The truth is, in your own home your fridge is almost never empty.  So the cold things already in there help moderate, or cool down, the warmer things you add to it.  But in a rental, the refrigerator starts empty.  Or in our case, both fridges start empty.  When they are loaded with room temperature drinks and other groceries, it will take HOURS to cool down to the desired temperature.  But with a little planning and understanding of thermodynamics, you can get your food and drinks colder, faster!  And avoid spoiling the milk!

First, consider that warm drinks or any liquid will take more than 12 hours to reach the set temperature (usually 35 degrees or cooler) of the fridge.  And the more the quantity and tightly packed the liquids, the longer it will take.  The laws of thermodynamics mean that the warm beer you just added to the refrigerator will cause the air temperature to rise as it makes the beer temperature to fall.  The fridge will keep adding cool air, but as they keep working on each other, it is a slow process.  Add the fact that your teen keeps checking and staring into the fridge and adding MORE warm air to the mix, it will take that much longer!

Ever wonder how long you'll have to wait to before your warm beer will be cold and frosty in the fridge or freezer? We performed the test so you don't have to waste precious time waiting for your drink to chill.

Answered: How Long It Takes to Cool a Beer in the Refrigerator and Freezer

So how can you help along the cooling process at work in the second law?  Add colder things to the fridge!  Buy your beer already cold.  Or put the cans in a cooler first with ice and add them after they cool down.  

If you brought a cooler with ice packs, don't put them in the freezer yet.  If they are still cold, add them to the fridge too!  Another idea is to put a bowl of ice in the fridge too!  It is adding coolness as it melts, making the second law work for you, not against you.  

If you don't mind waiting, you can separate your items.  Put the perishables, like milk and meats, in the kitchen refrigerator and the drinks for tomorrow in the garage fridge.  Then tell your crew to stop checking on them!  Patience!  

Here are some cool hacks for chilling your drinks!  But keep in mind, anything that explodes in the freezer, you will need to clean up.  And that might require thawing it first!  So don't forget you put it in there!

With Memorial Day on the horizon, you may have plans to dust off the cooler and pick up a few bags of ice. There are cookouts and pool parties and beach days to be had - all of which require icy-cold drinks.

How To Chill Drinks Fast (&amp; Keep Them Cold) This Weekend

If you want to be sure the fridge really is cooling, try checking the freezer!  They use the same cooling system.  If you put some ice in the freezer, it should stay frozen.  If it melts AFTER you put it in the freezer, give us a call!  We may have a problem!

Why Isn't My Beer Cold Yet?!

Many guests text or call a few hours after arriving at Tiki House with the same comment or complaint.  "The refrigerator isn't working!"  In all the years we have rented, this has always been a false alarm!  We have 2 refrigerators for guest to use, which is really great, but this means we sometimes get the complaint that BOTH fridges are not working!

Tiki House is more than a vacation rental. It is our vacation home!  We purchased the home in 2015 because it is located in a quiet residential area right on the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. This beautiful area is full of beautiful homes, quiet beaches with the Emerald Coast's signature white sand. It is still close enough to walk, ride a bike on the trails, or take the free trolley during the summer to restaurants, bars, and shops. Or you could head east to the visit some of the most beautiful and preserved beaches that are part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. But we chose Tiki House specifically for its charm, character and amenities.  It has the largest private pool on the beach (according to our pool pro) and the perfect views from its many decks.  We want to make a stay at Tiki House as wonderful and memorable an experience for you as it is for us. Dedicated to making Tiki House THE vacation home of your dreams. We love Tiki House and know you will too!
