can you use dry ice to freeze it?

You could probably use dry ice to freeze it but I would keep a barrier like a towel between the dry ice and the plastic. Dry ice has a surface temp of minus 109 fare height, it might cause the container to become brittle. If you have dry ice you might forgo the blue ice.

It takes a couple of hours to freeze, but if you out the dry ice into a cooler with this it probably would. The real question is why not use the dry ice?

Yes you can, but I would add some ice cubs to it if the item is room temperature or water if the items are chilled. You get a quicker result if you quarter a big fruit or vegetable.

You will need something colder than just ice. The idea is to "freeze" it. Something that cannot be achieved with just a cooler with ice. After taking it out of the freezer it will last 30~40 min.

I will agree with that no. If you add ice, you will not have room for anything else. You might try a small bit of dry ice. But that is a little overdoing it. To keep things really cold with dry ice try a cardboard box.

yes. If you hear swishing around in there, it's not cold enough. Leave it in the freezer for at least 24 hrs. It takes a while.

If you mean putting it in the freezer to do a frosted mug, yes. It can do that easily and I've done it dozens of times since I've owned mine. You definitely do NOT want to try to freeze any liquid while its in the mug.

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

You could if you use the metal end on a hard surface . Make sure to place the ice in a waterproof nylon bag 3-5 min after taking them out of the freezer. Cheers!

No, you have 2 plastic containers to freeze water in. These are used to make the shaved ice. After you use them you fill them back up with water and refeeze to use again.

Yes, that would be very possible. You fill the clear hard plastic side with water to the fill line, then simply put on the gray rubbery top and stick in the freezer. I think you could put anything in it but it would be size restricted, of course.

Absolutely you can. And like Calvin said, the less ice cream you make the faster it freezes. I have had mine for over a year now and it continues to work flawlessly. Excellent product.

Yes, you can. But my experience has been it's not as good UNLESS you reblend with some more ice. I add frozen veggies and frozen fruits right before I blend it so that it is icy cold, tastes better, and more filling. At room temp or even a refrigerator temp I do not find it appetizing.

You should not put dry ice direct into the cooler. OK to put it in any type of plastic bag before putting it in the cooler. Cheap grocery bag will do. C2CSAFETY stock and ship these same day. We will quote best price. Thanks

No. You can use regular ice cubes, or freeze ice in the supplied plastic containers. You put the ice in the machine and press down on the top, and shaved ice comes out the bottom into a bowl or the supplied paper cones.

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.

I'm not positive but I don't think it's dry ice. The contents of the sheet is a gel like material that gets frozen in the little squares after they get soaked in a pan of water & u crush them to activate it. You can cut the sheet (it's not a bag) to customize it for what you need it for. I'm not sure about using what's in the squares to use without the protective sheet around it. I think keeping the squares in tact serve a purpose for its most effective use as well as keeping whatever chemical reaction it is that causes the squares to activate safe for use.

I wouldn't recommend it. The coating seems more like a polyurethane glaze and, unless it was submerged in the stuff, I doubt that the metal is impervious to the cold and moisture in a freezer. I would recommend something made of rubber, coated with an epoxy substance or a freezer-suitable plastic for such use.
