| I would like to bring a 6 pack of chicken thighs from Costco to our weekend trip. The chicken is frozen solid, and it would spend 3 hours in a cooler. Is that safe? Thanks! |

| Yes, it will be fine. |

| Of course! I assume you are putting ice in the cooler as well? |

| We do a 10hr trip every year with a full cooler. We get a 3lb block of dry ice for the cooler and things are frozen solid at the end of the trip. |

| Yes. It won't defrost in the time -- and even if it did, it would stay plenty cold. |

| If you are planning to eat them that night then this is perfect. Put them in the cooler with a few blue ice packs and go, they will thaw in time for dinner. |
