Ice Cream Makers – types

Homemade ice cream, or maybe a small, ice cream business? Which ice cream maker will meet your expectations? Start off by getting to know the two basic types of ice cream makers.

The first type are simple machines, intended for home use. How do ice cream makers work? These are relatively cheap machines providing efficient cooling and mixing of a liquid mass, before turning it into fluffy ice cream.

They usually consist of a bowl filled with a cooling pad, which should be stored from several to a dozen or so hours in the freezer, before you can start making ice cream. Add the ice cream ingredients to the frozen bowl – it is also best to cool the ingredients beforehand, as this will speed up the whole process. The ice cream maker is equipped with a stirrer, making the mass become fluffy, airy and free of ice crystals.

Which ice cream maker is easier to use? Choose a model with a thermoelectric cooling system, letting you forget about the need to cool the bowl and even the ingredients themselves! Using such equipment is pure pleasure – just put all the ingredients into the chamber, press the button and wait for delicious, perfectly frozen ice cream.
