Don't let food go to waste if you're planning to eat outside.
Use an insulated cooler and fill it with ice or frozen gel packs. If you're bringing frozen food like popsicles or ice cream, they can help keep other foods at the right temperature: a chilly 40 degrees. If a food is meant to be refrigerated it should be kept cold until you're ready to serve it to keep it from spoiling in the hot summer sun.
Other foods that need to be kept cold include seafood and poultry, deli meat, many fruits and vegetables, and dairy products.A full cooler will maintain a cold temperature longer than one that's partially full. Also, avoid opening the cooler a lot so food stays colder longer. You wouldn't stand in front of the fridge with the door open all day, would ya?
