Hello and Welcome,

Quite often question come up about Granita such as;
A) How long it takes to freeze?
B) How much it holds?
C) How much fruits in it?
D) How far from a plug can you place the machine?
etc. etc.. etc...etc…………………………………
It would help to understand how Granita machine works. The machine first has to cool the product to a freezing point before been able to make flakes and ultimately a slushy mix. The warmer the product is when you put it in the bowl the longer it takes for the process to be completed. So for instance if you start with an 80 degree liquid it will take over 2 hours to complete the process. If in the other hand you were to chill the product down to 35 degree prior to using it than would take ½ hour. The second question should not be so important since you can add as you go. Fruit content is unimportant in my view, since regardless what flavor you were to make you would always get pear pulp in it. As for the extension cord never use one because you will regret.

Have a Happy Granita , Margarita, Belini, Slush Party.!!!!!
