If the "big dipper" is meant to hold yogurt or other refrigerated semi-liquids, how does it stay cold if it does not fit in the main compartment?

It is a flexible system. The big dipper DOES sit in the lunch box, in its largest compartment. Alternatively, you can use that compartment and put the big dipper outside the pack. If I am packing yogurt, I put the granola in the small dipper, the yogurt in the big dipper, fit both inside the box and then add other snacks, nuts, or fruit in the remaining compartments.

It totally works for that as well! I put sandwiches, rice, yogurt and it seals the food in its compartment. There is no leaking whatsoever. However, I only put food in that doesn't need warming or heating up as I prep lunches the night before and put in fridge.

The solid blue item holding the two vials in the photo must be put in the freezer for several hours. After that time, the frozen holder and the vials are put in the insulated nylon bag shown. It keeps it cool for many hours of use.

Yes...I wish I would've known about these when my kids were still using bottles!! It is about 8.5" tall on the inside....keeps foods cold for a long time!

When I use it it really keeps stuff cold. It's keeps things incredibly cold. I love it for the purpose of keeping the bottles safe for my child to eat. Think if you got a bottle sleeve and made the bottle extra warm it should stay nice and warn in the sleeve. If you want to keep it warm you might want to look into a thermos. Best of luck.

I found a solution for this. I don't have this particular cooler (Yet!) but I have others. When I want to use a bottle or similar, smaller container, I first wrap the lower half of the bottle (or desired beverage container) with 1 or 2 wet paper towels (or just one folded in half, depending on your container). This makes it thick enough to stay snug in the cooler. It also keeps the beverage just as cold as if you used a can. I primarily do this with "The Fridge Freezable Cooler" drink holders. It works AMAZINGLY well!!! Actually freezes the paper towels! Hope this helps!!

I put mine - bag clipped with clothespin - into a gallon ziplock and into the freezer (thinking that will keep it fresher). I would think it would easily fit in a quart-size glass jar - actually even smaller. I'd make sure it was an air tight jar.

The refrigeration unit gets very cold. I usually empty the canister when the ice cream just collects on the dasher because it is so stiff. I'm going to guess that is as cold as it is going to get because the ice cream is not contacting the outer canister. As an example, I made some salted caramel which I then placed in a deep freezer at -11 F. It never did get solid because I added too much salt which was not the freezer's fault. Sincerely, JAH

My question is: do you just get the commercial yogurt and let it sit on the counter for a day? I guess as long as it is sealed other stuff can't get in there to ferment as well. I'd appreciate hearing if you have tried this.

Roger, There are 2 interior compartments. The main freezer compartment is 10 3/8 inches wide x 12 1/4 inches. The depth is 12 1/2 inches. The spill-over "keep cool" compartment is 5 1/4 inches wide X 12 1/4 inches. Depth is 5 inches. Hope that helps. Jake H.

Not entirely sure but I keep my soda, tea, and waters in there and they're always cold. No complaints with this fridge, great for the price! Hope that helps

I do not have the Stay Fit one but I LOVE this one. I love it because the whole thing freezes and you can just drop in a standard yogurt container instead of scooping it in!

It's probably too warm for a drink if you want the drink to stay cold. You could set it there for a minute, but not a place to leave it.

there is a pocket in the lid that could be used for a small freezer pack.i just put mine right inside the cooler.

Mine gets cold enough to keep frozen foods that are put into it frozen for a few days. Living off grid, I got tired of throwing things out from using a cooler with ice. The porta gaz works very well and I haven't had to throw anything out. It was recently attacked by a 500 pound bear too! Thrown on the ground. Still works like gem. Would recommend it.

The small container has the gel in the lid. The large container has the jel in the bottom container not the lid. I expected it to be in both sections of the container. However, I use the large one for yogurt and it keeps cold all day in that container. I hope this helps.

The top has a rubber seal and should work to keep in liquids if put in properly. The bottom seals tightly and should hold more thick soups but I wouldn't try swinging it around or anything
