how long does it need to freeze

It needs to freeze for a few hours before every use. But it offers about an hour of cold therapy. Love it! And it was a great price.

I am sure this will vary....but when fully thawed it takes ours about 2 hours to freeze.

frozen 45-50 minutes, be sure to put a strip of foil around the edges. If not frozen should take about 35-40 minutes. The contents must be thoroughly chilled before baking though, that is important.

It takes probably two or three hours to freeze all the way. It's about 9" by 4". That's a rough guess. But you should know that I found basically the same thing at Wal-Mart for only $9.99 and I like it a little better. It stays cool longer.

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.

I have used it in the deep freeze and left it in there for months and never had a freezing problem,my freezer is set to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

The base the silicone molds are attached to is hollow, so there's no solution in the base to freeze.. The instructions say fill, then freeze at zero degrees for at least 6 hours. I'm sure freezing time varies depending on your freezer and probably the substance you're trying to freeze, but you won't have a popsicle in 10 minutes.

It's OK if it freezes. It's a very durable product as long as you don't overfill it it works the same frozen or not.

I sincerely doubt it. This product has been a huge dissappointment. I would estimate that this ice pack would stay frozen for 4-5 hours.

Frozen 6 months .Otherwise around 3-5 weeks .To extend life as you slice it wipe exposed surface with apple vinegar

I think the directions said 24 hours? Maybe it was 12 I can't recall exactly. I made a space in my freezer for it when I got it home so it had been in there for a week or so but it is too much space to leave it in there permanently.

A couple hours. They don't freeze solid, but they do stay cold for a while. I feel they work better than ice due to no melting. My wife and I use them all year to keep a small cooler, cold. They are great!

It didnt take long to defrost. I did a trial run with this product. I placed it in a foil thermal wrap with a frozen ice container. Didnt last long, but my ice container was still frozen

I usually put in fridge if using within 2-3 days. Otherwise I freeze, usually I use that within a couple of weeks but I am sure it stays good longer in feezer

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.

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

In a closed freezer (assuming the power is on) they would last indefinitely- with the power off, I would think they would last weeks assuming the freezer is in a cool spot indoors.Freeze them as long as possible, at least 24 hours works best for me. But they do freeze in about 3 hours or so.

It actually depends on your freezer. I put mine in the freezer compartment of our side-by-side refrigerator and it freezes in a few hours. Our chest freezer doesn't work as fast. That's why I have at least two of these coolers on hand so while one is freezing, I can use the other one. Good Luck.
