How can one store the ice spheres, in the freezer, but outside the container?

I make them ahead of time and put them in with the rest of my ice. They store very nicely that way.

I guess you could just unmold the balls and put them in ziploc bags or wrap them in waxed paper so they dont stick together while they are still wet from unmolding. After a few hours you can probably just put them in any bin or container

What I normally do is I put them in Ziplock freezer bags. I try to keep about 12 at any one time. When I start to get low again, I make more. Another way, if you are concerned about breakage, then a Ziplock or other type of sealable containter works (like Tupperware), if you have freezer space. We don't so I resort to the bags. Once in a while, about 1 per couple dozen will break. Another thing is to boil your water before making the spheres, they come out clearer and seem to be more solid.

You pop them out of the container and place them in a freezer friendly "baggie" type bag.

I usually put ice in it. It is not insulated, so it won't keep them cold for a long time.

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

I had to find plastic buckets and round containers to make my ice. The small buckets work best but are hard to find and expensive if you buy new. I tried plastic food containers from WalMart but they cracked apart quickly. One trick is to lay a straw or small popsicle stick on the top of the water and the water freezes to a more solid clear ice. Don't ask me to explain but it works. Not for commercial use.

Yes! I store mine in a jar with a screw on lid in my pantry. DO NOT chill or freeze, please.

You don't use ice! You put the insert canister in the freezer, usually I do over a day and once frozen you put it in the maker.

The directions say not to leave liquid in the bottle for very long. I assume you mean you want to put the plastic bottle in the freezer while there is liquid in the bottle. If that is the case, then no, you would't put the bottle in the freezer.

I would suggest placing them in a tall, sturdy cup. I have also stood them up individually in between other freezer items during those times when my freezer was overstocked and I didn't have a lot of extra room for a large cup. Once they are frozen, you can lay them down or place them anywhere you like if you need to move them around.

They're spheres instead of squares, they're enclosed instead of open, they are stackable, there's only two (maybe you just don't need 6 at a time, and leaving ice in the freezer too long is a bad idea, especially uncovered). Lots of good reasons.

I don't see why not if you're using glass jars. However, if you really want to preserve the nutrition freezing is the best way.

there is a pocket in the lid that could be used for a small freezer pack.i just put mine right inside the cooler.

Hair drier or just turning off the freezer would also work well, just be careful because any plastic in the ice maker could get warped from the heat if you aren't careful.

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

I asked this question of the manufacturer myself and it stores nicely in the freezer. That's where I keep mine.

I would have no reason to put this product in the freezer - I think it's designed to be a "batter" bowl that you might use for a batter (like a yeast batter) that might be held over night to rise, or to store in the refrigerator.

Yes. It is not a holding freezer. You need to empty the basket into your ice chest when full. You can turn it off and the ice will melt into the water tank below the holding basket. Any other questions let me know. C.B.

I freeze water in a large round ice cream bucket and then run some water over it and the Ice block slips right out and plops into the critter cooler. I keep mine outside too, and refill about every 4 to 5 days. I love it.
