I'm having a crab boil for my mothers birthday and need about 30lbs. problem is I do not have a freezer big enough to freeze - how long will they stay

It might for a day or two. It comes in dry ice, so it may last that long. I dont know because we used dry ice to make fog.

I wouldn't buy. The pieces were small broken and poorly packaged. I ended going to my local place, much better

Put it in a plastic bag and stick in the freezer. Overnight would be best so it stays cold, but if you need it in a hurry try it in the freezer for an hour or so.

Never tried freezer but blend with about a cup of ice is really good, as it is a can I bet they would explode but that is just a guess.

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.

Airen, you have to take them out of the freezer for a few minutes before you plan to eat them. We put ours in a cup of warm water for about 5-10 minutes. It will then be melted just enough to slip it out of the casing.

I have no idea, but I would hesitate to use them in the freezer. OTOH, if you tried it with a small amount, as someone else said, all you'd have to do is wash your slow cooker.

I think you can freeze it, how long it will last has a lot to do with how you wrap. Not more than 6 months if you care about freezer burn. I have never frozen, just wrap and put back in the fridge.

Everything can be stored in most standard-sized freezers. Since each item is individually packaged, you can sort it into the different shelves and compartments of your freezer.We do recommend that you clear out your freezer as much as you can in preparation for the food. This is a great time to get rid of foods that are not on the program. If you can't fit all the food in your freezer, you can store up to 14 days of the breakfast and/or meat items in your refrigerator. Just be sure to keep your vegetables in the freezer so that they do not become soggy.

Each square is filled with water(?) and when you put them in the freezer you have lots of little ice cubes which will melt, but they won't turn to liquid and spoil anything. You will just have liquid again in the little squares. If you put them in an ice chest with the lid closed, they will keep food cold for a day is my guess, but I think it would depend on how much you open the chest and how hot it is. I wouldn't expect them to stay frozen for more than a day.

You have to boil it to the point that you know everysingle little cristal on the pad is completely melted. Don't just give it 10 minutes. One small piece that is still frozen will cause the whole thing to freeze quick again.

I boiled about 12 gallons of water added the crab I was boiling brought to a reboil and cooked the crab for 20 min . Total time was about 60 to 70 min. Hope this helpied

I freeze them the minute I get them. They never stay in the freezer more than a couple months at a time because I grind them every morning for our smoothies. I would think that they could be froze at least a year or more without tasting or smelling freezer burn.

That's kind of hard question to answer. It depends to some extent on what you fill them with, how much other stuff is in the freezer, how cold your freezer is, etc. My experience is usually several hours to overnight, but it seems to vary some. They seem to freeze fastest in our upright full freezer and when kept on a separate shelf or, at least, away from other stuff as much as possible.

Bring the water to just beginning to boil. Not a rolling boil, just when you see the beginning of the bubbles. I also use a tad bit less water than the instructions say and just press the potatoes down into it, then I cover the container with something to let it stay hot while they soften in the water. Love these! You reminded me that I need to order some. Thanks! Enjoy! :o)

You'll have better luck if you attach them to the bags BEFORE you put the meat in and freeze. I wrap the meat in foil, attach the label and then freeze. Amazon May not like this, but you can get a roll of paper tape at the hardware store and it will cost less and last nearly forever. Use the same instructions as above

I mix mine with frozen brine shrimp and freeze the leftovers, then thaw it when I am ready to use it again. I think it's fine.

You can do both, hot or cold. Cold for sliced fruit or warm for rolls. I stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, but you could leave it in the refrigerator for awhile as well. For warming, I use my InstaHot tap to put boiling water in it for a few minutes and then dry for a nice warm. You could probably use the hot tap water as well.
