Can you add cubes to the ice core instead of freezing the core?

Yes you could if you have ice cubes that would fit. It is a refillable tube that is empty when it arrives. Eurostoves

Sorry Rachel, I haven't tried that. Why don't you fill up an ice cube tray with yogurt instead of making popsicles.

Not a separate ice core but there is no reason you cannot put ice in the core used for strawberries, lemons, lines, berries, etc.

Yes, the ice core can be twisted off very easily. I froze plastic skeleton heads in the ice core for Halloween. My only complaint is that the plastic scratches easily and it is a VERY big dispenser and mine has always looked half empty.

Yes, you have to freeze them. They are just like any other Ice pack, but about the size of a slice of bread. There are four in a set, and work well.

You can use cubes too which I did. The molds I found a plastic container the same diameter and made a lot more and popped out when frozen and kept in zip loc in freezer but cubes work. It says not to Run for more than 2 minutes at a time but it takes a little over 3 to make a bowl full with one mold. I turned it off for 5 seconds half way through and then back on and no problems. We had shaved ice in Florida and they did the regular syrup then drizzled condensed milk over it. Luscious and healthy addition. We loved them. This is the reason we senior citizens bought this. Also great for presentation for sea food and fruit rings with fruit on top. It's noisy but so worth it. You won't regret it. I read about 30 reviews before I bought it.

I remove tops before completely frozen, rotate cubes in mold. It allows cubes to expand?? I've had good results keeping the sphere in one piece.

You can mix it with cold water if you use a blender. When I want to have it iced. I do a little(1/2 C) of warm water, mix it and then add the cold to it and then ice and it comes out real good.

I don't know why not. When the ice melts it will stay inside the icepack and not get the food wet.

YES! FREEZE or place ice packs in the refrigerator. They work a lot better that way!

Just don't fill it all the way to the top. Leave a little room for the ice to expand as it freezes.

The lid doesn't seal tightly so the cubes would likely clump up into one ice block. I use mine on the counter for coffee.

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

I'm not sure since I've never made one.....the issue that I had was with too much ice and frozen product. When we added some additional liquid it worked well.

Start with very hot water. This slows the freezing processes and has the side effect of producing very clear ice. The hotter the better, but not so hot you melt your trays.

I have not used it with ice cubes. I can't imagine that ice cubes would work as well as the ice forms it comes with. The ice would most likely by more course.

No. I keep the cubes in a plastic bag in the freezer. After I use them in a drink, I wash them off and refreeze them. I live in an apartment and could not move my refrig with ice maker in so this is a great space saving alternative. I use them all the time. I only keep an ice cube tray for ice for smoothies.
