Standard
-
- Batch Size: 1.5 quarts
A 1.5 quart ice cream maker is the standard size for most ice cream makers designed for home use (makes ten 1/2 cup servings of ice cream).
-
- Lid: Transparent lid
A transparent lid helps you to see your ice cream while it is mixing in the machine.
- Determine whether you ice cream is done or needs to be mixed longer by looking through the see-through lid.
- Adding Mix-Ins: Spout for adding mix-ins
Most ice cream makers have a built-in way that you can add mix-ins while the ice cream maker is churning.
- When mix-ins are added when the ice cream has thickened and is mixing, it results in a better ice cream (texture and distribution of mix-ins).
- Ice Cream Making Time: Makes ice cream in approximately 25 minutes
Cons
-

A freezer bowl can only produce one batch of ice cream at a time. The freezer bowl must be washed and refrozen before it will again be cold enough to produce another batch of ice cream.
- The freezer bowl must be frozen again before it can be used again.
- Freeze bowl Hours in Advance Freezer Bowls
You must plan ahead if you don’t store your freezer bowl in your freezer.
- If you store your freezer bowl in the freezer, you’ll use up freezer space.
- If you don’t store your freezer bowl in the freezer, you must remember to freeze the bowl before you need it.
