You should be able to do it either way.

I have done it both ways.
I also use a gannon milk jug. Cut out the top but leave the handle. Put crushed ice in the bottom and on the sides then make sure you have it covered with water.

works for me

Turtle never lasts long enough around us for us to have tried freezing it .
