  Stainless steel cubes are pointless. Their thermal mass is so low that you'll need the entire tray just to have the same cooling effect as you'd get from the phase change from a single icecube.

  Edit: Actually after reading the description, it actually implies that they cool more than ice which is simply not true, so I'll down vote on that obvious misguidance.

  "BETTER THAN ICE AND SOAPSTONE: Whisky Ice Cubes are made of stainless steel and filled with a non-toxic cooling to maintain the perfect serving temperature of your drink longer and more stable than ice or soapstone."

    You're over-thinking it mate! It didn't say it will cool your drink better than the ice, it just said "more stable" cooling than the ice. In any case, the biggest advantage to use these stainless steel ice cubes is the convenience and to have your drink not diluted.

      But I usually keep adding more whiskey to reduce dilution factor, to the point I can't wake up for work the next day. I don't recommend this at all.

        Yes we got it. Don't drink and post.

        I'm a bit concerned that they will not say what chemical is inside the stainless steel.
        You'd want something with a very high latent heat of fusion, and a melting point around the temp you want for your drinks.

        What chemical could possibly fit that criteria? DHMO would work, except it has resulted in thousands of deaths.

    filled with a non-toxic cooling

    Did you miss this part? The filler could solidify when cooled and phase change when heated.

      RubenM on 26/02/2019 - 17:12

      Yes.
      However, it's still going to be much worse than ice.
      Due to the large phase change expansion during freezing (no idea what the technical term for this is), I don't think it's water. Or if it is, then a fair bit would have to be an air gap that's compressed during the freezing process. That would limit the thermal capacity of the cubes.
      Alternatively, if it's not water, then it's thermal capacity will also be less, as (from memory) water has the highest thermal capacity asside from liquid hydrogen or helium per unit of mass.

        I mean there's three factors at play for the coolant: the latent heat of fusion (the predominant source of cooling), heat capacity, and the effective heat transfer coefficient between the drink and the coolant. The first two tell us how much energy can be absorbed while the last one affects the rate of energy transfer.

        I believe a water-based gel is used inside of the cubes.

        Water is of course almost always going to win at the first two categories but is going to melt and dilute your drink. Obviously encapsulating it solves this problem but of course you have the issue of air gaps. I admit I am unsure how much water-based gels expand when they are cooled. I am sure they expand but I couldn't say if they expand more or less (probably less). However a water based gel is still going to have a similar (but worse) heat capacity and latent heat of fusion to water.

        To get the "stability" the ad promises we need something with a lower heat transfer coefficient than ice cubes in a drink, so any changes in temperature occur slowly. At least two factors affect this: the viscosity of the coolant and the layers between the coolant and the drink. Since a water based gel has a higher viscosity than water, it'll have a lower convection coefficient. Having an extra layer between the coolant and the drink, even if it is stainless steel, lowers the effective heat transfer coefficient as well (probably marginally). Together these result in slower energy transfer.

        The description does say "BETTER THAN ICE OR SOAPSTONE", which sounds untrue at a glance, but the definition of "better" here is initially unclear. It expands on this by only saying that it provides more stable cooling than ice. So, yes, ice can absorb more energy than these cubes per volume but these cubes will likely offer more stable cooling and will not dilute the drink, while offering a respectable (but worse) amount of energy absorption.

          @mackdiddy: Even if "better" is debatable, this part simply isn't true: "maintain the perfect serving temperature of your drink longer and more stable than ice or soapstone."

          • 

            mackdiddy on 26/02/2019 - 19:21

            @RubenM: If these cubes absorb slightly less energy than ice cubes per volume but take longer to do it, the drink should stay in the acceptable temperature range for longer as long as that energy deficit isn't too large, no? As long as that deficit isn't too large and heat gain from the air isn't too high during cooling, both the cubes and ice should cool the drink to roughly the same temperature before the gel and ice melt, but the gel will take longer, assuming equal surface area between ice cube and gel cube.

            As the drink heats up after this due to air temperature, the rate the drink heats up for gel vs ice depends on the air-drink temperature differential and the amount of water added to the drink by the ice, but it is possible that the drink with gel heats at roughly the same rate as the iced drink.

            Thus, as its cooling time was longer and its heating time roughly the same if not irrelevant (as drink may be finished), depending on one's definition of optimal drinking temperature, it is possible a drink with these cubes will stay under this temperature for longer.
