Individual cans of frozen fruit and vegetable juices can be used in the same way, and they will also provide the mealtime beverage.\nTime Control: (Keeping Cold Food Cold Longer)\nUse an Ice Buckets\n* Use an insulated ice bucket for serving chilled foods. To pre-chill the bucket, fill it with ice for 15 minutes; empty out the ice and put in the chilled foods.
