Do you shake it to make it freeze?

No. Just put it in the freezer. When its frozen then put your drink in it and squish it around.

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

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.

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

No, it does not need to be shaken. And, if you forget and shake it anyway it still works.

Yes you have to shake it. It's very light. It's not stainless steel. It's aluminum.

I don't think if it froze that would ruin it. I'm not sure what the red stuff is made of but it's not runny like a liquid. It does takes it awhile for it to adjust to a different temperature. I hope that helps you somewhat.

I don't know if it can be frozen. The instruction mentioned, after open the pack, add salt for continue storage purpose.

I usually do! Then I just wait a little bit before I stick it in the freezer.

We typically let ours freeze overnight and that works best. It does not work if it's only in the freezer for an hour or two.

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

no,you can make thick shakes but it takes a little time by adding the ice cream slowly and smaller amounts.

Just ice from your freezer works great. Helps to have all your ingredients in the fridge so they dont melt the ice. If not thick enough add a bit more ice.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

With any of the brands of authentic Yacon syrup that I have tried, I find it is necessary to shake it vigorously before every use. I also flip it upside down after every other use to keep the solids thoroughly mixed. If you don't do that from day one, what you describe happens. When that has happened to me, I put a little hot water into the bottle and shake it until it is the consistency that allows it to pour. Most brands do not say "refrigerate after opening" though I think this brand may say that. I do not refrigerate mine because it does make it much harder to shake and remove from the bottle.

In the owners manual that comes with your machine it suggest that you chill the metal cylinder, and the beverage that your going use. I've put the metal cylinder in the freezer and have not waited or very long for whatever I'm going to have to slush up.

For convenience, I actually make one or two full batches at one time and then pour into 1 quart freezer bags (make sure you seal tightly). Depending on your freezer setting and how much alcohol you use in the mix, the texture of the shaved ice generally prevents it from freezing solid. When you are ready for your margarita, scoop out the desired amount in a glass. Even if it is a bit too hard, it will thaw quickly. I also use this method as a prepare-ahead for parties. Enjoy!
