If you are thinking about making a lot of ice cream, you will want to buy an ice cream maker that uses rock salt and ice. The canister varieties will only make a maximum of 1.5 quarts at a time. This means if you want to turn your ice cream making into a nice fun family event, pick a hand-crack ice cream maker. The crank needs to be turned for a long time – nice to give each member of the family a turn at the handle! If you don’t want a manual crank, you can opt for an electric crank.  Electric cranks will give more consistent results since the ice cream will churn at a steady speed. Most electric crank models will detect when the ice cream reaches a certain consistency and shut off.

Once you buy the best ice cream maker suited to your specific needs, you will need to look at getting the perfect ice cream recipe. Keep in mind that the fast the ice cream freezes, the much more favourable the ice cream will taste and the smoother the texture of the ice cream will be. It’s always better to premix all the ice cream ingredients first, let them cool for a few hours, then place them in the ice cream maker. After you finish churning the ice cream with the machine, the ice cream will resemble the soft-serve ice cream you are used to. You can opt to put the canister in the freezer for a few hours to harder it up a bit, if you wish. If your canister is plastic, transfer it into a metal bowl and place the bowl in the freezer – metal will help your ice cream freeze faster, resulting in a better taste.

You can buy ice cream mixes easily. However, the best ice cream always comes from fresh ingredients. So opt to use milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and other natural ingredients. If you need ice cream recipes, you can find many of them online.

If you are interested in a soft serve ice cream maker, consider looking online to buy one. You can get a very good deal on one.

Some people may think that homemade ice cream is too much work because you have to manually crank the ice cream to mix it. There is also dealing with that messy rock ice and salt.

Just a warning, this machine is pretty heavy. If you are expecting something that weights as little as blender, you are going to be disappointed. The machine also makes a lot of noise. So if you hate noise and/or have problems lifting anything heavy, this soft serve ice cream maker might not be something you want to look at g getting.

If you want a fantastic set it and forget it ice cream machine that contains a compressor and requires no brainwork whatsoever, then this is the perfect ice cream maker for you.

I ordered online and it was busted when I got it. It made rattling sounds when I turned it on and didn’t get cold at all. However, I blame this on the shipping company, not the brand. I exchanged it for another and have had no problems whatsoever the past three years.

So overall, I am quite impressed with the quality of this ice cream maker. As ice cream makers go, it’s actually a pretty good deal, clocking in  around 200 bucks. I’ve seen some models that go for around $500 bucks, but I’m not convinced they can deliver anything this model can’t.  Don’t bother getting a cheapie ice cream machine, however. I paid 110 bucks for my very first one and the ice cream it produced was always subpar. Trust me on this – the quality of your ice cream maker will determine how good the ice cream tastes. So don’t waste your time on the entry level ice cream machines, it’s simply not worth it.
