Can I store ice cream in the frezer without harming the ceramic coting?

The word is coating, not coting. I have never tried this but I suppose you could. If you are afraid something might happen to it just take it out of the freezer and temper it in two stages:1. transfer it to your fridge first2. leave it there for 1 half hour to one hour, preferably the latter.3. remove from fridge and let it reach room temperature before using in stove or oven.Regards,Rufus Velvet

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

I recommend you put the gasket on to the container prior to freezing. I found it can be hard to work with the frozen canister, but when it is room-temperature it is not an issue.

I don't add my mix-ins till its done. Because I don't want to damage the Patel or motor. Makes very good ice cream.

A freezer environment wouldn't hurt the cotton fabric but there is no protection for your food in a open mesh bag. Food should be wrapped securely in foil or plastic. The answer is "No'.

Answer: YES. From the package instructions: "Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze, or serve straight from the Canister. Lid and Lid Cap are included for the option of storing the Canister in the freezer."

I believe all covers will have some condensation. Would suggest to place the food on a plate.

My lid has sunken and takes the frosting off. Unless it can be stored flat, without anything on top, this will happen.

You can, but I would seal what's inside in a zip lock freezer bag. Make sure the box is upright otherwise it would collapse under pressure. I wouldn't burry it to deep.

When storing ice cream in your home freezer, it will not have the consistency of store bought ice cream, which has stabilizers and additives to keep it creamy and scoopable. Depending on the recipe you use, and the temp at which your freezer is set, you may in fact wind up with a brick that needs to be thawed a bit before scooping. You can soften your final ice cream product by understanding a little about the science of ice cream, and what lowers the freezing point of your ice cream so that it is firm, yet scoopable. Basically, sugar or alcohol can be used to lower the freezing point, because it binds with water in the mix and prevents it from turning into ice, and prevent a brick from forming in your freezer. You may need to adjust your additives, like sugar and corn starch to determine what works best. I personally make more gelato that ice cream (less fat, less air and therefore denser and more intense flavors), using a custard base (which is one that uses eggs). I also use about 2.5 tbs of a flavorless alcohol (like vodka) to 1 quart of gelato (or ice cream) and I get a wonderfully creamy product, easily scooped from the freezer.

I would think you could...but I would pack the in an upright position, but that is is me and I might consider dry ice, I believe it is colder. It would also depend on the temp outside and will you be able to put them in a freeze when you arrive, before serving them.

Yes, but you may find it difficult to get the hard ice cream out of the bucket. If transfer to something else first, a bowl maybe, to firm up.

Likely possible, but not suggested. Ice cream, made well, is full of fat. Fat takes on the flavors of what surrounds it, making ice cream particularly susceptible to tasting "like the freezer". A covered plastic (or Pyrex) container is a better choice for firming up your ice creams. The advertized Tovolo tub is amazing! I promise I'm not making any money (or anything else) for saying so. It is insulated, so the ice cream doesn't get overly hard. The lid is secure, but I haven't broken nails trying to pry it open. The slim design is perfect both for scooping, and saving space in my freezer. Likely possible, but not suggested. Ice cream, made well, is full of fat.

Thay would be problematic. Just put the whole thing in freezer. Freeze the top separately and when the frozen dessert is done, put in immediately cover and freeze.

Sorry, I really don't know. I'd suggest that you contact the manufacturer. Beyond that, I don't think that would be a great environment, unless you put items in bags without air into the boxes. Otherwise, you risk freezer burn. I have had Food Savers for years, and love them. Vacuum seal stuff in bags, THEN put them in the shoe boxes - provided that the plastic boxes don't become brittle in the freezer. Hope this helps.

Since we have hurricanes down here in Houston and often lose power with them, I keep an ice 'chest', like a medium size Igloo, in my closest so it stays clean and ready for ice and food should I need it. When I receive my order of ice cream cones, I put them in the ice chest that is just sitting there empty most of the time. I close it up and they stay nice and fresh. I only take out one box at a time and I am always sure to close the open package well.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

yes. that is actually all we have used it for, homemade ice cream. it is a wonderful little storage unit. I have purchased several more for Christmas gifts this year.
