Differences in Home Ice Cream Makers

By Keri M.

Ice cream makers vary pretty widely as to just how much work is involved with using them. With many machines, you have to freeze a part of the machine. You have to mix your ingredients together in a separate bowl, usually using an electric mixer or a stand mixer. Then you have to reassemble your machine, add the already mixed ingredients and turn a crank to keep the ingredients moving as they freeze. After that you have to take the machine apart again and wash all of the part along with the bowl and mixer. The whole process can take two and a half hours or more for a single batch.

Other machines are electric and therefore are a little less work to use. You do still have to freeze part of the machine and mix up your ingredients separately. The advantage with these machines is that you don't have to turn a crank to keep the ingredients moving while they're freezing. These machines have a small motor that does the churning for you. You just press a button to get it started and then come back a few minutes later to enjoy your fresh dessert. Clean up is about the same with this type of machine. You still have to take it apart and wash all of the parts along with anything else you used to mix the ingredients. This process also take about two and a half hours per batch.

Another type of machine, which is the least work to use and and fastest, not only churns the ice cream for you but it also mixes the ingredients and does all of the freezing. With this kind of machine, you don't have to take it apart and freeze part of it as it gets cold all by itself. You just put in your ingredients, hit a button and the mixing will begin. Once the mixing is complete, it will automatically start getting cold and churning. This kind of machine can produce a batch of ice cream in about twenty minutes. Clean up after is much faster because there is only the machine itself to clean and not any extra bowls or mixers.

If all of this talk of ice cream is making your mouth water and you're interesting in learning more about the machines, check out the Lello 4080 Musso Lussino 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker.
