How many cones does one ice "puck" make and can extra puck molds be ordered so there's always some ready? How many can it make in a row before it's best to let the engine rest a bit (common in small appliances).

From my experience, each puck will make about two of the provided cones depending on how much you "pack" it. I have not seen any additional molds available on Amazon, only on the Hawaiian Shaved Ice website. They are reasonably priced, but the shipping cost is about four times the cost of the extra molds, so I chose not to order them. I have never reached a point where it seemed like the machine needed a rest, but the most I've made at one time is four cones.

Depending on the recipe, you may need to do two cycles or at least a portion of the second cycle. The machine will let you know when the mixture is so frozen that the paddles will no longer move. Additionally, i always put it in containers and put it in the freezer. I have made so many different flavors of ice creams with my WHYNTER and have had no problems. i did my due diligence prior to buying it & it was ranked #1 by COOKS & CONSUMERS. Anytime i make a purchase, those are the two best sources to check.

I had 5 caps in rotation. We numbered them with a Sharpie, so we started with cap #1 and went sequentially through the caps to #5. By the time I was done with #5, #1 would be ready to go again. I would say about an hour and a half... Oh yeah, and it can't just be ice. You need dry ice and your helper needs to wear ski gloves to handle the caps. They get quite stiff and have to be very cold to work. Best wishes.

Yes, each mold makes just one ice cube (technically a sphere, even more a technically a Death Star, but I still call it an ice cube...) at a time.

I had limited luck with a puck. Ironically that is the sole reason I purchased the unit! It does give readings sometimes so I'm hoping that I can find an optimal placement to ensure accuracy.

I usually look up the part number recommended for an appliance and then look for cross reference numbers. The ice maker you've asked about fits a lot of appliances.

I've found I can make a couple of cones and then I have to clean the candy build up. I can do about 15 in an hour that way. I make the. In advance if I need very many, but def not a large production machine.

It depends on how much ice you are talking about. If you put a layer in the bottom I would say at least 6.

The ice hopper is not large. You can get two cones per ice batch. It does take regular ice cubes so you don't need to have blocks of ice available. Having an ice bucket is a good idea. The company makes larger models. The ice hopper limitation has never been a problem for us. We use it at home for the kids and their friends.

I do not know how many servings you can make with the rwo molds because mine did not come them. I just use ice cubes.

Hi, my purpose for using the puck lights is for short term use. Sporadic use may be a more correct term. I use them for spot lighting short term use. If I need more light on a food project I tap on the light. I don't leave them on longer than 5 min at a time. I turn them all on if the electricity is out, do what I need to do and shut them off. I believe they are just for short term use. I believe in the directions it says not to leave them on for more than 30 min at a time

J. Joensuu, Yes, you can use regular ice BUT and this is a big BUT remember you will be pressing down on the lid. To get the kind of shaved ice that is typical for snow cones I still think the best bet is to use the molds provided.If you are using ice cubes I would make sure that the ice cubes are all level so that the lid doesn't come down at an angle which could put stress on the blades. Also the ice will probably not be as uniform as ice created with the molds. Hope this helps! -Mark

We freeze our ice in to-go containers, like you would get soup in from Chinese takeout. Using these "blocks" makes the snow cones more like shaved ice. The only down side we have found is ice buildup behind the cutters because it is very fine and can get packed in there.

You can, but it makes 2 pints at a time. Normal ice cream recipes will make 2-3 pints.

You get 4 boxes, each containing 12 cones, for a total of 48 cones. They are really good if you haven't tried them. Besides ice cream, they also work well for those cupcake cones where you fill them with cupcake batter, bake, and frost to look like ice cream cones-- my GF kids (and their friends) love them!

IF you lost your instructions Try buying a second one and hope they came off the same production line. The 2 tricks are that you must make the plug wire wrap as close to the spark plug boot as possible as elsewhere you will pick up "ringing" and it will not read correctly; AND if you make a mistake you must shut the engine off to reset the process. :::::REMEMBER YOU MUST SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE OR START OVER:::::: Follow the instructions and start over. etc etc etc etc I find that if very careful you can set it for 4 cycle 4 cylinder easily but a mistake will put it on 2 cycle every time. Concentrate on the idea that idle for 4 cycle auto engines is that one cylinder COUNT IS 1/4 / 2 Small engines usually idle at 800 to 900 rpm. If you read close to 850 at idle you probably did not make a mistake. The instructions for the 5 that I bought are not identical to each other as they were purchased at different times for different reasons. They are so cheap you can afford to do this. I BOUGHT 2 FOR MY MINI TRUCK: one for under the hood where I can see it easily from where I need to know what I was doing with the second inside the cab also easily read. Remember that this item is picking up capacitive coupling from a source that jumps a gap of 0.030 inches at the plug which under high pressure is still high voltage. ON the distributor end of that wire the voltage is many times higher. Radio interference and interference to any sensitive electronic device is likely to occur with unshielded space exists. Tricky business if you need an electronic quiet environment.

you can make multiple batches, it makes them small, so you would get multiple batches if you made the full recipe of anything. this machine gets scorching hot, so you have to be careful with the bottom burning. if i'm honest i don't really use it because it is more of a hassle than it is fun.
