How much ice to fill it?

I think we used one large bag of ice. We covered the bottom only, then placed the bowls of salad on top

We didn't fill the container, we just put a layer of crushed ice on the bottom to keep salads cool for a couple of hours. You must remember that water from the melted ice must be emptied, and that is not an easy task.

It depends on what you have in it and how long it needs to be cold. A couple large bags of ice will fill it and and be enough to add as the ice melts. If your party goes for many hours on a hot day a third bag would not be a problem.

I'm not sure but it will depend on how many salads you put in them I would think. There were other people who did that part for me.

That would depend on several factors: how many, and the size of the items to be placed in the ice, how deep you want the ice to be, how long you want to go before replenishing the ice as it melts. I think 7 to 10 pounds of ice should be plenty for most uses.

0.66 (or 20ml) using water to fill level with the top. I wouldn't recomend filling that far. When baking brownies/cakes I "fill" with 10ml. I can freeze about 15ml (1/2 OZ) of baby food or juice without making a huge mess.

It depends, if you empty the bin into baggies or another bin for freezing its around a gallon size bag, if you leave the ice in the bin and don't remove it the ice will build up until the light indicating the ice is full lights up and its probably a little more than a gallon baggie. I myself leave the ice in the bin and use it straight from the machine and what ever ice does not get used melts and is refrozen into more ice, this way I don't have to fill the water constantly.

I believe 4-nice and big,well made,cold only lasts for approx. 10 minutes though. Check out the Donjoy Ice system.

Ice starts being made in a few minutes but it will probably take an hour for the basket to fill

2 k cups will fill it up. I like to brew up 1 k cup and freeze it in an ice cube tray. Use a couple of those as ice along with some regular ice cubes. Maybe 1/2 to 1/2 ratio. Drinks won't water down.I use the 2nd and or 3rd settings on the b -70(it has 5)

Hey can hold up to 3.75 ounces. Since liquids expand when frozen, it's best to leave a 1/2 inch or so at the top. I would plan for 3.5 ounces x 6 = 21 ounces. 3.75 ounces = 110.9 ml.

26 ounces but I usually fill the bowl with lots of ice cubes and then top off with as much cold water as it'll then hold

I'd guess 2 cups or so if you fill it full? It's a little bigger than a dvd.

About the same as a regular ice cube. It is filled with liquid, which freezes.

A lot but don't fill up the entire base. Just fill up about slightly more than half, then the rest water. The wet sand/water mix is enough to keep it pretty stable for ordinary striking routine.

Mine just arrived, and I put in 8 normal size ice cubes. After a few minutes of cranking, I had about 24 oz. of snow. It's actually finer crushed than my commercial sno cone machine. Just be sure to refrigerate your syrup, because room temperature syrup will melt the snow very fast.

I have a soft cooler that holds about eight "sodas" that fits in here perfectly with some room to spare. I haven't tried to just fill it with ice but I don't think it would work very well. There is nothing to insulate the ice from melting and it being black doesn't help either. A five dollar soft cooler is the way to go in my opinion.

We always make 4 quarts, but the Nostalgia manual says "up to 4 quarts" and I believe that you could make less if you wanted to. Regardless of how much mix is used, the key is to ensure that the ice/salt mixture stays above the level of the mix in the canister. This will ensure consistent freezing.

Put a bottle and a half in when your tank is almost empty. Then fill the tank. That would be enough.
