Mine arrived lst week & they are hard as a brick - exp 2016, room temp. Can it be revived through heating, or should consider them toast?

Just like coconut oil, it will be solid at normal room temperature. As it states on the package, you can add warm water to dissolve it. I just break off chunks of it and then add it to a recipe if it is being heated. Make sure to keep it refrigerated after you open the package, which makes it even harder. I agree, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't liquid as I expected it to be more like coconut water.

Yes, they are supposed to be solid at room temperature. Simply drop them the package in warm water in the sink. Or, you could cut through the plastic and drop it in a glass container and heat it that way.

The instructions on mine said place in warm water and massage the package until it becomes a thick cream. Worked for me and made delicious focaccia (bread).

You have a great product. They are hard because its just the cream without the extra junk like guar gum you get with the canned. I cut mine in half and reconstitue with boiling hot H2O. I cut it in half length wise so the calories are the same. If you look at it there is more "oil" on one end then the other. Your product is great ot go and except for the inconvienence I really like this better than the canned BPA stuff from the store.

Re-warm these by putting them in boiling water. I wrap two at a time in a wash cloth because you're not supposed to let them rest on the bottom of the pan. Make SURE that all the crystals are gone and they are back to the original liquid (cool) form. They can then be reused and work just like new. I've only re-warmed mine twice but I think these will last for years. Hope this helps.

I have had mine for a bit now too. And Haven't used them. I don't think they go bad. as long as they don't get warm your good.

You should be able to return them. First contact the maker of your dryer and ask them for assistance. Our unit is a Dry & Store. These bricks were the ones that came with the unit when it was purchased. Your unit should not be dependent on the bricks to turn your unit on. Good Luck

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

I have not tried to put them in the freezer. I am writing this to you as I sit next to the pile of used ones that need to be heated again to make them liquid, they become solid after use. That pile has been there for several weeks. Really not worth the money. I would not buy these again, they are a total pain. If after you heat them if there is even one crystal left, this can be very hard to see, they will just reheat when you take them out of the hot water and you are stuck heating them again to reset. They do not stay warm for nearly long enough to make them worth it. I would strongly urge you to skip these and go with an old fashioned water bottle. Sometimes an oldie is a goodie.

I'm assuming you had something hot inside. That is not normal. It normally means you've lost the insulating capability of the unit. I believe these are vacuum sealed. It sounds like you've lost that seal.

They are suppose to be soft ! Sounds like you got some that were old or expired !

They are supposed to be stored at cool temps & I received mine in a super hot box. Whatever live bacteria existed were destroyed without a doubt. They should ship them with cold packs. I returned them for this reason & the replacement arrived exactly the same plus was left out in the sun. Would be great if they took care of their product. I won't be ordering again.

I have only toasted them. I have never soaked them. I suppose soaking them could be good if you want them sprouted .

Well, I would try them and see. Have they been in a humid or hot place? If not probably ok. After all they are dried.

They are supposed to be teflon, which might be able to handle the heat in theory, but I don't think they can handle the heat tbh, so no.

Almost all toasters, including all the ones I have had through the years, remain very, very hot to the touch on top immediately after shut-off. This is quite normal. You need to wait ten minutes before safely touching the top.

Mine did the same thing and I am so angry. I got it as a gift two years ago and quite frankly forgot I had it until about 6 months ago while re-organizing cabinets. I thought oh cool a new gadget I forgot I had. Used it and loved it and now its dead. Way passed warranty period. No one used it but me and I never dropped it. Can't even make toast. The lights flash like they are supposed to but water stays cold and toaster never gets warm . So disappointed.

I have the exact same problem!! If I could return it I would. Not sure if I should throw it away or try cooking them twice? How long have you had yours?

Mine did the same thing and in order to get it fixed or replaced, you have to send it back to the company and be stuck without a toaster until it is fixed or replaced. You may also take it to a repair center if you have one close enough. I live in Pittsburgh area and the closest one is across the state in Philadelphia.
