What is inside of this steam Pack, beads, clay, or gel? Can this pack also be frozen? Thank you!

The pack is filled with silica sand, but looks like clay. It is not intended to be used as a "cold pack", but can be frozen when not in use to prevent molding.

It looks like there is clay inside. I was told to initially soak the HotPac for 24 hours to fully expand. Then, when not in use, keep in air tight plastic bag. If not in use over longer interval, freeze it. Otherwise, it will dry out and lose its capacity to hold heat.

The inside material is called Bentonite. These are intended for heat use, not cold.

Yes, this set has a steam basket with it. I have found that the lids do not seal and steam excapes.

Its like a gel pack - You put it into the freezer - It will freeze down the part of your back to were it gets numb so be care full I leave it on for 1/2 hour and wow nothing like itHavent used the warm part - You just stick the same Gel pack into the microwave Iam sure it will work as well as the coldThe pack has like 4 chambers its used either for heat or cold

I'm not familiar with the gel, I've always used the crystals. Ingredients: water and natural extracts of lime, pine needles, aniseed, clove and cedarwod.

If the jelly beads are used for external things like decoration, and not for kids playing, you can try mixing the water with a spoon of rubbing alcohol. I am not completely sure but I did a quick search online and someone did a small experiment with jelly beads and different household solvents. It seems oil and rubbing alcohol are not absorbed into the beads and it doesn't seem to break down the beads either. I would just get a little jelly bead and put it in some rubbing alcohol for a couple of days and see what happens.

simple ice trays and btw it doesn't work too well either, it takes forever for anything to freeze completely..we have ice pops for the kids that I put in about a week ago and they are still not frozen.

I've only used the cold portion by freezing it ... but a previous one I owned was fantastic if heated in the microwave. I'm not sure what you're talking about in terms of 'hot water' though since these are not fillable or refillable. Once you put a hole in it the gel will fall out and the product will be useless.

The gel! It's made out of something that stays cool. There may be a more technical answer somewhere else.

I just wanted to add that I have used baby foods - all stages, mostly fruits - they freeze fine without added water. You only need to run under hot water to loosen the mold and then apply even and steady pressure as you pull it out slowly.

No water is added to these mats. They are filled with a gel that remains cool.....can also,cool more in fridge if you want.

It's a mixture of water and cleaner. The manual suggests using warm water. There's definitely no steam, though.

I sent an e-mail to Caddy Wraps with this same question and I was told you can heat the packs in hot water (and he advised to wear gloves when putting them in the face caddy because it'll be really hot). I'm going to try it (probably not *boiling* but just hot water)

I believe it to be some sort of gel, I keep mine in the freezer when not using them , so they are always ready to use . I would definately buy them again!!

I bought these tiny glitter containers from a craft store and did just as you said (freeze portions) the only thing is you must make sure no moisture gets into the tubes. I'm sure you could vacuum seal portions too.

It's a gel pack. Unfortunately, I can't help with how long the heat/cold lasts as I didn't use it after trying it twice. For me, it was uncomfortable unless you are standing all the time. I am not and sitting with this is very uncomfortable. Sorry I couldn't offer more.

Hi Eve! There wasn't a clay-like substance around my spatula when I got it, it was just packaged in bubble wrap! I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I accidentally burst mine (I got in the habit of pulling on the balloon and I ripped a small hole in it) and what spilled out wasn't quite sand. I guess it is actually micro-beads but they are exactly that - micro. SUPER tiny. I've had a few stressballs and this was by far my favorite. Right up until I broke it :)
