Frequently Asked Questions
The press makes 2.5 inch diameter ice diamonds
It is a matter of preference. Copper will tarnish over time when exposed to oxygen and humid air. Many owners of the Meltdown prefer the authentic tarnished look that comes with age. When you want to restore the shine to new, simply follow the cleaning instructions on this site.
The Meltdown works best when it is at room temperature. When making consecutive ice diamonds, simply run the entire Meltdown press under warm water for 15-30 seconds. You are now ready to make your next ice diamond.
Yes, you can pre-make and freeze ice diamonds from your Meltdown Diamond Ice Press, so they’re ready whenever you need them.
This may occasionally occur if you leave the Meltdown cover in place after the ice diamond has been formed because melted water can produce a vacuum seal. But thanks to the vents in Meltdown covers, you can avoid “lockup” by removing the cover as soon as it completes its descent and reaches the drain base.
Each Mogul is custom-made by American craftsmen from solid, high-end copper, requiring a three-hour process. They are also created in limited quantities (not mass-produced like other products) so the quality is impeccable, and the copper will last a lifetime.
Made from 99.8% solid copper, American-made Meltdown makes exquisite ice diamonds. Copper is 1.7 times more conductive than aluminum and three times heavier, so when you use Meltdown, the extreme conductivity and weight of the solid copper press effortlessly melts and molds the ice. The pinless design means there’s nothing to break.
Distilled and “purified “ water (produced through reverse osmosis) can actually deliver substandard results. Our recommendation is to try using your tap water first. If that doesn’t create the clarity or taste you desire, we suggest bottled spring water, available at most grocery and convenience stores.
Pour tap water or bottled spring water into the Vamoose to the fill line and then place it in the freezer. When ready to make your ice diamond, remove the ice from the Vamoose device and the silicone clarity cup. Let it sit for 3–5 minutes, allowing the ice to acclimate before placing it into the Meltdown. The ice will become a little wet on the outside, which prevents thermal shock that can cause fractures in the surface of the ice diamond. For best results, use the ice diamond within 24 hours of freezing and tongs to transfer it from the Vamoose to the Meltdown press.
