BOATING
Freezing your CHLAX: the fast way and the patient way
The fast way (8 hours): Tip your CHLAX cubes out of the bag and spread them across a tray in a single layer. Pop the tray in the freezer and leave it for a full 8 hours. Not 7 hours and 59 minutes. We’ve seen what happens then.
The patient way (up to 48 hours): Too relaxed to grab a tray? Fair enough. You can freeze the cubes straight in the bag, but they’re all huddled together in there, so a complete freeze can take up to 48 hours. Plan ahead, or plan to wait.
Either way, walk away. Resist the urge to check on them every 20 minutes. They’re not going anywhere.
When you finally crack open that freezer door, you’ll have a full load of rock-solid CHLAX cubes ready for the next trip. No mess, no melted water sloshing around the esky.
Congratulations. You’ve mastered the ancient art of freezing things.
