Can I put the bucket of soft ice cream in the freezer to firm up, then decant into a glass container?

I don't see the harm. Just use a non-metallic utensil to avoid scratching it.

Yes u probably could, but when mine is the thickeness I want, I remove it from the prep bucket and put into plastic one quart freezer containers. Air will not get to the icecream in the freezer containers.

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.

I think it depends on what kind of glass it is. Something like pyrex would be OK, but fragile glass - maybe not so much.

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.

If you run the maker until it stops the product will be fluffy but it has a timer so you can set it to stop earlier which will produce a more dense product...but you would need to place product in the freezer to firm up. I love this machine!

I have not used this way, but I imagine they could as long as you don't seal them tight until after the freezing process is done. Product inside jar will expand while freezing and could crack the glass if no room for the expansion. I would put plastic wrap over jar until frozen then add the lid.

If you use fondant, I make sure the fondant is in the mold firmly. Then place in the freezer for ten minutes. It comes out without breaking.

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.

hard ice will not fit into the opening but you can make a bath of very cold ice cube water and put into it with a funnel or large measuring cup. You could also put this very cold bottle into the freezer but please set a timer so that it is removed before it froze solid.

Also, After freezing cycle is complete, I transfer my ice cream to pint or quart sized containers and place in the freezer to "ripen" for several hours - overnight. I quickly rinse out my canister and return it to the freezer to refreeze for the next creation.

I make homemade ice cream and use the larger size for freezing it. Works great!

Absolutely. Just mix ice cream, very cold milk and a little syrup for more flavor. Just mix it until all the ice cream liquifies.Just a few seconds.

I have only used mine in the freezer for things like brown sugar. Not sure I would do so with liquids which expand.

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.

Yes you can. The refrigeration unit is all around the freezing cylinder and is no problem

No. I put plastic wrap over the ice cream (mainly to keep it 'airtight') and the put the lid on. The lid then has no contact with moisture and it's really easy to open. Hope it helps.

It is in a glass bottle and freezing is possible but it is very well packaged so I don't think it will. The flavor though is outstanding.

In my experience, it is denser than what is produced by a normal ice cream maker but probably not as dense as you'd get in a commercial gelato shop with larger, professional grade machines. And regardless, you'll probably want to let it set up in the freezer for a little while before serving it.

Yes, the removable cylinder needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 8 hours. Overnight is better! I am about to order a second freezer bowl so I can make a larger amount of ice cream while all the hopeful people stand around and watch! Great product, and you can tailor the ice cream to your taste!

You can definitely store the aluminum canister that is on the inside of the machine into the freezer. My family has always done that for years, it has a plastic twist on/off cover. You could also put your ice cream into plastic containers, leave room for expansion. It doesn't last very long, because it tastes so good!
