As a mother, grandmother, and ex-Scout leader for both boys and girls, I’ve used variations of the plastic bag ice cream makers for decades and I can truly say that this activity is always a winner.

If you are going to buy an ice cream maker it’s important to understand the basic features and some of the differences between the models on the market.
Basically all ice cream makers do the same thing. They make ice cream when the recipe is churned and frozen at the same time. You prepare the recipe; pour the mixture into a container and this container is either immersed in a rock salt and water mixture or put into an ice cream maker that has its own freezing system. At this point if you have a manual machine, you turn the crank. With an electric machine you plug it in. |

Look At FeaturesDepending on the type of machine you select, the next step is to look at the features offered to you. Most hand turn models do not have any type of features as they are designed to be old world like, simple and straightforward. On the other hand, you may want to consider the various options you have with electronic ice cream makers. A variety of makes and models are available, some providing a better finished ice cream than others do. Yet, it is very important to take into consideration your budget when buying these models. More features often means more cost, but not necessarily a better ice cream. |
