Before Each Use: For best results, you need to soak the wooden bucket of the freezer before each use. This will help prevent the bucket from leaking as you make ice cream. Just follow these simple steps: Make sure the bucket of the freezer is dried out first.. About a half hour before use, fill the bucket with water and let it sit. The wood will swell and become watertight.. Discard water, then add your ice and salt as instructed, and enjoy the process of making your own ice cream!. 6QT: 15"H x 11-3/4"OD, 24 lb
