Ice Cream Makers

By: Garnett Foards

If you love ice cream and have never made it at home, you're in for a real treat.

Few things can touch the pure, sweet joy that ice cream brings to little kids (and big kids) on a hot summer afternoon. There are countless ice cream novelties and frozen concoctions available to buy, but nothing beats the flavor of real homemade ice cream.

Homemade ice cream begins with basic household ingredients. Sugar, cream, milk and flavorings like vanilla, strawberries or cocoa is all you need. At the touch of a button, your homemade ice cream machine will turn these ingredients into something truly marvelous. It can also be used to make sorbet, frozen yogurt, slush and frozen beverages. It's so easy to use, that you and the kids can make homemade ice cream whenever you feel like a sweet treat.

It's incredible to think that a machine that brings such sweet joy can really be so simple:

1. Inside the ice cream maker, seated in its belly, are storage containers. You will pour your blended ingredients into this storage container.

2. The mixture is then drawn into the freezing chamber that is edged with refrigerant liners.

3. The mixture is blended and fluffed with by agitator blades that are powered by an electric motor.

4. The ice cream sets in the refrigerated chamber and begins to firm up.

5. At serving time, just raise the handle on the dispenser unit, and the ice cream falls into your bowl.

Years ago, families gathered together to take turns making ice cream. The ingredients were mixed in a prepared metal container that was stored in a mixture of salt and ice. Mother and the children then took turns stirring the ingredients with a wooden paddle, or turning a crank connected to mixing paddles. It was extremely tiring work, but with sweet results. Years later, the metal container would be fit with a motorized paddle agitator. Today, of course, ice cream makers require almost no effort at all, to be able to create the same delicious homemade flavor.

Any one who has children, grandchildren, or a sweet tooth can create delicious treats any time with a home made ice cream machine.
