![Making CLEAR Ice [SOLVED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CGtnKks0gd8/mqdefault.jpg)
A couple of tips. First, my wife and I made a living from Shave Ice. 27 years to be exact. Somewhere around 200,000 shave ice, San Diego. DON"T open a store front business even in San Diego. Too seasonal. Strive to get into street fairs is where the money is. Big ones! One or two day events or large parties like a school event. We would go to an elementary school and serve the entire school in less than 3 hours (2 people 500 shave ice). Lastly. Don't freeze your own ice! Yes it works but the product is inferior and blade freeze is always an issue. Best is purchase 10 lb blocks from an ice house. Split them and trim. In emergency buy ice carving blocks and cut them in pieces. Trust me, we have done it. Lastly, the block must warm up to near melting point. Notice I said block. A large chest freezer filled with blocks will take 2 days to warm up once unplugged. The ice must be warmed up throughout. A single block set out warms up quickly on a hot day but usually only on the outside. Warm it up slower in a cooler to get the temperature throughout the block near melting. Your shave ice will be soft and moldable. Blades won't freeze. The ice will come out as long slivers and not like sugar. Kind of sticky Like a snowball on a warm winter day. Check your ice company for CLEAR blocks. Some use pressed block or don't have a process to make perfectly clear blocks. Such as they use in ice carving. No impurities in the center. Looks like a block of glass. Clear. That is gourmet shave ice! HOPE YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL!
what kind of living did you make from it?
@@BrandonBaunach We paid all our bills for 6 months out of the year from Shave Ice and even saved a little (San Diego). The other months we had a stained glass business. Times are different today. So many rules. Even street fare promotors are engulfed in regulations, security, permits, insurance etc. which means you pay much more to be there and have to charge more. In the beginning, early 80's we could get a booth space for under $40 - $75 for a day. Might get in the event a month or even a few weeks in advance. Now you may get turned down a year in advance. Prices can be 10 times higher for a weekend event.
When we first started we bought a shave ice machine and a freezer. We had a prime location at the U.S. Sandcastle Competition in Southern California. Lines 50 people deep. Now a custom cart will cost 10 grand or more with a zillion sinks to make the health dept happy. Booth space and often insurance is required. You can't keep your cart at home but require a commissary to store it where it can be inspected.
State fare nearly impossible to get into. You'd have to buy someone's business and even then no guarantee. Some want money upfront AND a percentage. If you don't sell enough they may not let you back the following year. Even events that we had been in for 10 years there were no guarantees that you would be back the following year which happened more than once. We tried 2 store front businesses and failed quickly. If shave ice was the major sale you will fail anywhere in America, at least if you had to count on it 365 days a year. To be honest, if with all my knowledge and experience, I tried to make a go of it today, I would probably fail as well. I still love the product but would highly recommend you NOT make a business of it. Perhaps a hobby of sorts where you just had fun and made a few bucks from time to time. However, if you are determined to make a go of it, I wish you the best and hope you prove me wrong.
Hope this helps.
Appreciate the highly qualified perspective! I’m planning on getting an ice shaver and setting it up at a few events a year for family and friends (including car club gatherings) to give away quality, Hawaii-like shave ice. I know the good shavers are pricey and I’m fine with that. Which shaver(s) do you suggest and your favorite syrup brand(s) for the best quality results?
Great advice. Captive audiences are best ie. Schools , sporting events. The hotter the better. I disagree re. Making your own ice. I use plastic paint buckets and you have to cover. Fill to 1 gallon mark. Chest freezers. We use Swann machines for the past 30 years.
@@michaelgadilhe1509 Not all wines are the same. Not all ICE is the same. Not only can you not produce a thousand pounds of plastic paint bucket ice a week (which we would use quite often when I was in the business, but you will NEVER see a CLEAR block of paint bucket ice. When it spins on your Swann ice shaver it won't compare to the clear crystal block ice made for professional ice carvers. It doesn't shave the same it doesn't taste the same. Of course in a pinch I have used your bucket ice which most people won't detect the difference. Best wishes.
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Great tips! Thanks.
If New maybe Iceshavers com but I feel be patient and find one used. I really like all the improvements snowie has made to block ice shaving, just wish I would have had a chance to try the snow so I could truly recommend it.
Snowie....Best frozen treat everrrrrrrr......healthy too❤
Based on the speed the shaved ice came out and the SOUND it made I can tell you that you need to re-adjust your blade for the perfect SNOW like shavings... I have been to numerous shaved ice places and they all make that mistake. Also another indicator is that the hole you had in the middle... that would never happen to a REAL SNOW, so if you re-adjust your blade (where it's lower so the shaving is a lot slower) you would get a better consistency & Save on SYRUP also (good snow = less syrup) =)
What brand of machine is that? And do you think it would be a good one for large volume-running constantly for hours?
this deservse a like!
How do you keep the ice block from sliding around while shaving? Although we have it in position and lower the spikes to hold the ice in place it continues to move off center.
try to put the spike harder into the ice
Thanks Jared! I am looking to buy one I think...how much did this model cost you? Do you deal with a specific retailer or direct to the company?
Hey have you had any Problems with your ice block cracking into as soon as I take out my ice it cracks it’s killing my business please help
Where do I get one of these machines for home use!?
Where do you get these blocks!? I like plan ice I know people who are addicted to the plan shave ice fluff. What is in it!?
Good evening, I could inform any supplier of this machine in Brazil? Thanks.
Swan si-100e. As far as quality it will last for the large volume and its built really well. As far as speed, it'll just depend on how good you get at using the machine. Are you looking to buy one or rent one? Snowie just came out with a block ice shaver that looks pretty cool. It'll fill a cup in about 4-5 seconds. Haven't tried it yet so can't recommend it but check out the video and compare the 2 machines. Let me know if that helps answer your question and if you have any others.
Snowie is not that good.
I have one of those machines, but it damaged me and I can't find the damage. Can you help me I don't know if it's the blade
This model new is about $2,000. That's why we found one used!! We Bought a mobile shaved ice stand on a local online classified site. but with to party business I had to many things going to try and run a stand at set hours. We found it was best for us to rent out the machine or to cater to events and ended up selling the stand and keeping the ice shaver equipment. We got such a good deal with the guy before us putting in a lot of work/money into it and then just not working out for him.
Jared Collings what model shaver is this, I want to improve our band snow cone fundraiser business. The snow cone machine we use is not as good as the Hawaiian shaved ice.
Hi what brand is this machine ,could you please share the website
What kind of machine is this & where can I purchase it from?
what kind of freezer do u use or need to freeze ur own ice blocks ?
We freeze our own ice using buckets that are similar to 1 gallon ice cream buckets. Using just a regular freezer.
How many cups can you make from each block of ice?
You can do that. There are companies that make a milk or cream based block with flavoring. Then its shaved down in ribbon kind of form. I think in Taiwan they use milk blocks for their popular shave ice. I could imagine freezing a bloody mary mix into a block, shaving it, then pouring some alcohol over it maybe for a party. Meat, thats getting strange to me.
How much ice do you shave into the cup? I never know when to stop shaving.
Well if you do it the Polynesian style the higher the better! Lol! We don't know how to measure "small" so we pile ours up to a big dome almost the size of the cup itself!
Apply gentle pressure to ice as you fill the cup.
Im having issues with this shaver. the shaved ice is sticking to the blade and its causing the it not to shave the ice. i then have to remove the block of ice, clear out the stuck ice on the blade, put the ice block in and restart. do you know what i am doing wrong?
Andrew Garcia there’s not much you can do about that, the blade just freezes over every once in a while, you just have to keep taking it off and I usually scrape it off with the corner of the block and throw hot water on it. Also the block tends to stick more if it’s being used straight out of the freezer, you should let it sit out 5-10 minutes before using it
What am I doing wrong if the ice just collapses and looses shape when I pour the syrup on? Then it will turn to a liquid mess in minutes....
So it’s possible that you may be shaving the ice too fine? What kind of cup are you using? Maybe an insulated type cup will help as well? Like styrofoam?
Gently press ice as you fill cup
Glad you liked them, let me know if you need any other advice.
What brand of machine is this ?
Swan si-100e
Thank you
Are parts expensive? I heard the replacement blades aren't cheap.
so not sure about all the parts. It's a high quality machine so I can't Imagine something going out. If I remember right I think I got a replacement blade for $35. If you take care of the blade they can last a while though. Make sure to let the ice temper or melt enough to be transparent...that makes the ice softer. I
We just sharpen our blades. Replacement blades are expensive, so we have opted to sharpen them ourselves. We've been doing this for almost 7 years so saving a little money here and there helps.
We sharpen them by hand with a regular sharpening blade. It doesn't take too long and it saves a little money.
Nicolette Iraeimoana Keresoma Verdugo thinking of starting a shaved ice biz. I could use advice
Big Ben's Lawncare , so not sure if you’re still thinking about starting a stand but we never tried to do that for a full summer. We had bought a stand that was mobile and set up just a couple of times in some parking lots with not much success because I think it would take some time to establish business. But with all the other businesses I was working on we just decided to sell the shack and keep the shaver and rent it out or we provided it as a full serviced option for parties/events
Ky price haii

He wasted quite a bit of ice shavings
You could scoop the shavings up from the tray but fresh ice is the best. When it hits the tray it will melt and tends to be more slushy.
Jjjjjjjjj
