ICE CREAM IN 18 MINUTES!
By Pete Simon
I just received this ice cream maker yesterday and made a batch of french vanilla ice cream. I ordered Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Dessert book at the same time I ordered the ice cream maker and they both came the same day. I used the French vanilla recipe from their book. The recipe is only for one quart so I quadrupled it. I employed a lot more salt than the directions with the ice cream maker calls for to get the temperature down and also applied a little table salt along with shaved ice. Use sufficient salt with the ice and you ought to have no disturb getting the temperature down. The ice cream was done when the motor stopped as per the directions. It only took 18 munutes from begin to finish. The brine didn’t even run out the drain hole in the may before the ice cream was done. The ice cream was gorgeous stiff consistency right away. We ate a good deal of for a taste test and put the whole may in the deep freeze for when it comes to an hour and the stuff set up very well. The ice cream was smooth and not gritty like it may be if it takes a long time to get done. After reading numerous of the reviews before buying this maker, I had galore reservations when it comes to buying this queer model. I see now that they were unfounded. I had no difficulties with it at all. I would commend this maker to any person looking for a somewhat priced ice cream maker. Just be sure you use a great deal of salt with the ice and be sure your ingredients are good and chilled when you put them together. By the way the recipe I used is excellent.

Tips for using this ice cream maker
By Shawn
The intent of using the salt with this ice cream maker is to melt the ice as fast as you can. You will recognise that you are using sufficient ice when the condensation on the outside of the ice cream maker freezes. When the ice melts it gets real cold and freezes the ice cream. If the ice cream maker does not stop after an hour, then you are not using sufficient salt. Rock salt unquestionably works much better than table salt. Rock salt is likewise much cheaper. After each layer of ice add rock salt. Also don’t be afraid if the motor sounds like it is dying. The ice cream freezes and gets thicker and slows down the motor until it stops. When the ice cream is done it will stop. Note that it is not on a timer.
