How do you store these in your freezer? Do they come with a tray so they don't tip over before the liquid inside has frozen?

There is a small flat surface at the bottom of the mold to keep them upright.

They have a small flat spot on the bottom. Works fine. Never had one spill.

They are attached and lay nicely in your freezer with the hole for refilling facing up. I also bought individual ones and love these a lot more. It's easier having the four of them attached. Then you are not digging around in your freezer trying to find individual ones because they slipped in between items in your freezer.

Yes. Soak them in the sink for about 20 minutes, then freeze them. I keep mine in ziplock bags because they do leak a little as they thaw. They stay pretty cold though.

I place them in quart size freezer containers and place them in my freezer until needed

They are, but the plastic is brittle while cold, and if a container is in the freezer is dropped, it will crack. This was an issue for us while we had a side-by-side refigerator-freezer, and it would be with a top-freezer, but not that our freezer is on the bottom, I am less concerned about our supply of these containers dwindling. Now I am looking to replace the ones that have broken over the years, because these are useful containers, and how else are you going to store so many in such a small space?

I put mine in the bath tub with a few inches of water and let them soak for half an hour or so and then pop them into the freezer! It's that simple. I re-hydrate them from time to time as the part that freezes seems to get smaller over time. These things really keep things items quite cold. I put one on the bottom of my lunch bag and one on top of my food as well. I have no regrets with this purchase!!!

No, you put them in the freezer to cool them down. However, they only go down to a certain temperature, then stop getting colder regardless of how cold your freezer is. Not sure how they do that, but it works!

You do put them in the freezer. You could also freeze them in an ice cube if you wanted a small amount of dilution from purified water.

Yes, I have/ Since they are not always available, I buy enough for at last six months and freeze in package. Best for cooking after defrosting, since they soften.

Each square is filled with water(?) and when you put them in the freezer you have lots of little ice cubes which will melt, but they won't turn to liquid and spoil anything. You will just have liquid again in the little squares. If you put them in an ice chest with the lid closed, they will keep food cold for a day is my guess, but I think it would depend on how much you open the chest and how hot it is. I wouldn't expect them to stay frozen for more than a day.

Just ice from your freezer works great. Helps to have all your ingredients in the fridge so they dont melt the ice. If not thick enough add a bit more ice.

I have not used mine in the freezer since they have a tendency to crack on the bottom. Once they crack they do not work but use E6000 glue on the crack to once more seal from air getting into them.

Q: Are they freezer safe? Yes,I do use them in freezer! Must let you know they are easily cracked! BUT I handle with care and use themoften

I keep them on the small shelf in the top of my freezer folded into fourths ( the ones I've not cut, anyway). I have had no issues with sticking together. The unfold easily while frozen.

We keep ours in the frig. Don't know if we could hold them if they got "freezer cold". Pop does stay cold for the whole can with it just chilled.

They don't require freezing...they're dry. I'd be afraid of them cracking into pieces. I store the unused in a large Ziploc. They don't go bad. Place 1 flat in lukewarm water for 10-15 seconds and as you arrange your filling for rolling, it gets more and more pliable. They're quite lovely.

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

I put mine in the ice cube bin in my freezer to "frost" them so I can put cold drinks in them in the summertime.....I have never had a problem with them doing this.
