Will your Freezer freeze ice? - R-pod Owners Forum

This week end we also test the pod freezer and it's not cold enough to put fudge or things like that .

They were all half-melt ..

But somebody have tell me that it's almost normal in this little freezer.

I will never again put fudge or creamsicle in the Pod freezer ..

Curious if anyone actually has or does make ice cubes in trays in their freezer. We've managed to keep frozen foods relatively frozenish in the past but haven't actually tried to covert liquid water into ice.

Because my DW is notorious for making Rum Runners throughout our trips she always wants fresh ice. Sometimes the cooler ice will get some debris from around camp inside and she was asking me if I thought she could make maybe one tray of ice at a time in the freezer?!?!

Reason I now ask everyone here is because on this past weekend trip the DW came up with another brilliant permanent addition to our summer camping pack list. This was the addition of Otter Pops to our food selection. I hadn't had these since I was a kid and at first laughed at her for wanting them. First let me publicly apologize and thank her for being smarter than me because on high 90's and mid 100 temperature days, a frozen Otter Pop is quite possibly the most amazing thing in the world.

Here's the kicker though, our freezer was empty sans the Otter Pops and they were frozen solid before the move to the Pod freezer. I moved them over Friday morning and I think, now on Saturday when we got them out they were slushy at best. The ones at the back of the freezer next to the metal piece were frozen pretty well though but again most the others were a nice icy slush.

So now I'm curious if we could actually start with liquid water and turn it into ice, and I'm also wondering if anyone else's freezer performs similar to ours or if maybe we have an issue with the cooling.

	I don't know, I had Chunky Monkey in my freezer this past week and it stayed nice and frozen.

	Yep, sounds just like my freezer! I actually did freeze 2 ice trays this past trip. The one on the bottom of the freezer froze overnight. The tray sitting on top of it took over TWO days to freeze solid enough.
