Is it safe to leave the bowl in the freezer longer than 24 hours? For example, a week?

That is where I keep it, ready to use. I cover the mouth with tin foil to keep it clean and no freezer smell in it.

I put mine in the freezer right after I clean it and it stays in there until I use it next time. I haven't had any problems.

I leave it in the freezer indefinitely so I will have it ready for whenever a craving strikes. I do not leave the ice cream in the bowl though--that I take out right away and put it in another container.

We shave a large bowl full and store it in the freezer for later use. It forms a slight "crust" if harder ice but generally stays nice and soft. I would expect a cooler full might melt some.

i didn't freeze it but it lasted in the fridge for about 1 week; i think you can freeze anything :) and it will indeed keep longer; but what will become of it and how it will taste i have no idea; since it's a root, it might still be good cooked.

I have had it for over a year and keep it in a container in the refrigerator. You can also keep it in a freezer and it should last lfor quite a long time.

Yes, when it starts just going back and forth it's time to transfer the mix to a separate container and stick it in the freezer for another couple of hours. Of course, you can eat it as soft serve immediately if you like!

You have to remove it and freeze for about 24 hrs before you make the ice cream. I store my empty bowl in the freezer so it is always ready when I get in the mood to make ice cream.

Yes it can. We keep it in the container ( a really nice tin one) in the freezer, but you don't really need to.

You will need something colder than just ice. The idea is to "freeze" it. Something that cannot be achieved with just a cooler with ice. After taking it out of the freezer it will last 30~40 min.

We typically let ours freeze overnight and that works best. It does not work if it's only in the freezer for an hour or two.

I keep this bowl in the freezer all the time so it will be ready at a moment's notice whenever I decide to make ice cream. I am not sure what the directions say how long it needs to be in the freezer to freeze the gel that is in between the walls - seems like it says 24 hours. If you keep it in the freezer it becomes a none issue. It works real well. I highly recommend it - sometimes I think I should get the second bowl to make ice cream for larger groups. One could make ice cream ahead of time, freeze it and make another later. If you add xanthum gum to it it does not get as icy as it would otherwise.

I leave mine in the freezer all the time and have never had a problem with it. I've had mine for at least a couple years.

I keep mine in the refrigerator because I do not use it every day and I do not want it to go bad. It can also be kept in the freezer.

We leave it in freezer. Its a freezer bag so should be fine. Haven't had any problems w that..Just remember you can't wash it only wipe out!

Yes, but be careful not to add frozen ingredients after hearing the bowl. Avoid putting it into cold water after heating.

The texture doesn't seem to get harder than softserve from the machine (unfortunately) You can freeze it in a tupperware in the freezer if you like the hand-dipped style texture. I find overchurning the mixture lets the ice cream turn back into "soup" as the bowl gives up all its chill, so maybe stop it at 20 or 25 minutes rather than waiting 30.
