A domestic ice cream maker is a machine used to make small quantities of ice cream for personal consumption.
Ice cream makers may prepare the mixture by employing the hand-cranking method or by employing an electric motor. The resulting preparation is often chilled through either pre-cooling the machine or by employing a machine that freezes the mixture.
An ice cream maker has to simultaneously freeze the mixture while churning it so as to aerate the mixture and avoid ice crystals.
As a result, most ice creams are ready to consume immediately.
However, those containing alcohol must often be chilled further to attain a firm consistency.
Some machines, such as certain lower-priced countertop models, require the resulting mixture to be frozen for additional time after churning is complete.
Types of electric ice cream machines
There are four types of electric ice cream machines.
Each has an electric motor that drives the bowl or the paddle to stir the mixture.
The major difference among the three is how the cooling is performed.
Counter-top machines.
These use a double-walled bowl with a solution between the walls that freezes below 32°F or 0°C.
The paddles rotate, stirring the mixture as it gradually freezes through contact with the frozen bowl.
After 20-30 minutes, the solution between the double walls thaws, and the ice cream freezes.
The machine has the advantage of being relatively inexpensive.
However, a pre-frozen bowl makes only one batch at a time.
The bowl must be refrozen to make another batch.
Multi-batches require extra bowls for the machine, which require extra freezer space.
An ice cream maker that has to be placed inside the freezer.
The paddles stir the mixture to prevent formation of large ice crystals.
When the ice cream sufficiently freezes, the paddles automatically stop rotating and lift.
The mixture takes longer to freeze than other ice cream makers since it is cooled in the freezer.
It is not necessary to pre-freeze this type of ice cream maker.
