Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide — therefore, it is important to avoid any direct contact with the skin.
Handle the dry ice very carefully — use gloves, a cloth, etc.
To preserve refrigerated (not frozen) foods, place the dry ice at the very bottom of coolers, refrigerators, or other insulated containers.
To preserve frozen goods, set the dry ice on top of the frozen items.
When wrapped in an insulating container, small quantities of dry ice have an effective cooling time of roughly 24 hours.
This can also help to preserve refrigerated foods.
