Ice Cream Makers Reviews
Can anyone recommend a decent ice cream maker? Not the expensive ones?
I like ice cream but don’t like the additives in commercial ones so I’m thinking of getting a home ice cream maker and so far like the look of the Cuisinart ICE bucket, and also looking at slightly cheaper Magimix and Kenwood.
There’s not much written about them, and no reviews, so wondering if anyone has used either. About all I can gather is that, apart from how wonderful home made ice cream is, you need to pre freeze the bucket, which shouldn’t be a problem.
I’m assuming I’ll be able to transfer the mix when done, into a suitable container for storing in the freezer – even if only to stop me eating the lot in one go.
I have a cuisinart and I love it! My brother-in-law got us a rival hand crank one a few years back, but I won’t part with my cuisinart. I have had it for quite some time and it hasn’t failed me yet. Freeze the insert solid, make your ice cream mix and chill. Pour the mix into the insert, put the paddle in and 20 minutes later, soft serve. You can transfer it into a covered plastic container in the freezer for a harder ice cream. ( I gave away the hand crank rival to my sister, she has to add the rock salt and her daughter doesn’t seem to mind the cranking.) BTW keep the freezer insert frozen all the time so whenever you want ice cream, it’s ready to go.
