For a school project I need to set up a booth and sell shaved ice (snow cones or whatever) but the machine I have is much too small for the near hundred (maybe more) people we need to serve, theres no way we can bring blocks of ice to school and shave it there.
So what I was thinking was, pre-crushing it (or blending it in a blender since it's faster) and storing it in a cooler. Would this work or would it melt? Or even freeze into one big block of ice? Thanks in advance
LOL no it would not work they would melt back into a huge block of ice. Think about when you put ice cubes in a cup when you put them in together they melt a little then they atrt to get stuck together.
How about you have the people go in groups like group A B C etc. and then say your serving group A while could be like 20 ppl. make small snow cones.

Instead of cutting vegetables, can you just blend them?
Hi it's me again. I'm wondering if it's OK if I blend the vegetables in the blender instead of cutting them with a knife? Also, can I cook pears, apples, etc like you would cook a carrot? I know that bananas go very well with "salty" food (at least with beans). But what about other fruits like apples, pear, etc?
Thank you very much.
Generally, if you blend it, the result will be soupy and disgusting. Vegetables made of cells that are full of water, which gives them that crispness. When a vegetable gets old, it gets limp, because it’s lost some of its water.
When you blend it, the blades cut open some of the cells, and the water comes pouring out. The result is soup. Which is OK if you want soup, but some cooking techniques won’t work properly on a soupy vegetable. Sauteeing, in particular, depends on the oil to get up to well above the boiling point of water, causing tasty chemical reactions. If that oil is thinned with water, it won’t work.
Even if you are making soup, you generally want to blend it after you’ve cooked it, not before. The cooked vegetables are softer, and blend better. Blend it before and it’ll come out lumpy.
You can use a food processor to chop or shred vegetables. Unlike blending, that’s really more like automating what a knife or shredder does. I never really find a use for the chopping attachment, since I can generally do better with a knife, but I sometimes use the shredding blade on hard foods like potatoes and carrots.
You can out apples or pears into dishes calling for carrots. They’re a bit sweeter, but they’re in roughly the same flavor area. They’re too sweet for most savory dishes, like soups or sautees, but a chopped apple or pear is an interesting addition to a salad, where you’d use a carrot.
But the texture can be very different, which is especially important when you cook them: carrots are very tough and fibrous and take a long time to break down. Some apples and most pears turn to mush pretty rapdily; some apple species are more resilient but not nearly as much as carrots. That will generally change a dish for the worse.
the requirements section say that i need it but they dont say i dont either but on install page its says the programes for windows built with python i tried instaling it but setup looks confusing asnd i also heard that i need to set it up with blender could someone tell me if i need it and how to set it up on viista
Note:I run Vista Ultimate sp2
Yes, you can run Blender without Python installed. It only allows the built in functions, but that is still a plethora to work with.
Once Blender is open, if you do not have Python installed, you will see the message:
Checking for installed Python.. No Installed Python found.
Only built in modules are available. Some scripts may not run.
Continuing happily.
Not only can you run Blender without Python, but it will run happily.
