Freezing the Freezer Canister
The most important step in making frozen desserts, is making sure that the freezer canister is completely frozen. The Gel Canister Ice Cream Maker features a double walled insulated freezer canister for perfect frozen desserts every time. To freeze your canister, wrap it in a large resealable freezer bag and place it upright in the coldest part of your freezer. Using a resealable freezer bag prevents ice crystals from forming on the freezer canister. The length of time to properly freeze the freezer canister depends on how cold your freezer temperature is. To make sure that your freezer canister is properly frozen, you should not hear any gel moving within the freezer canister when you shake it.
