An odd mug and game found at a thrift store in the PNW
Okay buckle up
for anyone else like me, unrelentingly curious about what a ❄️🔥CoolCookeris and how that mug is one, I did a tiny big of digging and have now found answers.
first, the mug is not the ❄️🔥CoolCooker
currently (2023) the website listed is down, and I couldn’t find the youtube page. BUT there’s hope, the wayback machine has archives from 2015 when the website domain was live
and I have PICTURES

So this makes more sense, its a refrigerated & timed slow cooker. “A slow cooker with a built in refrigerator and a timer. Put food in the CoolCooker the night before. Set it and forget it! Dinner’s ready when you are.”
Some aditional information on the ❄️🔥CoolCooker.com homepage:
The CoolCooker refrigerates keeping the food safe, starts cooking at the ideal time the next day. A perfectly cooked dinner is ready when you want it to be. A meal can be prepared the night before, safely refrigerated in the CoolCooker and timed to complete cooking when needed.
• The CoolCooker™ meets an obvious need, no one at home to start the slow cooker • The CoolCooker™ combines a slow cooker with a miniature refrigerator and a timer • This allows food preparation ahead of time • Provides better results for many recipes
The CoolCooker™ provides a safe, fresh, home cooked meal without the need to have someone at home to start the cooking process Preparation is easily done ahead of time A fresh, home cooked meal will be ready when you arrive home Food can easily be held warm or safely refrigerated later
But the last thing that really got me was this, on the ❄️🔥CoolCooker tab of the website
What a CoolCooker is and isn’t?
It is a method for conveniently preparing food for slow cooking ahead of time
It is not a slow cooker. Because of the refrigeration step, not all slow cooker recipes may be suitable
It is a kitchen appliance and was designed in accordance with FDA standards
It is intended to ultimately produce quickly prepared meals upon arrival home.
It is not a slow cooker? excuse me? but it says it is on the front page! very confusing. I think it is a slow cooker personally. Finally, here’s a picture of the ❄️🔥CoolCookeritself, in all its glory.
Thanks for joining me on this stupid kind of shallow rabbit hole. BONUS FUN FACTS: The inventors wife has arthritis The inventor worked for nasa The ❄️🔥CoolCooker was created alongside a family friend named Mike
