TEMPERING THE ICE PUCKS
Tempering Ice means allowing the ice to adjust at room temperature until it
develops a glossy, wet look and is clear from all sides. Tempering is an
important step for producing the lightest and fluffiest Shave Ice. Many
factors determine the amount of time it takes to temper. In most cases, your
ice puck should be ready to use in 10 minutes or less.
NOTE: Ice pucks made with plain water require tempering. For mixed base
recipes, refer to the recipe details for tempering instructions. The Ice Molds
are used for best performance for both coarse and fine shaving. It’s easy to
get shave ice from tempered ice out of the molds.
TIP: For the fluffiest Shave Ice, we recommend tempering the ice puck for
10 minutes, and then using the Fine Shaving Blade.
ICE PUCK PREPARATION
-
Fill the ice mold with water or flavored ice base mixture of your choice.
NOTE: To keep the mold from overflowing while freezing, be sure not to fill past the fill line
visible just below the rim of the mold. -
Affix the lid to the top of the mold and place it in the freezer for 12 to 24 hours.
NOTE: Freezing time may vary and will depend both on the temperature of your freezer as well as the sugar or alcohol content of your mixture. -
Remove the molds from the freezer and allow ice to rest, in the mold, for up to 10 minutes this is called “Tempering” and is recommended to achieve ideal Shave Ice results. Alternative Steps: Remove the lid, turn the ice mold on its side and run it under lukewarm water for 15 – 20 seconds, rotating the mold to wet all sides. Turn the mold upside down and press firmly on the mold upside down and press firmly on the bottom/sides of the mold to extract the puck.
NOTE: If you follow Alternative Steps above, the recommended tempering time may be greatly reduced. Your ice is properly tempered when a wet, glossy sheen covers the entire surface. This can take up to 10 minutes under some circumstances.
NOTE: See “Tips for Great Results” sections in Online “Product Guide” for more details on Ice Puck Preparation
SET UP AND ASSEMBLY – PREPARING TO MAKE SHAVE ICE
Before using your Shave Ice Attachment, clean it by following the detailed instructions in “Care and Cleaning” section
- Turn the Stand Mixer off (Off/0) and then unplug.
- For Stand Mixer with a hinged attachment hub cover: Flip up to open. For Stand Mixer with a removable attachment hub cover: Turn the attachment knob counterclockwise to remove the attachment hub cover.
- Insert the Main Housing into the attachment hub, make sure the power shaft fits into the square hub socket. If necessary, rotate the attachment back and forth for proper fitment. The pin on the attachment housing will fit into the notch of the hub rim when in the proper position.
- Tighten the Stand Mixer attachment hub knob clockwise until the attachment is completely secured into the Stand Mixer.
- Ensure that the upper lever of the housing is rotated all the way to left. If not, rotate it to the left until it clicks into place. This will ready the attachment for use and must be completed before loading the Ice Puck into the Ice Cup and attaching it to the housing.
