I am ordering this product for the first time and want to whip it. Have you found that melting and resolidifying it makes the whipped product more grainy or less desirable? What is the best way you have found to melt and screen out debris?

We just fill small jars from the big block and use that after bathing & end of work day hands, feet, elbows, knees treatments. We tried heating it up one time to see if it made any difference texture wise and found it just about the same; there's a great video of a lady saying to heat it ssslllooowwllly.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Hi Bruce My best guess is gelatin after watching several of them melt in my top loader. I have only had one (not Gain of any kind) go sorta "squirrel-ly" and not melt properly. It made a mess but after a second run (without anything else but water) run everything came off the clothing & it was just fine. I love my flings / pods, I guess because one is a load & I am not wasting extra like I was guilty of when using liquid or powder detergent. I like the flings / pods line so much, I admit there are about six bottles of liquid laundry detergent that are sitting abandoned in my laundry room because pods / flings have taken over & are now the laundry room rulers!!!!

Mine has always come as a solid cream. It could be the hot weather. Can you let it set, like someplace cool and see if it solidifies? I would also contact Reviva Labs and check with them. I don't know if the -- what sounds like melted - cream harms the Vit. K but that's one question I would ask. Sorry I can't be more help.

mines were melted as well. I just pulled a small amount off and still eat it. Some you can pull a part with no problem. I am thinking, keep in refrig during the summer time.

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.

Yea, what I do is just squeeze it out. It's messy but for the price you can't beat it. I'm not sure about the solidified. Mine is kind of thick. I don't worry about it because once I squeeze it out it all liquified and still taste good.

I bought it as part of my food storage and emergency preparedness plans. I am a Mormon so food storage is part of my life. I have only used it 7-8 times over the past couple of years, but have never noticed a metal powder coming off. That sounds like a manufacturing defect with the finish. It has worked fine every time I used it. If you plan to use it very frequently I might consider one of the electric options or at least buy the motor for this one - I did.

Lots of people complain about that, mine was not that bad comparatively. It did seem to get a little smoother with use. Mine was never jerky or sticky but it was never buttery smooth either. Definitely has a cheap feel to it. How long have you had it?

Although I was VERY careful using and cleaning it, it did not last long. I didn't even recycle it to a thrift shop. I saw it in a retail store this week.....for MUCH less than I paid for it through Amazon. It was exactly the same......not really a bargain since it would be thrown away too. I agree with Sasha: I would be interested in a QUALITY version.

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

I ddn't notice that when I ordered to be honest. I can say that I liked it and I should have ordered another month's supply. I switched to something else and hated making that choice. I plan to purchase this product again in the very near future. It may not be for everyone but I would say try it out and see for yourself. It's not bad tasting or anything like that and it only takes a few seconds to mix. Post your thoughts once you try it so I can see if you agree with me. Thanks for asking.

We are in the process of doing this now. Need new glass jar as ours broke on hot plate. Initial result was not fantastic. It's smooth but you see lines from build layers. We need to try again.

When I combine ingredients, I put it in a tight sealed jar and as it cools, I give it periodic rapid movement shakes. So, I am burning calories in the process. This is a longer process, but I don't have to worry about cleaning the blender, and still get a blended product.

This stuff is awful and explodes!! We got it of by scrubbing with a wash cloth and hot water. Good luck!!!

I was told that after you melt it down, using a double boiler method, you must let it cool in the freezer for 10 or 12 minutes. Take out and using a hand blender whip it. From what I was made to understand, it takes a little while of blending. Thinking of whipping mine.
