Question: how fine is the ice shaved?  i'm from new orleans and sno wizard makes the snow balls down there…similar?  finely shaved?
Document: This snow cone machine is better than I expected! Not only does it work as promised, it also makes better snowcones than I've had at fairs. We originally got it for our son who is on a special diet, but now we all love it. It makes fine shaved ice that has a texture like powdery snow. The finely shaved ice soaks up the flavored syrups better than snow cones I've gotten at fairs. The syrups included in the set are all delicious.Using the machine is easy.
I live in New Orleans where there are snow cone stores everywhere, and this little machine makes the exact same "snow." My husband loves them and I can't wait to buy more flavors. Its so easy to use; however, I would recommend buying more ice molds or continuously freeze multiple ice blocks because they are so addictive that you will want more than just one.
Don't let the other machines and brands trick you, this is the finest shaved ice you will ever experience, by fine I mean finely shaved. I just bought another one of these for a friend so she can have this special treat with her grandkids. Until I get back to Hawaii this will be my little &#34;fix&#34; to remind me of that special place.
I recommend compacting the shaved ice with a straw or spoon before adding the syrup. Since the ice is so fine, it is perfect for absorbing the flavored syrup and makes for a tasty and refreshing snow cone. After familiarizing myself with the machine, I was able to fill up a snow cone cup and a little over the top in less than a minute. My favorite flavor by far is grape, but the cherry and blue raspberry flavors are good too.
Bought this in a panic moment when our daughter asked Santa for a snow cone machine... Ummm. We have been very pleased! Super easy to make. Simple freeze water in the provided trays. Slip 1 &#34;puck&#34; into the top and hold down the button. Fluffy ice and good syrups. I've quickly found new (healthier) syrup recipes, so I'm not feeding my daughter pure sugar and red40 everyday. She can't tell and loves this treat.
Having grown up in the islands, I'm very familiar with Hawaiian-style shaved ice (we call it "shave ice", without the "d"). It's light, powdery, and very fine. You will NOT get this kind of ice with this machine. We've tried the ice mold that comes with the machine as well as cubes. The molded ice seemed easier for the machine to grip and yielded much better results than the cubes.
I bought this for my place just for me. The ice blocks work great, but must follow instructions if you really want that fine snow (let it melt for 5 min) and love the flavors. Ice block is too much for one person like me but just dump it in the sink when I'm done. Good quality so far with no problems and think its perfect for a small family use. Great buy at the right price.
I had no idea how much I would love this machine. Easy to use, quickly makes a whole lot of shaved ice. Noisy, but it works fast, so the noise is tolerable. The syrups they include are great. I'm sorry I bought a bunch if other syrups from another company because these are so much better. Lots of fun and tastes great.
My son loves his snow cones and now he can have one when he wants. This machine works great and the flavors taste good Blue Rasberry is the best one. I would def recommend. Machine makes about 4-5 small snow cones with the 2 bowls it comes with. I also tried with ice cubes and it worked fine.
Shave ice texture is perfect, much finer than "snow cone" ice. Machine is small and makes small cones, that is, it does not heap up on top, and with the 2 "pucks" you will get maybe 6 cones. You could freeze 2 molds, empty, put ice discs back in freezer in plastic bag and make another batch, in advance of need. We did use ice cubes and that worked fine, too.
Answer: It's one of the very few machines < $200 that produces high quality finely powdered shave ice.
