jégtartó

Jégtartó is a Hungarian term that translates to "ice holder" or "ice container." It typically refers to a device or vessel designed for the storage and transport of ice, particularly in a way that minimizes melting. These containers are often insulated to maintain a low temperature and keep ice frozen for extended periods.

The design of a jégtartó can vary greatly depending on its intended use. Simple household versions might be an insulated box or bag used for picnics or transporting frozen food. More specialized jégtartó devices are used in professional settings, such as in bars and restaurants for keeping ice for drinks, or in the food industry for preserving perishable goods.

Key features of a jégtartó often include robust insulation materials like foam or vacuum panels, a tight-fitting lid to prevent air exchange, and sometimes a drain to remove meltwater. The size can range from small personal coolers to large industrial ice chests. The primary function is to create a barrier against external heat, thereby preserving the state of the ice within. In everyday language, it can simply refer to any container used to keep ice solid.
