Can you fill the bucket with ice and still sit the glass on top of it to chill the liquid or is the bucket meant to be used for ice separately? I

I think it is intended to be a stand for the jug OR an ice bucket. Don't think you'd want to set the jug on ice in it, but I never tried that.

Nope I bought the steel ice tube to put inside. That keeps the drink cool at the bottom. I already had plastic ice cubes to keep the drink cold at the top and not water it down. Works very well that way.

You can sit a glass under the tap. The base is about 5 inches high but it's hollow. Essentially, the base is a galvanized steel (thin) ice bucket that's turned over and the jar sits on it. It's stable enough for careful adults but i wouldn't trust kids to pour from it.

Hi, sorry for the delay. I am not 100% sure, I have not tried it. I have only used mine during the summer to hold ice water, it stays cold for a really long time.

Sorry, I use it only to keep my chilled drinks. The insulation is quite thick, though.

I totally agree with the other answers. I have used glass mason jars and a cooler filled with hot water wrapped in a big towel and it worked but like jMack that bucket fits snug in there and I also think that is the key.

You can but its not neccesary. This coozie will keep a drink cold for a long time.

I would recommend that you get the unit really cold and the drinks really cold before you put them in. Add ice packs around the drinks. The Thermos ones work really great for this purpose.

yes it can. I do it all the time. This way your drink does not get diluted when the ice melts.

It is not designed to be used as a ice chest. It is a true freezer/refer. There is no drain hole on the unit. From my understanding compressor units should be left in the upright position so just tipping them over is not good for them.

I bought a cylindrical shape bucket, pour the water in and freeze it. Just like a size of an ice cream bucket, a little smaller.

Typically this would sit on a counter so the water is at room temperature. I suppose one could chill the unit and water bottle given a sufficiently large or dedicated refrigerator. However, it might be a tad awkward lift a full bottle and container in there due to the weight.

Yes the bucket is double walled and insulated. No moisture collects on the exterior and the ice inside the bucket survives for hours without significant melting.

its just called an Ice Bucket... You can go to the website www.cuisinart.com to order another as a backup. That is what I am about to do as well. We get so much use out of this too! I hope this helps. Have a Great Day!

I use mine to fill with ice and put canned or bottled drinks. If you do that nothing can leak into them. I don't think anyone would put liquid directly into it.

Never.... The ice bucket is the best. I've had a few over the years and this is by far a Great Product.

you would need a bucket or something underneath as it has to have a place to drain. or you would just need to keep your stopper in place and scoop out the water/ice when needed
