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 use an empty 8oz plastic parmesan jar filled with chives on the table (the holes in the lid are large) put the rest in the freezer until needed. I have done this almost a year now, works well for us.

Hi Davis ,I wouldn't , I thought about just leaving out , but changed my mind . If you room to store it for the winter , I say do it .

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.

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.

It should all snap together, they are a little tough sometimes, and the lid only fits one way.I chill mine before adding newly made ice cream.

Yes you can. Just keep it cold or refrigerated before u use it in ur play because it melts. And I recommend you use Pam baking spray on the mold to take it out easier.

I travel about 1 hour each way to the store and back. I am assuming you are wanting to transport an ice cream cake. If that is the case I would freeze 2 - 20 ounce. Soda bottles to let the cooler get cold. If the day time temperature is in the mid-80s or above I would cover the box with an old quilt or blanket for additional indulagoon. I think this foldable cooler is a fantastic product.

No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question... No, i don't believe it can. It has a tiny little freezer section in the top corner but that only freezes enough to make ice. If you were to put ice cream in either frig or freezer it might stay really cold and formed but it will become very very soft like it was slowly melting or something. but ice cream bars seem to stay frozen in the freezer part (bars like ice cream snickers or just regular candy bars,butter,ice) things of that nature.Well, i hope i was of some help to you with this reply. Feel free to ask anything else you need to know about my experince with this purchase. I'm happy to help. No, i don't think its a silly question at all... but to answer your question...

I have never thought about that! I imagine you could... you would have to let it melt somewhat first. The insert is basically an ice cream "maker". It could work that way, but definitely let it get pretty soft.

Hi, It obviously has to touch the plastic churner inside the drum to be able to keep the ice cream moving as it freezes. It never touches the inner workings, the makings go in a removeable container, when it's cycle is complete, you remove the container and take out the plastic turner, your ice cream has the consistancy of soft serve. I usually put it in a Tupperware container and freeze for later use.

Yes! I store mine in a jar with a screw on lid in my pantry. DO NOT chill or freeze, please.

I suppose it could, but I wouldn't do it. It would just make the ice cream more difficult to scoop out of the container, especially since you're not supposed to use metal utensils to scoop it out because it will damage the container.

I haven't tried it and just thought about it yesterday (made a big pot of soup). I think it would be great. They have 2 tiny holes in the top to let steam out. It's also the only container that keeps my ice cream from getting freezer burn. It's great quality as well.

You can lock the mechanism that pushes the bag forward, so it won't smash the bags with the spring. That would allow you to store the non-frozen milk. I locked it in the freezer too.

There is a small 1/3" overflow hole about two inches from the top rim of bucket. It's almost the height of the canister, so melting water will not flow into your ice cream.
