Painless Way To Make Lots of Wonderful Ice Cream
By sdh537
I love this ice cream machine! It makes sufficient ice cream (6 quarts! not 1 to 1-1/2 quarts like the others) for big gatherings or sufficient to store for future consumption. It’s very simple to operate with the electric motor doing all the work and the Ice Cream is fabulous, smooth and creamy. I put it on a “rag rug” on the kitchen floor where I add the ice/salt. It’s a bit noisy, but it’s part of the fun. My only complaint is that very few recipes are included with the machine. Solution, buy a book of ice cream recipes to supplement. Some good ones are: Frozen Desserts : The Definitive Guide to Making Ice Creams, Ices, Sorbets, Gelati, and Other Frozen Delights which gives DETAILED history/information and The Ice Cream Machine Cookbook by Melissa Clark which includes galore very originative ice cream combinations.

Don’t waste your money!!!
By J. Peterson
During the spring, summer, and fall, I make ice cream a couple times a month. It has been a family tradition for a lot of years. In my youth, mom & dad made ice cream many times and Dad had a hand crank White Mountain freezer that lasted for the better part of a quarter century. I have had 2 of the newer White Mountain electric freezers in the past 3 years and 3 substitute motors. What once was a well made American product, is now a Chinese made piece of junk, cleverly dissembled as the old dependable White Mountain freezer. Two of the relacement motors stripped the gears on the second batch of cream. Stay away from this freezer until White Mountain decides it will make this high priced product of the quality it once was.

Excellent, beats all other models
By SUZANNE FINLEY KLUVER
Recently, a group my son was in had to make over 200 gallons of homeade ice cream. The group would go to local festivals and trade the ice cream to raise money. Anyway, we had when it comes to 14 six quart freezers, 4 of them being the White Mountain models. The White Mountain freezers not only froze closely 2x more immediate than the other models but the ice cream was much more firm. Also, after making all of the ice cream, a lot of of the other models were in a literal sense “burnt out” but the White Mountain machines seemed to go on and on showing no signs of wear. These freezers have in all likelihood made over 30 gallons of ice cream and still are as good as new. I would highly recommed a White Mountain machine.
