<p>[QUOTE="JTR, post: 2348418, member: 2254"]Hello [USER=5515]@MrNate[/USER] and thank you so much for your great response! I just tested the method you had suggested and am pleased with the results. The mug was room temp (about 75 degrees F) and I placed an ice cube on the base as directed. The mug became very cold, very quick. Infact the mug had condensation about half way down it in less than 2 minutes. I will say though, I only have oversized ice cube trays so it makes cubes 1-3/4" square. So the cube was touching more surface area than a typical sized ice cube would. I am going to purchase a regular tray first chance I get. I tried the same method with a stainless pan and the cube melted much slower in the pan.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as rotation, it took about a minute to start spinning clockwise. There are pretty significant dents on the bottom of the mug so maybe it was hung up at first? After about 3 minutes the melting slowed down and the mug was very cold - top to bottom. The handle was as well but not nearly as cold as the rest of the mug. That about sums up my results. I wish there was an option for a video clip but I don't see it here. Thanks again for your time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
