Bottle work too. Then to decrease the fizz on a can, just tap the top of the can about five or six times before opening. I just put a can in an icechest and spin it myself for about a minute.

It worked ok-- but it was more a waste of space-- works just as effectively as leaving the can in the freezer for 5 minutes, if I recall correctly. my mom got one of these around 15 years ago– I think i used it the most until it got pitched.

I heard about this device some years ago, and now I use my fingers to "tickle" a can into rolling on its long axis in a bed of ice water. I always “roll my own”.

I'm half tempted to buy one, or maybe I'll just take the cheap route and use a bucket like Alex suggests. wtm – apparently, at least according to the manufacturer, the can is spun slowly enough that it doesn’t foam or explode.

Not bad if you don't mind using 2AA batteries for every can you cool :| I am personally a fan of icewater soak to cool a can quickly. I had one of those 15 years ago.

Of course you'll have to fish it out carefully... Or you can soak it in a solution of ice water and salt, if a bucket of liquid nitrogen is not handily available!
