goal:: Create reusable, food-safe, and space-efficient system for storing dense [[fast prolonging smoothies]] pulp by freezing in modular, portion-controlled PVC molds. requirements:: The system should enable easy dispensing into standard glass bottles, minimize cleanup, and ensure long-term safety through the use of pressure-rated, NSF-certified materials. #### Buy - 1-1/4" hardwood dowel - 1/1/4" PVC pipe: schedule 40(ASTM D1785), pressure rated, `NOT` DWV - NSF-61 or NSF-PW, safe for potable water / food contact - Smooth interior – for easy “push pop” action - White or clear PVC – avoid gray electrical conduit #### Safety - Chemical leaching from plastics increases with heat, especially near boiling. Freezing reduces leaching risk to almost nothing - bending is also an issue that causes plastics to not be food safe #### Done - [album](https://photos.app.goo.gl/zpZDfqskezjgotuK9) ![[Pasted image 20250421085503.png\|300]]
