Can I store ice cream in the frezer without harming the ceramic coting?

The word is coating, not coting. I have never tried this but I suppose you could. If you are afraid something might happen to it just take it out of the freezer and temper it in two stages:1. transfer it to your fridge first2. leave it there for 1 half hour to one hour, preferably the latter.3. remove from fridge and let it reach room temperature before using in stove or oven.Regards,Rufus Velvet

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

Oxo doesn't suggest freezing it at an angle. What it says is, "The silicone lid forms a seal, so you don't have to worry about tipping or tilting the Tray when you carry it from sink to freezer. Now you can store the Ice Cube Tray in any position, even on an angle between the ice cream and the frozen veggies in a crowded freezer!" Those are two different things. The silicone cover prevents spills when you tilt it a bit when you're carrying it. After the ice is frozen, you can store the tray however you want and the ice doesn't come out.

yes, just be sure to a hoy pad or some such to remove the lid after, and don't set it down on anything cold

The fridge would be fine. I fill it with ice water which would be colder than putting it in the fridge.

Yes, the manufacture wants you to get it as close to zero degrees as you can. If the can is still liquid; it is not cold enough and may have trouble making the ice cream. Depending on its temperature it may just take longer or give you a softer product. Turn down you freezer as far as possible, put the canister in the back part of the freezer and surround it with other foods. That should help.

Some people have reported issues with the ice cream setting up properly in hot/humid climates. They seem to have agreed the way to get around this is to improvise a cover over the top with cling film as best you can to keep the cold in and hot out. Then it works no issues. Good tip to know.

Negative. It's not meant as a preservation unit as it does not have insulated siding. You CAN put hot or cold food in it though as it's stainless steel and safe for that, but it won't keep the temp hot or cold. Sorry :/

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

No, the canister does not need to be frozen. Ice cream freezes perfectly during the churning process. Just keep adding ice and salt as the ice melts.

I'm not really sure as I keep mine in the cupboard. I would guess that it would be ok since it is airtight, but the only way to know for sure would be to try it. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Answer: YES. From the package instructions: "Transfer ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze, or serve straight from the Canister. Lid and Lid Cap are included for the option of storing the Canister in the freezer."

I don't think I would try that... I use it to keep my lunch in while I am at school. The ice always melts... I think the reason for this is because the top is not insulated, it is just a plastic lid.

You got a cold fridge! Not to me. But be careful not to fill your container to the brim, the ice cream can work its way into the lid. Don't try and take the lid apart: you will render it useless. Leaving you with a glorified bucket.

I've frozen very liquidy ice cream before with no problem. The cartons seem to have a light wax coating on the outside that should protect the paper from saturation.

My lid has sunken and takes the frosting off. Unless it can be stored flat, without anything on top, this will happen.

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water
