How long do you need to put this in the freezer before it is ready to be used?

I'd say a minimum of 4-5 hours. But we placed ours in the freezer over night.

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

Yes, you need to let it sit for a few seconds once you take it out the freezer.

I've been using this product for months; it stays cold a long time after I use it. So if I put it right back in the freezer, it I think it only takes a couple of hours to freeze up again. Honestly though, I've never timed it because I bought 2 of them (1 to take to work). So if you put it right back when you're done, the time to refreeze is short.

remove bowl from machine, wash dry and place in freezer. leave bowl in freezer until ready to use. first time use, leave bowl in freezer at least one full day. hope this works for you.

Like anything else that is frozen, let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes or more, it will eventually thaw out and it will be easier to lift out. - J Allen

This will last a very long time....After you use it for the first time you must keep it refrigerated....I freeze mine and until I am ready to use it again

not sure of shelf life although you can freeze or refrigerate after opening

It depends on how long you keep it, but it should be fine for a few weeks at room temperature until opened. When I opened mine, I cut it into 3 parts - kept the part I'm using in the fridge and froze the other 2 parts. If your fridge is big enough, you can just keep the whole thing in it.

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.

I put it in the freezer for 20 mins. It kept it cold for 15 mins. I hope this helped.

You will need something colder than just ice. The idea is to "freeze" it. Something that cannot be achieved with just a cooler with ice. After taking it out of the freezer it will last 30~40 min.

Yes. For optimal results, the bowl needs to be placed in the freezer for a minimum of 15 hours prior to use.

I normally put the 2nd bag in the freezer. I've had some frozen for 6-12 months and it works just fine once I open it. What I have open is in an air tight jar and it keeps fine as well in the refrigerator for months.

I don't think it needs to be stored in freezer. You can store in normal freeze along side the normal stuff. I did use it that way and finished it in 2-3 months.

It starts very cold from the freezer, and at 30 minutes it is still cold. My Physical Trainer says not to keep it on any longer than that, or it could cause an ice burn to your skin. You should wait at least two hours before using it again on the same area. It is not filled with gel, but I believe water, which when frozen lasts longer, and is colder.

I stored mine in the freezer for about a week before I used it, but only because I wasn't ready to use it right away. Before that it lived on my counter for a few days, but still worked awesome. Sorry this isn't a more straight forward answer!
