Buy an Ice Cream Maker

When you hear ice cream maker be thinking sorbet, frozen yogurt and sherbet too! With a home ice cream maker you can whip up any of these tasty items in about a half hour, and make them with the exact ingredients you most enjoy.

Ice cream makers are really simple machines that churn ingredients and prepare them for freezing. The mechanism by which the ice cream maker freezes is one of the key points in your purchase. All ice cream makers use one of three methods for freezing. First is ice and salt, which get packed around the ice cream maker’s bowl These systems are fairly portable and can produce a good amount of ice cream. On the down side, salt is messy and the levels of the mix of salt and ice have to be watched throughout the freezing process.

A second mechanism that most consumers prefer are freezer bowls. These are designed with an exterior, interior, and freezing solution inbetween. The bowl goes in the freezer before making the ice cream, and then it stays at the right temperature while the ice cream churns. The average capacity on this style machine is 1-2 quarts. The system works flawlessly, but once a batch is finished you have to wait to refreeze the bowl before making any more.

The third and most expensive system is a compressor freezer. This is more of a professional unit where you do nothing more than make your mix and turn on the electricity! This maker is hefty so you want to have a fixed spot for it in your kitchen.
