A while back, we got into making ice cream and haven't looked back since. Of course, we've made a lot of new friends who now come over anytime they want some great homemade ice cream :). We bought 4 of these Zak containers to store our homemade ice cream as these were (and still are) the only reusable options for home ice cream storage in the pint size.
I mention that this container is multi-purpose because it is large enough to put homemade ice cream directly into the container, or the standard store bought pint-sized container (e.g., Ben & Jerry's) if you want to take it on-the-go with you. The container is well insulated so will keep your ice cream chilled for a good 2-4 hours depending on outside temps. We've put these containers in coolers with ice to go camping and they lasted all day.
If you are using the container for making homemade ice cream, I suggest you get at least 2 as most ice cream recipes make a healthy 1 quart portion (assuming you don't eat it all while being made). When you make homemade ice cream, it often is not as hard when it comes out of the maker so you'll need to chill it for a while. One of the issues we found with using the Zak container in the freezer is that because it is very well insulated it takes longer to make the ice cream colder. This can be a problem if you plan to serve the ice cream the same day you make it. Our solution is to put the freshly made ice cream in the Zak container and instead of using a lid, put plastic wrap directly onto the ice cream (making sure to get a tight seal without any air). The ice cream will chill much faster this way.

Since the other reviewer had an unfortunate mishap and couldn't tell about the actual product in use, I will for once write a review. I bought this tub to store homemade ice cream and it has served the purpose well. The seal on the top seems to be quite tight and I have had much less of a problem with ice forming in the cream since using these. My only complaint is that the lid can be difficult to get off right after the container leaves the freezer...but within a few minutes it thaws enough to remove easily.

The container size and overall quality is good. However, opening the container can be difficult as there is nothing to really hold onto. The raised spoon on the lid is only slightly raised; definitely not enough to grab hold of. Also be sure not to fill the container to the top; leave about a 1/2 inch or so breathing room. As your ice cream sets, it will form an extremely tight suction making opening all the more difficult.

I originally saw this at crate and barrel (available only in white and cost more than here). I ordered 2 from amazon to put my homemade ice cream in. This container is quite nice and works well for my intended purpose. Works well for transporting ice cream.

We used the container one time for homemade ice cream. Initially, the only issue was that the lid was difficult to remove when frozen, but after a few minutes it worked fine. The main problem was after I hand washed the container, the lid started to leak. I thought maybe a little bit of ice cream got trapped in the lid, but it has been 2 weeks and I am still getting a liquid leaking out. Today I found a few teaspoons of liquid, that had a strong smell, had leaked out this past week which makes me think it is the gel lid. I might have a defective one, but it concerns me that it could get into my food. I threw away the container and will look for another storage option.

I really wanted to love this product, but the lid is insanely impossible to open. I don't even understand how this product ever got past the testing phase. Both my partner and I were literally screaming in frustration to open it. You cannot get a grip on it! It's really disappointing. I have an ice cream maker and one of the reasons I rarely use it is because when I store the leftovers, they get all icy and crystalline. This container completely remedies that issue, but creates another, more detrimental one by not letting you get into the ice cream in the first place. I really hope the company comes out with a redesign that addresses this issue.

We recently purchased an ice cream maker. These containers were subsequently purchased to store the ice cream in after it was made.
The containers are great: sturdy and solid. And they are insultated, allowing the ice cream to be transported at room temperature without the ice cream softening significantly. The containers have a screw-on lid that can occasionally be difficult to unscrew after sitting in a freezer for while. But the containers fulfilled our expectations.

The container is perfect for transporting frozen desserts, but my husband had to use the vise to open the container.
I find that if I run hot water around the lid, it can be opened by holding on to the "spoon" on the top.
Great idea, but not a great design.

Lid is too difficult to open
Looks nice, good size, decorative lid. I haven't used it anymore after the first time since I can't get the lid open after it's been in the freezer without a lot of difficulty. Read more

Great product.
These re-usable ice cream tubs work great overall. The only complaint I have is similar to other people - which is the lid can be difficult to un-screw. Read more

Could be great, but just too difficult to open
They very nearly have a great product here, but the lid design is terrible. There is no grip, and it's too large for small hands to properly get around it. Read more

Will do the job...
It works well, but is not perfect for my needs. I wish it had gel pack material all over and not just in the lid.
