Constructed from BPA-free plastic with an internal cooling gel, each 18‑ounce bowl is double-walled for insulation and requires a quick freeze before use. The comfortable silicone band reduces slipping and insulates hands from cold, making the set ideal for backyard parties, outdoor gatherings, or everyday dessert service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these bowls keep ice cream cold longer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowls use a proprietary cooling gel sealed inside the double walls that stores cold when frozen and releases it slowly while you serve. Because the gel lines the interior shell, it maintains a lower bowl temperature compared with standard plastic or ceramic dishes. This slows melting so desserts stay firmer during eating and presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFreeze for about 4 hours before use to activate the gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-walled construction reduces heat transfer from warm hands or air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 oz capacity holds generous servings without overflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these bowls safe and easy to care for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Host Freeze bowls are made from BPA-free plastic for food safety and durability.
