San Jamar Rapi-Kool Food Cooling Paddle Set, 64 oz (Pack of 2) — Fast internal cooling, non-diluting

The San Jamar Rapi-Kool 64 oz Food Cooling Paddle (set of 2) is a reusable, polycarbonate ice wand engineered to speed internal cooling of hot liquids like soups and sauces for professional kitchens.

Designed to cut cooling time and simplify hot-to-cold transitions, the Rapi-Kool paddle pulls heat out from the center of pots and containers using internal cooling fins and a precision Fill-Rite fill system. Each paddle freezes solid, locks with a threaded cap and gasket, and is built to withstand frequent handling and wash cycles common in restaurants, catering operations, and institutional kitchens. The pair-of-two pack provides workflow redundancy so staff can rotate paddles between use and freezing without downtime.

How does the Rapi-Kool paddle cool food faster than stirring or ice baths?

The paddle cools from the inside outward: frozen fins increase contact surface area within the liquid, extracting heat more efficiently than surface cooling alone. This method preserves texture and reduces dilution risk compared with adding ice directly to product.

• Internal cooling fins increase surface area for faster heat transfer.
• Frozen paddle targets center heat, speeding uniform temperature drop.
• Non-diluting method keeps sauces and soups consistent in flavor and viscosity.

What features help the paddle perform reliably in busy kitchens?

Built from durable polycarbonate with a smooth, non-porous surface, the paddle stands up to frequent use and sanitizing. A threaded cap with a gasket prevents leaks, and the Fill-Rite design prevents overfill, ensuring predictable freeze cycles and consistent cooling capacity.

• Polycarbonate construction resists cracking, staining, and warping.
• Threaded cap and gasket maintain a liquid-tight seal during freezing and use.
• Fill-Rite indicator prevents overfilling for repeatable performance.

How do you handle, clean, and store the Rapi-Kool paddles?

Ergonomic handle placement keeps hands away from hot liquids and offers comfortable leverage for stirring and moving the paddle. The smooth exterior limits food adherence so rinsing and standard dishwashing are quick; when not in use, store paddles in a freezer upright or flat to keep them ready for the next shift.

• Ergonomic handle reduces contact with heated zones and improves maneuverability.
• Non-porous surface washes easily in warewashers or with sanitizer solutions.
• Store frozen between uses for uninterrupted kitchen workflow; pair set allows rotation.

Can the paddle be used with all hot liquids and pans?

The Rapi-Kool paddle is suitable for soups, sauces, gravies, and similar hot liquids; its slim profile fits into most stockpots and containers. Avoid prolonged contact against very sharp edges or open flames; follow your kitchen’s sanitization guidelines for materials that contact food.

• Works well in stockpots, hotel pans, and large mixing bowls.
• Not intended for direct flame exposure or contact with sharp utensils.
• Complies with common commercial kitchen handling and cleaning practices.

Who is this for: The San Jamar Rapi-Kool 64 oz Food Cooling Paddle (set of 2) is aimed at chefs, line cooks, caterers, and institutional foodservice managers who need a reliable, non-diluting method to bring hot liquids down to safe storage temperatures faster. It benefits busy kitchens that require durable, repeatable tools to maintain throughput, preserve food quality, and simplify cleanup between batches.
