Here is the setup. I just bought a shaved Ice machine from Big lots! ... Well actually, my wife bought it...I thought it looked way too cheap...but anyway...
So in the instructions it tells you to load the ice into the top bid where it spins around and gets shaved into the container below.
In a number of the reviews and in the manual itself it suggests leaving the ice out for 20-30 minutes to let it "soften" up a bit...
That confused me. I thought that ice had the same density or "hardness" regardless of how cold it was.
That's my question. Does Ice get harder or more dense as it gets colder?
Maybe they are saying that the ice should be closer to it's melting point, but I'm not sure how that would help the shaving process...
thanks for the input.
