We’ve Come a Long Way
by staffblogger
We’ve come a long way with making home made ice cream and aren’t you glad. No longer do you have to have someone sit on the ice cream maker while you turn the crank endless numbers of times and keep replenishing the ice and rock salt. Now you can simple put all the ingredients inside, plug the machine in and walk away until it’s done.
The loudness of the machines are the only drawback to the joy that awaits when you’re able to pull out that thick, rich, sweet and cold ice cream. Ice cream makers are a fun summer appliance that you may not use all year round but can surely get your monies worth in the hot days of summer. They come in a variety of sizes and even have multiple functions these days.
Plus, there are tons and tons of recipes out there from traditional home made vanilla ice cream to sorbets and sherbets, so many you’re sure to find one everyone will love. So, go find your ice cream freezer and crank her, I mean plug her up!

I actually made ice cream this week for the very first time and ate far too much of it !! I found a recipe which said you didn’t need an ice cream maker and you didn’t need to keep whisking it as you froze it, which was true, it made the most delicious creamy ice cream, so I’m afraid this is one gadget I won’t be needing

Ooh I’ve been thinking about getting one of these - you just convinced me. Little man and I will enjoy making the ice cream together - and eating it!

@Darina: How cool. Do share the recipe
@CaraM: I think we’ll be getting this type too. A few years ago, we got the one that didn’t need rock salt. The bowl is thick and has some kinda gel in it. You freeze the bowl for 24 hours, dump your mixes in it and let the machine churn. It makes ice cream alright but I don’t think it does very well so don’t get those.
