Second Hand Ice Cream Machines


ReviewFor a century and a half, since a woman in New York formulated the hand-crank freezer, making ice cream has been an American family value. Mom blended the ice cream mixture; Dad filled the maker’s wooden tub with ice and rock salt to achieve the below-freezing temperature necessitated to manufacture smooth confections; kids clamored to turn the crank; and everyone happily consumed huge bowls of ice cream as a reward. This family-bonding action remains as vibrant today as it was through a century-and-a-half of “progress.” With respective ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet recipes included, this old-fashioned White Mountain ice cream maker maintains the tradition. Only the use of modern stainless steel for the freezer may and dasher distinguishes this rugged maker from the one earlier generations enjoyed. And years from now it will still be used, knitting together a family’s history. –Fred Brack

The White Mountain Experience

 

The White Mountain Experience started in the 1850s.
Founded in 1853, we’ve always been regarding making good times occur right at home with ice cream you make yourself. The experience starts with the discussion–often the kids get their pick–of what flavor ice cream your family wants to make. Vanilla with bittersweet chocolate chips or perchance peach made with orchard fresh peaches. Every delicious choice is fixed only by your imagination. Just set up your White Mountain ice cream maker with ice and rock salt, and let the fun begin. Whether you’re cooling off a hot summer picnic or warming up a homebound winter weekend, the experience is one you can’t put a price on.

Our mystery is the triple-motion dasher.
At the heart of the White Mountain ice cream maker is a in an unambiguous manner designed, twin-blade “dasher.” The outer canister turns clockwise and the blades turn both clockwise and counter clockwise. That triple-motion action without disturbance folds the ingredient mixture from the outer walls back onto itself creating the smoothest and creamiest down-home ice cream ever made.

1High price, low quality
By nogo
Don’t let the high price on this ice cream freezer fool you into thinking you’re getting something that’s high quality. We ordered one in late November, anticipating a large total of fun “cranking” together at family get-togethers over the holidays. The “trial run” in early December went fine. But the second time we got the freezer out of the box — on Christmas evening — we saw that metal filings had shifted out of the crank mechanism. Then, as we attempted to make just our second batch of ice cream, the crank handle broke. (The crank mechanism seems to be poorly made, which overly stresses the crank handle.) Not what we expected from a $159 ice cream freezer.

1Lots of fun, but poorly made
By C. Kane
If you are looking for an old fashioned hand crack ice cream maker that uses salt and ice – this is the only choice I have been capable to find. Unfortunately, I was only capable to make ice cream regarding 5 times before I noticed the gears were stripping. I then took a closer look at the hand crank scheme – and it is made very cheaply. Additionally, even though I have been diligent regarding rinsing out the bucket when I am done, it is still rusting on the inside. This is presumedly from the salt water necessitated to freeze the ice cream. Still, since I very much like hand cranking, I am now looking for a substitute piece for the hand crank scheme and hoping it will last more than a season.
The good news is that you may still buy an old fashioned ice cream maker. The bad news is that no one has come out with one that is made to last.
My suggestion is to look at garage sales for one built years ago – when they were built to last generations. If you don’t find one, then this will do.
