"Want to help ensure quick freezing? Make sure your ice cream canister is completely frozen before using. Most home freezers can do this in about 24 hours, but there have been times when it has taken mine closer to 36 hours.
Shake the canister prior to use: if you hear any liquid sloshing around inside, continue freezing until completely solid — or risk slower churning times and the pitfalls that come with it."

I totally don't understand these instructions. My canister is made of aluminum and does not slosh when it's thawed or frozen. I have never seen a canister that has liquid in it and will slosh. What am I missing?
