how they'd work to cool wort. If I remember right, they said they can be used once the liquid you're cooling is below 190F. Could be a great way to cool wort if you're worried about wasting water or if your tap water doesn't get cold enough. It's supposed to be able to get a big stock pot of soup down below 41F "in minutes".
I bought a new kettle that's too big to fit in my sink and I wasn't looking forward to messing with a chiller. I might pick one of these up before my next brew and see how it works.
Anyone try use of these before? And if not, anyone interested in a review if I do?
