Can i get a shoutout I’ve been watching every one of your videos
Informative and fun! On my next ice pack I plan to try salt water. Thanks for the ratio one half cup salt with six cups of water.
thank you so much for the useful information, i’m your big fan:x
I recommend using vacuum seal bags, more durable and better seal
she should delete this youtube, i waste my alcohol-it doesn’t work, thanks for nothing
Can it be used as a substitute for hot compress? I mean, u can just boil it, but would it work?
I have jaw issues and I was told to use ice on it. I did training in an ambulance and they had instant ice packs, but those can be pricy because I might need one a few times a day. The thought of putting hard ice on my jaw makes it hurt just thinking about it….lol. I’ll give this recipe a try. Thank you!
Thank you so much. Knowing that I can make these with salt that I already have in my kitchen has been very helpful when I needed more ice packs to help with an injury..
Awesome, I wanted to make these but I wasn’t sure about the ratios. This is great, where I was doing therapy they wanted $20 for a medium pack. I bought one elsewhere for $8 and now making my own for pennies! You rock docs!��
That looks like a 2 cups measuring cup.? or you must be very dainty.
You can find food coloring in the cake mix section of your grocery store. That is what is used to add color to cake frosting. It comes in tiny little plastic squeeze bottles. And while you are there buy some frosting mix and make some cake frosting and eat it straight from the bowl! It is SO decadent! Don’t forget to add color first though!
Thank you for making this video! I had a biopsy a few days ago and the swelling is awful
You, gentlemen, are awesome! Thank you for all the helpful tips and tricks. You have made my life much less painful. Many, many thanks!
Why do they remind me of Sam and Dean from Supernatural. Lmfao. ��
Sounds like a good way to get a freezer burn. Salt ice can get way below freezing which can be dangerous for people that don’t have accurate nerve sensation. Like myself. A proper jell pack should melt and heat up before causing skin damage.
What temperature does the salt and water get as an estimate? I was wondering if this could work for like fat freezing. Hope someone can reply XD
Do it again. But I wanna see which one last the longest and is coldest
I want to eat it!!is that weird…(also great method I love it.works very well)����������
Which pack is best for knee swelling
Hot pack or cold pack??
Ok, so I actually made this recipe and the one using isopropyl alcohol. the one w/ alcohol gets much much colder almost too cold and lasts longer, but is not conforming like a gel. And will be better for sprains and so forth. while this is a gel and is nice bc it doesn’t get to cold. but unfortunately it doesn’t last for too long either. about 1/2 hr 45 min. in fact these are going to be perfect for this summer when I’m out working in my shop and I just need to cool off by putting something on my neck. They have been perfect for what I needed now for relief from a skin irritation caused by an allergic reaction. Thanks for the help.
Thank you so much for this! My daughter struggles with chronic, continual back pain and I needed a cold pack solution for her. So I made the cover from fleece (really comfy) and tripled the ingredients you used here for a 12″ x 18″ pad. I had a huge pot of goo but it worked perfectly! I ended up using an entire box of cornstarch, and although I knew to mix it with water for a slurry, it would have been better to do that a little at a time rather than dumping the whole box into a bowl and then dumping in the water. You have the same problem you get when you add cornstarch directly to your mixture making the slurry in smaller increments would have worked far better.
I also used one of those large zipper-top bags you can get at Dollar Tree. I sealed up the edges with duct tape to reinforce them and prevent leaks, and bam I have a wonderful cold pack. I couldn’t be more thankful!
p.s. I made the gel purple because it’s her favorite color
Does this work in coolers to keep your liquids cold, ie water or sodas???
i know this video is from 4 years ago, but is there any chance that you know how to make a heat pad? I’ve tried the ones where you make a fabric case and put lentils or rice in it but it’s just not the right fit for me
Thanks guys. I just stopped the arthritis pain in my hand with your cup idea and the pain was gone in less than 2 minutes. Ice is awesome!
Please shut your door or tell the ppl in the background to HUSH ��
L❤VE THE COLD PACK RECIPE!
Corn syrup probably best if it’s expired gives you something to do with expired corn syrup other than throwing it away
Good morning! Great tips guys! Whenever I use the frozen ice in a styrofoam cup, I always rub a bit of coconut oil on the area I’ll be icing, first. Then I get a plastic bag of any type (I recycle the plastic grocery bags ) and put the cup inside with the bag tight against the bare ice.
This way, it will collect the resulting melted water and will slide easily over the area your treating! If I have a microfiber cloth handy, I’ll wrap that around the cup BEFORE I put it in the bag. These absorb water REALLY well and are not too bulky.
What about just putting ice cubes in one of those bags, why don’t they mention that?
why wouldnt you mention that corn starch needs to be added to cold water……………………………… what a waste
Where the f was my brain 10 years ago when i needed this after my knee surgery? Sad part is that i knew all this components but didn’t connect them at all. And i studied this kind of stuff.��
Why i’m seeing this? I’m in latino america we’re freezing right now ;-;
Hi I m Yasmin age 48 I have lower back pain plz recommend some advice to relieve back pain
Are you using 70% rubbing alcohol? I have 91% rubbing alcohol. Do I need to change the water to alcohol ratio? Thanks!
On all of your videos, there are voices in the background that I, the viewer, can hear. Distracting….
This is the only way to make a homemade ice pack! The pack stays cold for a long time! I use mine for back pain/inflammation. The gel consistency allows for all surface areas to be touched, and provides comfort. Thanks for the recipe!
Bob’s totally cracking out on the ‘blue’ homemade ice bags lol!
I just recently had surgery on my shoulder and I made 4 ice packs with this recipe ahead of time (I multiplied the recipe by 5 and it made 4-gallon size baggie ice packs) and omg they are GREAT!!!!! I’m so glad I came across your video! Thank you so much for sharing!:) Hehe, I used purple food coloring because it’s my favorite color.
Bob and Brad, thanks men! I am about to have a TKR it is set for Nov 8 2018. So I am researching and you are helping. Guys, can you combine chemicals? Like, flood rice with water and alcohol blend? Or mix water and alcohol and salt? What do you think?
You didn’t mention “how long slush mixture will stay cold…..and how long do they normally last on storage or constant usage.
Vince!! Can you do an error tutorial on windmills? I can easily do one windmill but i can’t seem to get into a second one without my feet hitting the ground for the ilfe of me.
Urgh! Styrofoam is terrible stuff. Please don’t recommend using it in such a wasteful way. You have lots of great tips in your videos but let’s be a little kinder to the only planet we’ve got.
With the salt water solution, do you need to heat it together to get it to dissolve first, or do you just put it together cold?
Great tips! I knew about the rubbing alcohol mixture and plain rice, but being able to use salt, is AWESOME!!!
The pack has been in my freezer since my last comment and it never froze. Lol. My freezer sucks. ��
I just made this a couple of hours ago to use inside my pillow, since it’s too hot in the summer, and the heat bothers my sleep.
I just put it in the freezer, will leave overnight for the first time and see what happens, when you guys are making mix the corn startch very well in the beginning leave it unstirred for a couple minutes until it thickens and then resume stirring on a strong flame. but start with a mild flame when putting in the salt and the cornstartch.
Question: You said it stays cold for 8-12 hours. Can i put it in the Fridge and REUSE days after?
Bob is funny:D Love the Breaking Bad references haha. #blueisthegoodstuff #ricinispoison
I watched your video on sleep positions and wanted to ask your opinion on mattress types. What’s your opinion on memory foam. There’s more variety out now that have quicker response times. They feel good on hip and shoulder pressure points but are they good in the long run?
Frozen peas for me! Wonderful!!!! Water never freezes the ocean hahaha
I like this better than another video I just watched. I have jaw issues and I’m supposed to use ice on it, but the thought of using regular ice (which is hard) doesn’t sound comfortable so I’ve opted out of not icing my jaw. The recipe in this video looks so comfortable that I can’t wait to try it!
Bob & Brad,…. the 2 most famous physical therapists I know! Love your channel! ;-))
Hard corn works better than rice. Rice deteriorates into crumbles that don’t hold the heat or cold as long.
I do have a question, I have forward neck and a little bit rounded shoulders, also I have tingling in hands and pain radiation through my arm, while doing corrective exercises for my poor posture is it normal that it recreate the symtomes? Does it reduce overtime?
I just saw this video. I want to know if we keep it in the Freezer before we use this. And I have a another Question. There was a ice pack which becomes cold when we crush or shake it, I want to know if this is the same as that.? If not Do you know how to prepare it…? Please give your answer. Thanks
We usually freeze a reused water bottle full of water and put it in our bunnys’ cages for them to lay against or lick.
I’ve been wondering how to make those summer time neck coolers! I think this would do the trick nicely!
Hey I have a question! My meniscus failed I think and my knee was stuck bent, and I was in the hospital for over 7 hours, then they pulled my leg then there was a pop what does that means please help me I’m very scared to move my knee now!
Yay i thought this method was the worst because it’s the simplest XD but it’s super awesome ��
Half and half ratio does NOT freeze. Nice waste of time that was!!!
sees video
Me: or you could just put ice in a bag.
dabs then realizes that dabs aren’t a thing anymore
Option 1) 4:1water to rubbing alcohol; Option 2) 12:1water to salt (both double freezer bagged)….watch the video for the bonus info
Thank you Lisa! Landed on a single foot on my badminton match yesterday. Now my left knee hurts:( Thank you for this hack again! For how long can I use this homemade ice pack?
Per doctor’s instructions, I’ll be using ice after hand surgery. Thanks for the ideas and ratios for making ice bags at home!
Just tried this and was very happy with the results,felt wonderful on my lower back soft and relaxing experience with this recipe tried all the others and this one worked better for me.
I’ve been doing this for years, need to change the bag every few times as the plastic weakens = leakage.
Hey Bob and Brad! First off I’m a first time watcher and I love you guys. A new subscriber for sure!
Thank you so much, trying to prepare for knee replacement surgery.
Can this be put inside emptied water or Gatoraid bottles, frozen and added to coolers?
Hi guys, I have been using a variety your suggestions (exercises) and am happy to report that my shoulder is much better. There is one exercise that I really have gotten a lot out of is the one you use a band and put a small pillow under your armpit… Thank you!
i made it for my sprained ankle but i used different ingredients on march 24
This works so good��I tried it and it was so good, I appreciate it.
Made four of these with cozies before hip replacement. Bought a freezer pack that you use in your cooler for picnics at dollar store. Froze all items and then at night took towel and sandwiched freezer pack between 2 gel packs.
Used the other two gel packs on hip. When gels got warm just switched them out with the two in the towel.Gel packs lasted about 4 hours. Had ice packs all night without needing to get out of bed. Best gel packs ever.
Thank you for this great share! What’s the longest it stays cold for?
I want to make it without using fire and rubbing alcohol…… ANY IDEAS GUYS???????
this is one of the more useful videos I’ve seen in a month on this channel
Heads up! Your music is in front of your speech & is competing & winning, the filler music should be behind & lower, we should not have to strain to hear you, video 101, editing is key…Shalom!
What will adding alcohol do in combination to the corn starch?
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and tips and tricks. Anything to help the average person help themselves at home. Fantastic! Thanks!
I just made one for my daughter who is sick today at home with a fever. This ice pack is amazing! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us.
Excellent! Thank guys! Now I must look up Breaking Bad so I can learn about more great stuff to make!!
I know this is a silly question but does the corn starch degrade in any way? Turn moldy? Or something?
Thanks!i needed these to keep my lunch cool it was helpful!;)
wow..awesome tips!!! thank you for the motivational quotes in your videos..they help so much!
Is this ice pack useful for mobile
Because my mobile gets very heat up
I made it this morning and now my husband is using it on his arm. He is veeeery happy and me too! Thank you so much for sharing. God Bless you and give you health, and love forever
“This is a sock and I poured rice in it.” “Ricin?!” Haha you guys are the best. Thank you for the info.
Just want to say thank you for this ice pack recipe I had surgery on a rotator cuff December 10th that just passed and the ice packs that the hospital gave me sucks but the recipe I made four or five and we interchange those they are awesome completely awesome so again thank you you are awesome
I got excited for the gel pack but where the hell do you buy rubbing alcohol?
Too much work and labor extensive. All you need is a Baby Diaper and Zip Lock Bag…. Best of all, under 2 minutes! I have a Video in my Channel showing you how! Check it out!
You’re amazing!! Thank you so much for this, you’re a blessing to me from above ❤️
You guys treat us like 2 year olds and ramble way to much. Get to the freaking point.
I am definitely gonna try this. I’ve had a pain in my knee that’s traveling up my leg for a few week. Doctor just said apply a cold pack to it.
How many times have to use?
How to make for face my face is fat ��
I made the thermocol cup one today, but as soon as I held it ice face down, all ice came crashing down on me���� I think it needed to be freezed more? I kept for like 3 hours
I like the rice bags, because I can sleep on them and not worry about over iced/freezing skin.
How do you turn off the annoying music so you can be heard and understood better.
the second one is really worth trying. it was a really good idea…..
OK> Loved your ide. but as a man I got totally put off by your poorly maintained nails.
InnerTube is brutal..but that wasn’t quite right.
Thanks for the video! Would this formula be good to make in those wrap around the neck bandannas that are worn outside to cool you off in the summer?
If you use less dish soap, it will stay liquidy, like the corn syrup.
Awesome guys….great ideas…and love your humor and how you bounce off of each other
Love your videos!!!! Thank You!!

This would work since it would bend where my body bends and curves. I would appreciate it if the music was softer than the human’s voice, since the loudness makes it hard to hear the details without straining.
The ice cup and packs are also good for folks with chronic idiopathic urticaria (hives). During an outbreak the skin becomes hot and itchy. Icing the hives dissipates that heat and relieves the itch.
I have been using this recipe for years and can tell you that it is the BEST!
thank you so much! I’m making a couple of these to put in my daughters stroller to keep her cool while out running errands. I’m gonna make the pouch with insulation to help keep it cooler longer. plus with making my own gel, I can customize the size and shape of the pack to fit the stroller so it won’t be too bulky or bunch up!
It’s been over a month since I tried this recipe and have cycled the bag through freezing and room temperature at least ten times. The gel seems to have lost some of its viscosity although there doesn’t seem to be bacterial or mold growth.
I’ve played with the recipe and translated the volume measurements into baker’s percentage (with water as reference) and this is what I’ve come up with thus far:
water 100%
salt 15 to 20%
starch 10 to 15%
Starch at 15% makes an extremely stiff, viscous gel that’s difficult to stir when cooking (although various kinds of starches may give differing results). Increasing the salt content will proportionally lower the freezing temperature. With salt at 18% the icepack remained pliable at minus 10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) and wasn’t at all rock solid at minus 20 C (minus 4 F).
Can this be put in the microwave to use as a hot pack or it’s just good for cool pack use only? Thank you.
I had knee surgery (lateral meniscus tear and 2cm floating body) this past Friday, and have been using both the alcohol/water and salt water ice packs. They’re perfect! The only issue I have had is the weight of either of them on my knee since removing the bandages.
Did this. Got some clumps, so probably put in too much starch but now I now. Still came out pretty good.
Heat water 3 cupsbring to boil Half cup of salt -stir until it desloves3 quarters of a cup of 100% pure corn starch. Corn starch is a thickening Agent to make mixture jelly2 drops of coloring (You can skip this )
Comes to a boil as it thickens looking like blancmague/ pudding.
Let it cool…Apply into sandwich bag (double bag for safety & seal.
Can you heat these also? I’m looking to make some hot and cold packs for inside my knee brace, neo g make hot and cold discs but are so expensive, I will make a huge batch of this for my horses and cooling dog beds for the summer
I tried this yesterday not bad better than the water alcohol idea brought the swelling down since I didn’t freeze it long it didn’t last longer than about two hours I would suggest dissolving the corn starch first before adding the salt and keep the water boiling
I just finished a batch of this it looks like it will turn out better then the alcohol water mixture we’ll see
Hello! Does the amount of salt have to do with the ice pack staying cold for a longer time? Mine doesn’t seem to stay cold for more than 2 hours.
Try soaking a large microfiber towel with water, put into a large gallon plastic ziplock bag, zip it shut and lay it flat in freezer, you can even fold it if you don’t have room to lay it flat. Then you can refreeze it over and over again
Can we have specific scale.. maybe mL or L. And not just “cup”
Hi there, why is the salt optional? what is its actual role in the recipe?
I put mine in a food saver bag for more durability and easier sealing. Thank you so much for the recipe.
I wonder if you could use a vacuum sealer to pull out the air and seal it instead of using ziplocs:D
I just made it with 4 cups water.. Still has a nice consistency… just waiting for it to cool down to freeze in the bag.. Need it for my daughter who has been seeing a therapist for lower back problems… He suggested to put an ice pack twice a day in that area… THANK YOU for this idea!
Hello LesFam, Lately Gel Pillows are popping up in the Department Stores. I’ve searched, but haven’t been able to find out what the Gel is made of? Do you think that your receipt would remain stable if it wasn’t refrigerated? As far as bacteria possibly growing due to cornstarch/food stuff, I thought that I would add Colloidal Silver to the water. Colloidal Silver stops bacteria.
I made my own C.S. Generator years ago and never regretted it.
I thought that I could try to make a pillow with 20 mil vinyl. That is what the good quality waterbeds are made from. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so very much!!!!
Does anybody know if I can make it with sea salt? And if I do, how much sea salt do I need?
Very useful and easy to make. Thank you so much for sharing. Its so amazing.
Bag of peas from freezer is good too. Bang it on counter to separate lumps. But I like the two recipes and will use them.
I have a few that l made from vodka and water. Works really well.��
There is no need for waterproof PVC glue! You glue it and let it dry. Unless the glue will be exposed to water during the drying process it is unnecessary. I have eight years piping in pool pumps and I have never used waterproof PVC glue.
I wouldn’t think the PVC pipe would conduct the cold outwardly very well
Hi if you see this message I hope all of you are happy today ��
Don’t you just hate when regular ice packs make your raw produce in your cooler soggy?
Rubbing alcohol and water are flexible ice Pac. I use this one because I’m kind sorta a little bit lit clumsy.
LOL, “the blue is the good stuff” Breaking Bad was so good. Let’s Cook… love you guys. I’m gonna try this recipe.
Just when I needed this! I have to deliver some greek cheese home. Can these last for about 8 hours?

Like if you found
WARNING!! The rubbing alcohol and water ice packs get VERY cold! Always use a towel as you can give yourself frostbite from it being so cold.
Did anyone else notice that she only cleaned one burner the one she was using I love that. That is something my mom would do����
Who here watches Buzzfeed Nifty but never actually does to DIYs???
I have made these in the past. My PT told me about them. I did PT in December and my insurance paid everything. Now it’s January and I need one more round of PT. Then I’m on my own. My doctor did say before I found out about the insurance I could do my PT at home. I have everything I need here. Even a hand pedal bike and the balls I need. The only machine I used at PT was peddling with my hands. I have back problems so almost everything is sitting up, laying down or standing. I have my rubber cord for my pull exercises. I’m set up for home and will save about a thousand dollars. I priced the ice packs for the back. Not cheap at all. Glad I found these guys.
Thank you for pointing out to put Ziploc bag in a bowl.I wouldn’t have thought of that and I’m sure I would have made a big. Thank you for your video.
Perfect for cheap people like me to buy real ice packs for my lunch
Before this channel gets “popular” I was here before 40 comment,wait is this supposed to be a special moment,ah whatever
In my house anything incased in plastic and in the freezer for more than 24 hours counts as a diy ice pack
I used this video to make one 3 yrs ago. Still use and appreciate the same ice pack for my knee. Amazing. Back here watching Im ready to make some new colors and give it to family members. THANKS FOR UPLOADING THIS!
Caro syrup double bagged and frozen is an awesome cold pack too.
Thank you buzz-feed do doing all the work so I don’t have to.
I am literally going camping today and wished this video came out yesterday when I needed it.
darlin, before making a video like this, OMG do a little research Please!!!! For the price of the the dish soap and corn syrup ones I could have bought minally 2 each if not 3 of the same size. the reason your salt & water and the rubbing alcohol & water ones didn’t meet expectations were bc you didn’t use the right ratios in either case. the salt one is a 12:1 ratio (12 cups water to 1 cup salt) the alcohol ratio is 4:1 4 cups water to 1 cup alcohol ). Btw these last 2 are meant to be a pliable ice pack. the ice/alcohol keeps the water from freezing completely giving it the slushiness. however they do get colder and last longer than most helpful packs which is perfect for injuries. I personally like them for my cooler for those exact same reasons. they confirm sand are colder and last longer, I don’t like large blocks of ice, taking up room
Thank you.
I’m getting my wisdom teeth removed in 2 hours and just started panicking because I realized that I went to the store, and I forgot the ice packs ��.
how about using some cognac or any other drinking alcoholic beverage?
what’s with your facial expressions? No hate!!! love your video!
Double seal both ends of the food saver bags works too. And forever without leaks.
For coloring can you use some color kool-aide powder added? Also how about adding in some Jello?
Crest white strips……you will looove the difference on your teeth..best investment I made. Plz try
great video! keep up the good work! i know you’ll be successful.
my ice pack came out clumpy. the corn starch wouldn’t break up what did i do wrong?
No, it’s her posture. She is sitting with her face closer to the camera to the phone than her body. Some people just naturally sit in a slumped position. She is still taking time to share her time and experience with us. Which I appreciate a lot. I am a person who uses ice packs a LOT!
Something I would recommend is that you practice sitting straighter in front of the mirroepr and speaking clearer because your words are just a little a bit mumbled at times. Just watch your videos back, Sis. But all around, I would have to say, GREAT JOB!
Why do some people use alcohol instead of salt and what is the difference if any???
Some people do not even use cornstarch, what does that mean???
I believe that your getting the down thumbs due to the small space that you have and this puts you right in my face.
I actually really liked the comparisons but I had to wrestle with my hand to keep it away from clicking the exit. Very good work, but the presentation………..
