Handling of Dry
Ice
- DO NOT handle with bare hands; it can cause severe
burns. Use tongs, cloth gloves, a cloth napkin or other
separator to prevent direct skin contact.
- DO NOT taste or put dry ice in mouth.
- DO NOT place in tightly stoppered or sealed
container.
- DO NOT inhale. Provide adequate ventilation; heavy
carbon dioxide vapor released may cause suffocation.
- DO NOT leave dry ice on a tiled countertop. The
extreme cold could damage the tile. A wooden bread board
is ideal for dry ice.
Storage of Dry
Ice
- Dry ice should be wrapped first in a poly bag and
then in newspaper or a towel.
- For longer storage, place wrapped dry ice in a
styrofoam or other picnic cooler.
Disposal of Dry
Ice
- Unwrap and leave at room temperature in a well
ventilated area. It will sublimate from a solid state to
a gas.
- DO NOT leave dry ice unattended around children.
Use Dry Ice In Coolers
(camping, hunting
& fishing)
- Place the dry ice in the bottom of your cooler, cover
it completely with ice cubes. Then pack your cooler as
normal with food and beverage items. The cooler will keep
items cold for 3-4 days.
Punch Bowl
Fun
- Dry ice used in punch or liquids will add carbonation
and cool the mixture without the dilution qualities
associated with regular ice. To avoid breakage of glass
punch bowls from the extreme cold, use small pieces of
dry ice sparingly. Do not overload the container and do
not ingest dry ice.
Create Fun Fog With
Dry Ice
- Fog effects are created using heated water which is
kept warm either by an electric skillet or hot plate, or
by replenishing water as the mixture is cooled by the dry
ice.
- Use half dollar size pieces sparingly. Do not
overload.
Carbonated Beverage
Recipe
- To make 1 gallon, mix:
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 gallon of water
- 1 oz. Schilling Flavor Extract
- Then add 1-2 pounds of dry ice. Be sure all dry ice
has vaporized before consuming.
