Palworld lets you craft numerous items and equipment for your base, ranging from deadly traps to functional yet quirky items like the Medieval Medicine Table. However, some are more common in a homestead, such as Palworld's Cooler Box. Not to be confused with the Chiller, the Cooler Box is like having a mini-fridge for your base. However, once you get a Cooler Box in Palworld, its simplicity might leave you head-scratching, wondering what it's for.

What Is the Cooler Box for in Palworld and How to Use It?

In Palworld, the Cooler Box is essentially a different type of storage box just for food. You guessed it - a Cooler Box stores food like a regular Ice Box. It stores up to 10 food items and keeps them fresh, from berries to bread, whether cooked or raw. Either way, you may notice the timer next to each food item extends when placed in the Cooler Box, meaning you and your Pals can reap the benefits of a good snack for longer and before they go bad.

However, if you are eager to know how to feed pals in Palworld, make sure you don't put food in the Cooler Box hoping they'll get it, as Pals only get food themselves from Fruit Basket.

How to Use the Cooler Box in Palworld

To use the Cooler Box, you need one of Palworld's cooling pals. Pick up a pal with the cooling skill, such as Pengullet, and throw it towards the Box to assign it to cool. Your pal then uses its frosty powers to chill it, extending the life span of any food you have stored inside. You can also put a security lock on your Cooler Box if you're worried about anyone stealing your nicely chilled treats.

However, it's essential to keep a pal assigned to the Cooler Box to maintain its chilly effects, something that's often easier said than done with misbehaving or distracted pals.
