I actually don't like the stone ones. They leave sediment and affects the flavor. Stainless is the way to go. And when drinking things like shrubs or kombucha or martinis or anything with vinegar, stainless steel will not react and make the metals leech into the beverage. I wish I had the ones you use

@@grayscale888 tbh i have ever tasted metal from a spoon but its notbthat often
Lol everyone cooks in metal and eat with metal spoons
Any metal (be it stainless steel, aluminium or even gold) has a much lower heat capacity than water. Which means, they will store much less energy inside compared to traditional ice made from water. Which means, these metal ice cubes should not be able to cool anything down as much and as quick as traditional ice cubes same size.
However, these metal cubes may have actual water or other fluid inside them (which is most probably the case) as they would be very heavy if if they were solid metal, as metal has approximately 8 times higher density than water.
So yeah, conclusion, the cubes are hollow inside and are mostly consisting of water (or other dense fluid) contained inside a thin layer of stainless steel.
Ergo, you think it is the metal that is cooling, but in the end, you have traditional water inside that actually cools your drink :)
That’s smart - I’ve never thought of that )
Yea the benefit is just that they don’t dilute your drinks but the heat capacity is basically the same since it’s just an ice cube with a metal container around it
@@paulstoker47 "trust me, I'm mechanical engineer"
Although heat capacity is a part of it, actually most of the cooling effect of ice comes from the phase change from solid to liquid. The amount of heat absorbed by 18 grams of ice melting is about 5x the heat absorbed as it warms from 0 to 20 Celsius
That’s pretty smart.
Basically made reusable ice cubes by just containing them.
My uncle has got some really nice marble whiskey stones and they are soo beautiful! I don't drink but i wanna get a set just to look at them 😂

Be careful. Whiskey stones are a massive scam (but look cool). It makes it a lot hard to drink the whiskey, on top of it not even cooling it very well at all. If you tip your glass even SLIGHTLY too much, you're going to break a tooth
I love how supportive we all are! Kpopholic even if you don't drink alcohol or whiskey, you clearly still like the stones and they make you happy. Go get a cool pair and throw them in cool aid for all we care, just keep swirling and enjoying life brotha

@@MichaelHarto These things will cool significantly less effectively than standard ice cubes. You're not gonna get two cold drinks out of one set of 4.

Stainless steel actually absorbs heat efficiently as well. So if you ever want to drink a hot tea or coffee but it's way too hot, just add 1 or 2 of those cubes. This can also prevent a glass cup from shattering due to heat from hot drinks. Alternative: u can also use the very small stainless steel spoons that are designed for cups, they do the same function.
Cool! Thanks💜
@@Darcyyyyyyyyyyy Hot actually, but yeah, nice!
The problem is they have a low specific heat so they won't get the beverage as cold as a water ice cube could. They transfer heat quickly but not as much total heat.
Lol that’s what cooling is anyways: absorbing the heat of the drink into the cubes

@@stephenii weak
Just so everyone knows, in terms of actually keeping your drink cold, ice cubes of any type other than water are actually worse than water. It has to do with the specific heat capacity, which is basically how much heat (or inversely, cold) a substance can hold. And water can hold much more cold than things like metal or stone can, meaning it keeps your drink colder for longer!
+ the actual melting of the ice cools the drink way better, since its an highly endothermic process
No they work just like regular ice cubes. And they don't water down your drink. Take it from someone who actually has them instead of guessing what they'd be like
They're usually full of water. It's not a new concept. When I was in the Philippines they would use popsicle shaped plastic bags filled with ice to cool tepid beer (tap). I hate ice in beer (though they even put ice in their wine).
@@varun009 But wouldn't they break/get deformed because of the water expanding after it freezes?
Water has a higher thermal coefficient. The conversion of ice to water requires a lot of energy, almost as much energy as requiring water to boil.
i like water ice in colas specifically because it waters it down a tad and makes it less acidic 😊
i usually just put milk or almond milk into ice cube trays and put them in my iced coffee, it works and i won’t have a watered down drink
but it will get milked down though
You can make rly strong coffee or my fav is chocolate. It amplifies the experience.
Or you can use frozen coffee cubes 😅
OH MY GOSH. Genius
@@jolosarmiento24I love getting milked down 😮💨
Cool video, but the nerd in me knows that due to the relatively low specific heat of most metals (when compared to water/ice) the drink won’t get cooled nearly as much as it would by regular old ice cubes. Shout out chemistry for ruining cool things!
What is the difference in the amount of heat exchanged?
@@trout3685 the specific heat of water is very high
@@trout3685 a lot moreso than the metal cubes, so it ends up absorbing more heat from the drink
dont be silly, its not a solid metal cube as most of these have water/some fluid with a higher specific heat inside to actually "store the cold", you only lose the volume occupied by the metal itself in heat storage
Never mind the thermal mass, the real cool chemistry here is knowing that melting is an endothermic process, and only the ice melts in the drink and therefore that's another hit towards ice cooling the drink more effectively.
And now imagine having a drink that's so hot that your metal cubes melt in it, thus giving you a nice and... slightly less steamy hot drink.

the ice chewing is the best part🥺
I did my 5th grade science project on which ice cubes work the longest and classic ice cubes did it best

@@idek7438 exactly....man, we work so hard, huh?
I think she meant that they forget. Actually this reminded me that I don't have ice cubes in the freezer
There’s probably a liquid within that freezes for long periods, combined with the metal retaining the temperature the cube exerts it onto whatever it touches.
Great! Have a lovely day!
does it eventually give the drink metallic taste? seems like it might
No
Idk if this will be connected but stainless steel is the material used in most spoons. Pretty sure the food we intake does not taste metallic.

@@jubbin4849bummer. I really hoped it would work just as well coz ngl I never really liked ice in my drinks. It just dilutes the drink so much and makes it so watery
Non-ice cooling cubes always looked extra fancy to me, perhaps because you have to intentionally buy them for drink making, as well as the fact that they don’t water drinks down as mentioned 😄 but am not sure if they are a “lazier” option than making ice - it seems more effort to me to wash little metal cubes and re-cool them than to just pour water into ice cube trays 🤔
Yeh, they were quite expensive but tbh.
Also, only 4 of them, what if you are making drinks for the family!
You can find 6-12 plastic ones in variety shapes at any grocery store/general for about $4 dollars. Does the same job. Not really a hassle to clean either given how small they are
@@Mr_R_Oil you buy more of them... duh?
@@kittenmimi5326 You right, lemme drop another $10 so I can make another single drink, wait, no $40, so I can have enough for the whole family. Let's just hope nobody visits, or I'm gonna have to spend another $10 per person! Or, you know, just but a cheap ice tray from anywhere and the problem is solved.
That’s actually good cause when I drink I be wanting a cold drink and the ice cubes get in the way and waters it down so damn that’s a good invention
It also won't keep drinks cold as well as regular ice. The specific heat capacity of water is really high, meaning it takes a lot more heat energy to raise its temperature than stainless steel.
true! and melting is an endothermic process that soaks up even more heat, which these metal cubes can't do
내가 말하고 싶은 것.
Usually these have water inside them
These cubes generally have a gel in them very similar to an ice pack that has a higher heat capacity than water
If these are entirely of stainless steel, you have to remember that they are almost 8 times as dense, meaning that the total heat capacity for a given volume, without accounting for phase change (as ice requires quite a lot of energy, i.e. latent heat, to turn liquid at the 0 Celsius mark), almost evens out with that of ice. It also conducts heat much faster.
So if you let an ice cube of a given volume completely melt inside your drink, that would chill your drink considerably more, but that also defeats the purpose of not diluting your drink.
Now, I'm not sure how many of them are actually a solid block of stainless steel. It seems they are usually filled with some gel that doesn't go through phase change, has a nominal specific heat still quite lower than water's and is not very dense.
Aluminum cups are really good for keeping something cold
Ah yes, a drink with a dash of danger
It's stainless, so it's fine

@@ramennoodle6695 Alright. Then 5 seconds of getting dishsoap, 5 seconds of applying dishsoap, and _then_ the 5 seconds of rinsing. And maybe 10 seconds for drying them with a towel and another 5 for storing them.
I do apologize, with the complicated steps I added, this has become a mountain of work. Better get a dishwasher or ice cube trays (that you should also probably clean a bit in between uses)
@@ellies_silly_zoo nah still real ice cubes are more practical. Idk about cleaning ice trays between uses, I only wash it whenever I clean the fridge. Besides I don't mind my beverages getting watered down, I always use the same amount as it is without ice cubes. Then drink it when everything's melted when the drink is the coldest.

any natural material don't has higher specific heat than water ,this means water (Or any phase of it)need more time to cool or more time to become hot coz it stores more heat per unit rise in temperature than any material

Eh, I'd prefer one made from mercury.
For those wondering ice is way better at cooling your drink. Because a tremendous amount of heat is required to heat water ice vs the metallic cube.
Tremendous amount of energy*, heat is a process of transferring energy ;P
If you want to flex, pure silver cubes are the best. They are the metals used for refrigeration as they are superconductors.
"Mmm I don't know what this is but it gots that metallic metally texture mmm" 🤔
“do ice cubes work?” 😭 ofc but that’s pretty cool.
No the other part is so if normal ice cubes when they melt they add water in your drink like with coffee or other so you just get a watery drink melt is they just stop i guess they don't water your drink
Nah I love the feeling of ice, it makes a drink milder than it actually is and it's amazing I love chewing on them too
Besides, after you finish your drink, you have a free snack or you can let the ice melt and get free water
I like ice betterer as I can chew it after drinking lol
The specific heat capacity of metals are ass, but the heat transfer is quick. That means it’ll cool your drink down faster, but cool it much less than regular ice cubes
It's all fun and games till the metal ice cube slips back and breaks your teeth
I thought it said "do mental ice cubes work" 😭
When in doubt, throw 'em some ice cubes
