Ice Cream Makers

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

To kids of all ages, ice cream is pure, sweet joy on a sultry summer day. You can go to the corner store or run to meet the ice cream truck, and you can choose from all sorts of frozen novelties and concoctions, but nothing beats the delicious flavor of homemade ice cream.

Ice cream makers take simple ingredients like cream, milk, sugar and flavorings, and magically create delicious ice cream at the touch of a button. These marvelous machines can also deliver frozen beverages, sorbets, yogurt and fruit juice slush. If you or your kids are looking for a frozen tasty treat on a hot summer day, your ice cream maker can whip one up.

How can something so wonderful be so easy to use? Just follow these easy steps:

1. A storage container is found inside the ice cream maker. This is where you'll pour your ingredients.

2. The mixture is drawn into a freezing chamber that's been edged with refrigerant liners.

3. Next, electric motors attached to agitator blades of the mixer fluff up the ingredients to make them creamier.

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

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

In the past, entire families would take turns cranking the old-fashioned ice cream maker. Ingredients were mixed in a prepared metal container, which was kept cold by storing it in a mixture of ice and salt. All of the kids, mom and dad would help by turning the crank to move the paddles, or by stirring the ingredients with a wooden paddle. This took a lot of effort, but the results were so sweet. Over the years improvements were made to the ice cream making process. For example, motorized paddle agitators were fitted into metal containers. Of course, today's machines can churn out the same quality of tasty ice cream at the push of a button.

If you love ice cream on a hot, sunny day, just wait until you try your first taste of home made ice cream. There's really nothing quite like it.
