## Description

The Elite Gourmet 4Qt. Old Fashioned Electric Ice Cream Maker churns out delicious homemade ice cream in just minutes. It features a 4-quart heavy duty aluminum canister and a powerful 90-rpm motor, so making ice cream is fast, convenient and fun for the whole family! It’s great for entertaining at family parties, BBQ’s and picnics using all of your favorite ice cream, sorbet, gelato and even frozen yogurt recipes. The motor turns a six-fin paddle that whips air into the ingredients producing a smooth, rich soft serve ice cream. The paddle quickly crushes cookies, fruit, chocolate chips or a variety of other yummy toppings and thoroughly integrates them into the mixture. The old-fashioned Appalachian wood bucket holds ice and rock salt, keeping the canister at the optimal 10°F temperature. All parts conveniently remove for easy cleaning.

Review: I love it even though I've had spotty success so far - Ah, Grandma's house, 4th of July, every year hamburgers, watermelon, etc. AND last but not least homemade ice cream. She had a ready workforce of kids excited about making (and eating) homemade ice cream. Rock salt, a few bags of ice, and about 40 min. or so of boredom, I think it was 3" of ice and then a scoop of rock salt. Over and over, finally, when the motor stops and you can smell those motor windings burning, that cool retro humming sound, it's time to unplug it. "Oh boy, can we have some now Grandma?" "Oh no, you've got to put it in the freezer to ripen." "How long does that take Grandma?" "Well best to let it freeze overnight, but at least an hour or two." Of course we always badgered her and she caved after an hour, still pretty "soft-serve" like, but we didn't care, we wanted it now! now! now!!! This trip down memory lane was to make clear to those not fortunate enough to have had the experience, or just don't remember as well, even the good ol' machines didn't pop out ice cream on demand. It always has "soft-serve" consistency right from the machine. I've had a couple of the old machines thru the years, always the same. But I think personally I like this cheap, plastic thing better. Much less mess, cost (ice isn't cheap) and hassle. It is a new learning experience. 1st batch, I forgot to buy evaporated milk, it was pure half & half and some vanilla. It was ok, consistency was off because I churned it too long, all pumped with air. 2nd batch was perfect, it was great, just like the good ol' days. Made with heavy whipping cream, evap. milk, vanilla, right out of the recipe book. 15 min. churn time was the magic, perfect. Now making my 3rd batch and I had problems. Being a bit more cost conscious than back then, I saved my evap. milk in the fridge for a few days. It and the whipping cream were very cold and that evap. milk is extremely viscous, I had to scrap it out of the container with a spoon. And that was a problem. It was too thick for the motor. Seen that video on these reviews of the dasher going back & forth rather than round and round? It's the motor protecting itself from a jam. I think pound for pound this tiny motor is more macho than the old electro-shock models, although I must grant they had a tougher job, as they turned the 1 gallon canister around in the ice jacket, while the dasher was held rigid. But anyway, this motor is fine, it's obviously heavily geared down, it barely even gets warm. But everything has limits. So I scraped out as much of the mix as I could back into my Pyrex measuring cup, nuked it for about a minute in the microwave and it began turning the dasher properly. But I don't know if we're going to overcome all the time spent fooling with it and loss of coldness. I'm ok with having a few learning trials with a new machine though, and I'm confident it's a winner in the end. Which brings up another point. I see many people worried about having everything as cold as possible. The freezer container has plenty of retained cold in normal use, and last successful time I used room temperature evap. milk, which I'll do in the future as well. MY errors notwithstanding, I can't find much to fault with this machine. The cheap plastic tabs for the motor concern me, but we'll see. Not fond of the retro turquoise, hey guys, back then everything was white, fridges, stoves, everything, what's wrong with white? It seems to be a generic recipe book that it comes with, but it's just for getting started anyway, you'll find the magic recipe you like eventually. Personally, I like any flavor, as long as it's vanilla. I do kinda miss that shocking dose of rock salt that always leaked inside though, guess I can just put my salt grinder on coarse and add a little. So cons, barely worth mentioning. Buy it, you'll like it, just be prepared to mess up a few times before you get it right.
Review: A really good pint ice cream maker. - This is a really good and expensive personal ice cream maker. I made vegan vanilla Frozen Custard and it came out really well when I did about a half a pint for the run the first time. I will suggest a larger bowl ice and rock salt to set it in after you've frozen the bowl overnight to keep it really really cold so you can do a whole pint and it come out the consistency you want. It does make it like it's supposed to be not completely Frozen but almost so that you can put it in a container and just let it freeze for a little bit if you want it to be a little bit harder than fresh out of the machine. But it came out perfect it was really good delicious it mixed well. If all you need is a personal ice cream machine to make a half pint or a pine at a time this is the one for you. The performance of it was wonderful and it's easy to use.
