Does this bowl have to be put in the freezer to chill it prior to use?

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

I bought two bowls for that same reason. After ice cream in gone, wash bowl and stick it back in freezer for over night. You can use bowl many times over

I leave it in the freezer indefinitely so I will have it ready for whenever a craving strikes. I do not leave the ice cream in the bowl though--that I take out right away and put it in another container.

No, it does not need to be refrigerated after opening. Unless you prefer to take it cold. It's up to you!

No, it doesn't need to be refrigerated. However, I did put it on the top of the crate when my dog wasn't laying on it so air could circulate around it. I really don't know if it made a difference but it was always cool.

No you need no salt or bagged ice. But you have to keep the bowl to the icecream maker in the freezer over night before you add your ingredents to it for freezing.

No, I don't think so. It does not require refrigeration. Mine sits out on my counter.

I'm guessing no, because I was told not to refrigerate it. Sounds like room temperature is the best.

It has not been frozen when I buy it through amazon, but I do stick it in the freezer right away to help with freshness... otherwise it has a tendency to go stale pretty prematurely.

No. I spoke with a company rep and she said it's "freeze-dried" which is the reason no refrigeration required. Her explanation was that by being freeze-dried, it gets into the stomach/intestines. I don't think it should ever be refrigerated as the humidity of the fridge might screw up the freeze-drying?

I never used it cold, but from what I remember you just need to put it in the fridge or freezer when it's in a liquid state.

Yes, that would definately work.You should always leave your bowl int eh freezer for 24 hours and your ice cream mix in the fridge overnight or so. This will make everything coldest.Ice cream makers are there to aerate and create a dessert with tiny ice crystals rather than a granita or popsicles. The firming needs to be done after the freezing process. This is true of all ice cream makers - It should be about the consistency of soft serve when you put it in the freezer.

You absolutely CAN freeze food in these bowls! i bring the contents to room temperature first, then place plastic wrap down on the surface of the food to keep out air. the next day, the frozen dish slides out of the silicone bowl easily, if you just hold it in your warm hands for a few moments.

I honestly don't know. Since they can not go in a microwave (or oven) I would be afraid to put in the freezer due to extreme cold. I would be afraid they could crack. I love my bowls so much, that even though they say they can go in the dishwasher, I choose to wash by hand.

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.
