The directions state do not eat anything while freezing, or drink anything, why is that??

Because it takes energy and heat to digest and breakdown food and even liquids. Which in turn would lessen the effects of the product.

I don't know if it does mix well in cold water, not actually tried it. As to drinking it iced, not tried either.

I put it in the freezer and nothing happened. It did not turn cold at all. I am very disappinted with this product.

Please know that the bowl does not 'heat' the water in the bowl. There is a thermostat inside the mechanism that keeps the contents in the bowl above freezing. The contents never feel hot or warm to the touch. My bowl has run dry on occasion and has never suffered any ill consequences.

No! The bowl goes in your home freezer for the prescribed amount of time, you place it in the base and you're ready to make your favorite frozen treat. No salt. No ice. No mess.

You need to add some stevia if your watching your sugar intake. Or make up some simple syrup to it. (you can make a batch and keep it in the fridge) It's bitter and drinking it straight is not going to taste good.

Forget the Potato Express. Try 10 seconds in mike, or toast normally; or wait a few minutes. Frozen bread thaws rapidly by itself.

You put water in. Dont use cold if it's already heated up. It evaporates pretty speedily, so check on it periodically. I fill to near the top so it lasts longer. Hope this helps!

I defrost on power level 3. Start with a couple of minutes, check, and then add one or two minutes more depending on the size of food. Watch carefully so it doesn't start to "cook". Have patience. It doesn't matter how many pounds or what kind of food.

Most sugar free drinks don't freeze well. The instructions recommend sugary drinks only. We tried sugar free soda, and it wouldn't turn to slush. Perhaps it simply depends on what is used instead of sugar.

You put the whole thing in the freezer, and if you want it cold, you must disregard the instructions and put it in the freezer NOT in a plastic bag. It works nicely, but doesn't get hugely cold, even that way. Done this way, it IS comfortable and comforting, however.

You have to follow the instructions. Make sure the mug has had enough time to properly freeze. Once you add the liquid, you need to stir it and basically scrape newly formed layers of ice off the mug walls. It not only helps build the slush you're looking for, but makes more room for new ice crystals to form. And most important, look at what you're using to make your slushies. The instructions are pretty clear in saying that drinks that contain artificial sweeteners don't work very well. I hope that helps. Good luck. >:)

It seems to me I recall a "warning" not to use frozen meat. Tio thoroughly thaw prior to putting in the cooker. I've followed that directive.

The cups handle freezing fine. I use them for ice cream so I won't eat more than I should. You have to remove the top carefully on frozen things, however; else, the cup will crack and then the ice cream will thaw and you'll have a mess on your hands. I wrote the manufacturer about that but the solution is easy. Just take the lid off without mashing the cup. My husband can't seem to remember that, though. :-)

No directions required. Put the tray on the counter, put your frozen food on tray, let sit till defrosted. Proceed to frying, baking, etc.

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I've used Diet Mountain Dew with no problems. We ALWAYS freeze the slush mug white part in our deep freeze (0 Degrees) because our small freezer that's part of the refrigerator only goes down to around 26 or 28 degrees and will not have enough coldness to work correctly. Also, I always make sure the liquid that I want to slush is cold from the refrigerator. Pour in and scrape the sides with a spoon and you should have slush in a few minutes.
