TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
Preparing Your Ice Molds
• It is important to note the subtle fill
line just below the top rim of the Ice
Molds. Please do not fill the molds
beyond this line as it may negatively
affect freezing.
• Allow ice molds to freeze for a
minimum of 12 hours. Note that some
mixed base recipes may require more
time to freeze due to a variety of
ingredients.
• For recipes with sugar, there is a
delicate balance between a mixture that
is sweet to the taste but still capable of
freezing hard enough to shave. Please
follow recipes as closely as possible to
ensure great results.
• For recipes with Alcohol, you should
not exceed an above over 8% within the
mixture. This will help ensure the mixture
freezes hard enough to shave.
• Consider removing frozen ice pucks
from the molds and storing them in
another container inside your freezer.
This is referred to as "Ice Harvesting"
and will help ensure you always have
ice on hand when the occasion calls for
Shave Ice.

Shave Ice Troubleshooting Tips
• Fine Blade Creates Coarse Ice - This
can occur if the ice is still too cold.
Consider extending the tempering time.
Alternatively, check the blade for any
possible damage as this can affect shave
performance.
• Puck Does Not Shave - This can occur
when a recipe mixture is too soft or too
hard. If the mixture is too soft, it may
contain too much sugar or alcohol to
freeze properly. Consider revisiting the
recipe. If the mixture is too hard, the
puck may need to temper for longer. See
"Making Shave Ice".
