The ice cream machine or ice cream maker is an appliance that allows you to make a good ice cream comfortably at home and in a very simple way. Are you tired of trying extreme home methods and then not getting the ice cream you expected?
Buying an ice cream machine can be the answer to problems like these. Before proceeding with the purchase, another doubt arises: which ice cream maker best suits your needs? Here is a brief guide on how to choose a good ice cream machine below.
Let’s start by saying that, if for simple domestic use, it is better to let go of the professional ice cream makers who are certainly not for every budget and not all have the necessary space!
There are two types of ice cream machine :
- Self-cooling
- Accumulation
Ice cream machine: Self-cooling ice cream machine or with integrated compressor
The self-cooling ice cream machine is very simple to use because you just need to attach it to the current and do it all by yourself.
The advantage is that being very quick to prepare ice cream; you can make different types and tastes on the same day. It has disadvantages such as the very high price, the space it occupies, being very cumbersome and wasting energy. The price ranges from $150 to $300. Obviously, it is to be considered the best model for both times and a very stable structure.
Ice cream machine: Storage or basket ice cream machine
Consisting of two parts, the basket, and the motor, it is cheaper than the previous one and can be either manual or electric. It is a price that varies between $30 and $70.
Also, the method of use is different: the drum of the accumulation ice cream maker must be placed in the freezer for at least 12 hours before the moment of freezing the ice cream. At this point, it will have to be attached to the engine and proceed with the preparation of the ice cream.
The disadvantage of this type of ice cream maker is that you cannot make more than one taste a day given the long procedure. One of the advantages, on the other hand, besides the price, is that it is not bulky, and it is enough to keep a small space in the freezer.
If you want to make, a purchase like this, consider the size of the basket to understand, which is more suitable and capacious for your family.
Ice cream machine: Evaluations before purchase
Here are some reasons that can lead to purchase and use:
- With the possibility of making ice cream at home, you can maintain a high control of the ingredients, ideal for those who suffer from intolerances, allergies or simply want to maintain a healthy supply.
- The ice cream maker brings economic savings over the years because, for those who are very greedy and do not want to miss any opportunity to eat a good ice cream, they can very well do it at home while also saving on the cost of the ingredients.
- You can experiment with the various tastes and opt for genuine ingredients that may be taken from our small home garden.
- For the capacity of the basket, better not to go below the volume of 1 L, since it is enough for 8 people. Remember, in this case, that the basket must enter the freezer, so evaluate your spaces well.
