How long put coke in freezer

I need to condense my archives, but could never figure that out in WP. How long to leave a Coke in the freezer? The fastest possible way is to grab a CO2 fire extinguisher and unload that sucker on the can. Joe says — knowing is half the battle. Category: Everyday Genius.

Previous Post. The freezing rate of coke in a plastic bottle is like a science. It depends on the sugar in the cola and the carbonation.

It can be broken down into a very scientific formula, but the most important thing that you should remember that when you are freezing carbonation items make sure you never freeze cola in a can it will explode the can out and this can cause quiet a mess.

If trying to discover the freezing rate of coke in a plastic bottle for yourself and your own freezer than proceed with caution. The contents may not be totally frozen until the bottle is shaken or even opened releasing the carbonation from the liquid. The melting temperature for coke and diet coke is at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The perfect temperature is only 4 degrees higher than the melting temperature.

To serve the perfectly chilled coke you have a variety of ways to chill it. If you need a coke chilled quickly the best way to do this is to place it in a bucket with ice water and salt. The salt makes the water colder and therefore makes the soda chill more quickly. But in most cases, the slight pressure buildup will eventually reach a breaking point and cause the top of the soda can to literally blast off.

In some circumstances, the middle of the can may be the weakest point, so this is the spot that will explode outward, sending shards of ice and aluminum everywhere. Therefore, using a freezer to cool down a can of soda is a risky venture. Note that this entire process is no longer relevant if the can of soda is already opened.

You should pay very close attention when using the freezer to deliver a quick burst of cold before drinking to avoid dropping the temperature too much. Taking the can out before this point will allow you to enjoy cooler soda without risking the explosive effect.

In this case, you should be careful when handling the can or bottle of soda as disturbing the container could cause a preemptive explosion. Instead of risking an exploding can of soda, there are better ways to show your soft drink, and much more rapidly, to boot. You could always place a can of soda in the refrigerator. The ambient cool temperature inside will slowly change the temperature of your soda, although air is a poor heat conductor and will only accomplish this process slowly.

By far, the best way to cool down your can of soda is to put it in a cooler or bath of ice water. Another interesting property of water is its heat retention. A warm can of soda placed into ice water will quickly transfer that heat into the water itself, leaving the can ice cold much more quickly than if you left the soda in your refrigerator.

All of that water can run over the surface of your can of soda, touching more of the can than air does in less time. The more surface area reached by the ice water, the faster the cooling process takes place.
