would these help with keeping ice cream cold? Do you place them on top or side?

We line our cooler with it and add ice inside. We use it while boating in 100+° weather and it keeps our things cold all day.

They don't stack well, but I was able to pick up this: Organized Living Large Double Cabinet Shelf - NickelThe wire mini-shelf is just right for these Ice Cream Cups. Hopefully, your cabinet shelves are adjustable. If so, you can stack them three high.

I use three of them in my freezer. Heavy, but handy to lift onto the counter. They stay somewhat organized. My ice cube trays do not fit into them, so the last quarter is open. I have been using them for a long time and none have cracked. You do lose a bit of space due to the sloped sides, but worth it, I think.

Ice packs definitely help keep items cold. None are included. I use mine as an adult lunch box, holds plenty

Handle carefully and they should be fine. They crack easily when super cold so let them sit for a bit on a counter before taking the lid off.

Yes. I think they fit better on their side, two layers of two side-by-side, but you can even put them vertically and still get it zipped. I don't think you can fit the ice pack in there with four of them, but definitely with two.

It comes as pictured, no holder. I have a chest freezer and lean them up against something at about a 45 degree angle with no spillage. The caps fit very snugly and I think you could probably lay them down horizontally without any problems as long as you don't fill them completely.

I use them with frozen fruit. I keep the containers in the door sections of the freezer though. If you make more containers than the door would hold it might not be a bad idea to keep the containers in other containers until they are frozen solid because the reditainers aren't super sturdy. Hope that helps!

Yes, The lids are tight I think they should be OK to store up side down. But if you are planning on using the magnet alone with out it being screwed into something then that might not work. The magnet peels off easily of the metal part and everything falls all over the place.

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!

I would think they would freeze well. I used them fairly quickly, so I didn't have to freeze them. I will tell you they were not all intact when they arrived. It didn't matter for my purposes, but just saying.

These are awesome slippers and bigger than I thought they would be. However I'm not sure they would hold normal scoops of ice cream. They are not that wide. You could probably stack scoops vertically but they would need to be small, like a small cookie dough scoop size.

I would say yes, as you have to fill them in an upright position - I use a freezer safe cup, or the fluid will leak out around the cap, before the are frozen.

These would work, for sure. Do be careful of overfilling-- the puree or milk will expand when freezing and I almost popped a couple of covers because of that.

Some people have reported issues with the ice cream setting up properly in hot/humid climates. They seem to have agreed the way to get around this is to improvise a cover over the top with cling film as best you can to keep the cold in and hot out. Then it works no issues. Good tip to know.

I first tried laying them down, and as they froze the top popped off of a few and they leaked. I should not have tried this on the top shelf. I thought maybe they were too full, so I left a lot more space at the top. They still leaked. Now I put them in a wide plastic tumbler that fits nicely in the door of the freezer so that they are upright and that works well. That said, most of them will not leak on their sides, and once frozen you can store them in any position.

As long as you only fill them up halfway and stack them upright to store they worked fine for me. Do not microwave them to thaw or try to take the lid off while frozen unless you want a mess. They will crack if you handle them too much before thawing. For added security, I placed a rubber band around them while freezing and also in the lunch kit to ensure they didn't leak, and they never did. They worked just fine for me!
