Absolutely, I have filled mine about have way and frozen it then filled up with water, cool water for a while.

No, these containers are not for freezing. You would use the foodsaver bags for that.

Yes. It doesn't taste like fresh ice that way but, it can be done. I usually buy cheap food grade plastic bags at the grocery store and store the ice in the freezer. The plastic bags I buy are for homemade bread.

I don't know if it can be frozen. The instruction mentioned, after open the pack, add salt for continue storage purpose.

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

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

Yes! They won't fit nicely into each other like regular ice cube trays, but once frozen you can stack them.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

You could if you use the metal end on a hard surface . Make sure to place the ice in a waterproof nylon bag 3-5 min after taking them out of the freezer. Cheers!

Yes they can. The containers have 'imprints' so that they fit together whether you use the ice pack or not.

I have not tried to freeze it. Freezing water makes it expand and could crack it. Your question is a good one. It would be nice to have cold water. The mfg should know the answer.

Yes, you can. But my experience has been it's not as good UNLESS you reblend with some more ice. I add frozen veggies and frozen fruits right before I blend it so that it is icy cold, tastes better, and more filling. At room temp or even a refrigerator temp I do not find it appetizing.

I don't know for sure, I have only used ice packs. It seems too thin of a bag to use with ice cubes.

Does not hurt to use frozen ice packs. I would not use regular ice as it is not water proof. I kept the items in the trunk ofy car and it did a good job keeping things cool with ice packs.

I would say no. I use old ice cream buckets for that. I don't think they are made for the freezer.

I probably would not freeze them. They are pretty thin and don't appear to be designed for the freezer. They have a similar thickness to a wine glass at the top.

Yes you can, i do. I add water to tast almost half & half. I place it in the freezer untill cold. Personally I have had 5 machines this is the best....enjoy
