Ice cream maker: reviews, instructions, purchase and operation issues

Forgot to ask ... At what temperature do you keep the ice cream maker? And what temperature does the bag hold. Probably not less than minus 5? And what apparatus do you have?

Sorry, I didn't see the questions. I have the ice cream maker cheap simple Travolka (I bought it even before settling on this site, so I took it on the principle of cheaper) but I'm happy with it. In the freezer I tried to take a measurement, but the thermometer probably only for cooking reached -23.8 and the electronics can be seen frozen. went out and no further. Now the most interesting is how many degrees there are, this is in a strange Stinol, And the bag, but fig knows how much it holds, I just read that some cover it with a towel probably to keep the cold. that's why I wrote what I use. It was hot in my kitchen in the summer, so I decided to shove it into my bag, it’s the easiest thing to eat, I don’t even put an extra block there, although if necessary, you can put it in, if not one portion at once. I turn it on for 20 minutes, during this time, a dense soft ice cream is obtained, if there are no eaters nearby, then into the tray and into the freezer.

what brand?

also rushed suddenly looked new, I think Ariete, there are no others. She has been there for half a month for the promotion, I looked after her, but then I read about 2 cups and changed my mind

[sola19]

sola19, Vladikana, please tell me, are you satisfied with the result in the ice cream maker? What is the density of ice cream? Here, too, I look in the direction of this machine ...

Good day! Please tell me which devices are more reliable: with the upper or lower mounting of the mixer.
Thank you in advance!

[Elena]

Elena, my opinion is that it is more reliable with the top mount. Since there is no additional unit for the agitator drive. This knot may begin to leak over time. Here, a lot will depend on the manufacturer, how much he saved on this node. But I could be wrong.

[Anchic]

Anchic, Thank you!
also lean towards the top mount option.
There were reviews about a leak at the bottom mount, but there are no breakdowns of the top one yet.

I didn’t find Brand anymore, so now I have such a miracle ... the principle of operation is like Brand 12, and in general everything is the same ...
Yes, his bucket is 1.5 liters, I fill in 1.3 and 1.4, it happened, nothing spills out and does not spill out ... pah-pah-pah ...

So it's a miracle GASTRORAG ICM-1518 ICE CREAM FREEZER !!! A company that produces equipment for restaurants. Straight double UNOLD! And at a price of 12tr))) Nice.

this is a miracle ICE CREAM FREEZER GASTRORAG ICM-1518

I bought it! I had experience of using UNOLD DE LUXE and I can say that these devices are twin brothers from the same conveyor.

[Antonina]

Antonina, Congratulations! Let it serve for a long time!

Girls, please help!
Damn pulled me I bought this "miracle" at the next order in the well-known German store:




I bought it, but I don't know what to do with it (((
Please poke your nose into the time-tested ice cream recipes:

1. A good dense filling (as in Soviet times).
2. Any recipe like "Rum Raisins" in Baskin Robins

3. Since the device was bought specifically for a grown-up daughter, advise a recipe for a company of young girls with a liqueur (such as Baileys) and a biscuit (it is possible without it).

4. I'm starting to get impudent, but my husband loves all ice creams like sherbet. And in my freezer since summer there are trays with chopped berries with sugar.Something like that no one eats them (((Can they somehow be turned into something similar to Sherbet from "Ice Fili"?

By the device itself. Model Unold 48870. Of course I haven’t tried it yet (all hope is on you), but the store has several ice cream makers of this manufacturer. On the German Amazon, like those other models are praised. A few posts above showed another similar product of a more rectangular shape. I chose this model because of the form factor - it takes up less horizontal space. More compact. Almost a cube. Vertically, this ice cream maker is 5-7 cm higher, but for me it is no longer so important. The model, they write that it is new, did not find any information except pictures, there are practically no reviews, I bought it at my own peril and risk ... We will try.

Excuse me, can I link to the store? Thanks a lot in advance

you can link to the store

Elmira, this store is called ComputerUniverse - 🔗

Galina, thank you very much. I went to study. This is how Brand wanted, but perhaps it will work)

[Elmira]

Elmira, can you buy a brand now?

I'm with you!!!!! I bought it with a 2 liter freezer - we have it in China under the DAVO brand - went to recipes

[Ella]

Ella, Congratulations on your purchase. The result is very interesting (Chinese is still cheaper

Also not cheap - bought from us in Israel, but cheaper than Italian



Thanks, I hope to try it this weekend

[theoretical]

I decided to buy a semi-automatic (without compressor) ice cream maker. During the selection process, the following were formed theoretical views and criteria that I decided to pay attention to:

1. Bowl volume
The more eaters, the more capacious the bowl, but the longer the freezing process and the softer the mass at the exit.
2. Time for preparing.
As I understand it, the time is usually indicated during which the motor can continuously work. That is, the larger it is, the better the mass is frozen at the end of the process.
3. Ratio: bowl volume / cooking time.
The smaller the volume of the bowl and the longer the cooking time, the better the outlet is frozen again.
4. Power
The higher the power, the faster the whisk rotates, and as a result, the finer the ice crystals, the softer the texture, and the better the mass is frozen at the end of the process.

Or more:
5.Ratio: power / bowl volume
The higher the power, the more mass can be mixed qualitatively.

Is this the case in practice? Or not quite, and in any case, you have to bring the ice cream to condition in the freezer, even if you want the consistency of soft ice cream cones at McDonald's or Burger King?

Thank you.

2. Power
The higher the power, the faster the whisk rotates, and as a result, there are fewer ice crystals, and the better the mass is frozen at the end of the process.

Power is important, but speed is not the main thing, it is not necessary that the rim rotates quickly, the main thing is evenly, and so that it can rotate the solidified mass.

3. Cooking time.
As I understand it, usually the time during which the motor can run continuously is indicated. That is, the larger it is, the better the mass is frozen at the end of the process.

The cooking time depends on the freezing temperature of the bowl, the lower it is, the faster the ice cream will cook. As the mass gets thicker, it becomes more difficult for the motor to turn it. Therefore, it is important that it turns off in time.
The ice cream turns out to be soft, like in McDonald's, it also depends on the recipe. We just love this soft, then we put it in the refrigerator for storage

sola19, Vladikana, please tell me, are you satisfied with the result in the ice cream maker? What is the density of ice cream? Here, too, I look in the direction of this machine ...

I'll add a little about ice cream makers. I have Unold. Freezer, bought at Compunevers. Yes, they are basically all the same. Shovel, motor, and cold. The point is that freezer ice cream will be soft anyway. I do it until the motor stops. I've been watching for the last 5 minutes. It also depends on the mixture. Who does what.In order of priority from worst to best, first on starch, then there are equal amounts of gelatin and gum. Here in the mood. With gum. it is more pulling, the feeling is special. More familiar with gelatin. Unfortunately I have tried xanthan gum and guar gum. But I have not yet found the carob tree in a small package. A 25 kg bag is too much. 1 gram per liter. Here I am and my neighbor opposite, we love straight from the freezer. It will be something like this. We take solid from the store for 48 and shred it with a spoon in a bowl and mix. The spoon is up, it pulls after it. This is exactly what will be from a household freezer. And her daughter loves solid. For 40 minutes or an hour in the freezer. But I personally do not like ice cream that is seasoned in our refrigerators. Maybe I just don't have noufrost, but in a day, it's not the same. I do and eat in a short time. Perhaps there is a slightly different technology in production that we simply cannot reproduce. There, a machine breaks down the fat particles into dust. That is, it is even more homogeneous than our homemade one.
By the way, lately I just got hooked on ice cream in the shape of a small stick with a stick. It is great. Teskomovskiye molds, they are very small, it turns out not to eat it, but to lick it, lick it, etc. And you won't eat a lot, otherwise I won't fit into half of my clothes and I don't have to do anything with whipping and stirring. I am preparing the simplest mixture, and necessarily fruit and 6 pieces are certainly not enough for 1 sitting. Otherwise, I can definitely eat half of a liter bucket, and even with jam and chocolate.
I advise you to just try all kinds of mixtures. And starch and gelatin and gum. Find a loved one for yourself. And the cars are all the same. I started out with a regular frozen bucket with a motor on top. The car is just more convenient. Do not freeze the buckets.

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, Thank you so much.

Looking closely at the most affordable for purchase Scarlett SC-IM22255

Power: 10W
Bowl volume: 700 ml
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Bowl temperature (within 2 hours): -10 ° to 0 ° C

Confused by the cooking time - too little, it seems to me. Or is it normal for such a volume?

P.S. I downloaded it from the office. site instruction manual, it says that the maximum operating time is 40 minutes. One button control - on / off. There is no timer, it turns out.
And 20 minutes is the time for preparing 350 ml, and the maximum volume of ice cream that can be obtained is approximately 700 ml.
Perhaps I'll buy it.

[Ochkarito]

Ochkarito, Not enough, the bucket freezes for a day and necessarily -18 at least, it takes about 40-45 minutes on gelatin, and sometimes 50 minutes. This is despite the fact that you will definitely follow the rules for working with gelatin and give it 12 hours for gelling. This is exactly what the technologists did in the distant USSR. I know for sure that very many do not observe this rule, but simply cool for half an hour, an hour and immediately go into the bowl. And the difference is. No, you need a bucket for 900. Because 700 is full, but for ice cream you need to leave at least 150 ml. Better than 200 of the maximum bowl. It still rises. You get to do 500 maximum. 350 is not worth the trouble.
Yes, why am I talking about cooling and gelling. The mixture will then thicken faster. Gelatin gelatin will give its own. Even if you don't freeze it, it will definitely not flow.
If I find mine, I will show it, I might like it. It looks very nice, you can put shampoo in it too.
Yes, and I forgot. The aged gelatinous mixture should not flow. That is, on the edge. Dumps out in mass. This is exactly the right amount of gelatin for non-freezers. To flow, beat with a mixer, or stir actively, let it warm up slightly with air, as it flows immediately into the bowl. That's exactly 100% will turn out. As a last resort, slightly freeze it in the freezer. But it's best to cool the bowl very well.

Yes, it is imperative to cool the bowl for at least a day at a temperature of minus 18 and below. I now have a bowl in the refrigerator at my Clatronic dacha, at home I have a Nemox freezer, I haven't made ice cream in this weather yet))
But I'm without gelatin, sometimes with cornstarch, sometimes with eggs. The simplest recipe is cream and condensed milk.
You can choose an ice cream maker and read reviews on the icecream club

Girls, here I came across an ice cream maker, sold at a discount for 700r. The volume of the bowl is 0.6 l, respectively, you can make 400 ml of ice cream. Cooks 15 minutes. Before that, min. Refrigerate for 8 hours. And if I want to make 800g of ice cream, then after the first batch I have to cool the bowl again, or I can make two batches in a row.

[anuta-k2002]

anuta-k2002, I have a 1.1 l ice cream maker.
I pour 600 ml of the mixture, otherwise, when whipping, it crawls out of the bowl, and what has come out does not freeze.
Are you getting the proportion?
I have Ariete an ice cream maker, after the first load, for the second time, nothing good will come of it.

Is it possible to make ice cream in advance and put it in the freezer for storage? Or does such homemade ice cream spoil when stored in the freezer?

[Anya]

Anya, sure you may. That's what I do. I make more ice cream (I have a compressor ice cream, a bucket for 1.5 liters) and in the freezer in portions in small cups. And we eat for a while, whenever we want. Now I got used to ice cream from the freezer for 30 seconds into the microwave at full power. It melts a drop, it becomes a little softer and tastier to eat.

[Taya]

Taya, my LL-1450 is cumulative. My usual 1100 ml of a mixture broken down into two parts when kneading in a row one after another is quite obtained. The first part in 10-12 minutes, the second about 20.
Cool the prepared mixture before kneading in an ice cream maker with a whole saucepan in the freezer about two hours. A couple of times during these two hours I stir with a spoon, first of all at the bottom and walls.

Now I got used to ice cream from the freezer for 30 seconds into the microwave at full power. It melts a drop, it becomes a little softer and tastier to eat.

I also do this, because my freezer freezes strongly, and it becomes oak there. Well, or if I remember, then I just get it for 20-30 minutes in advance

I throw the finished ice cream into the freezer in "paper" milk bags. Then I take out and cut off the right amount right with a piece of the bag. The view is quite decent, a part of the cut bag can be easily separated after half a minute

Good afternoon everyone. Who can say anything positive / negative (except for the price of course) about the Unold Professional 2L ice cream maker? Here are its characteristics
I want to buy for the dacha.
Thank you.

Good day. I'm also interested in this ice cream maker. Please respond someone.

Hello.
Suddenly someone will tell you)
There is a Kenwood food processor. I'm thinking of buying an ice cream attachment for it. Or is it better to choose something independent for this money? Maybe somewhere there was such a question already, I haven't found it yet, I'm reading.

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochka, I made a choice in favor of a freezer.
They are, of course, on average more expensive than regular ice cream makers, which must be kept in the freezer, but for me they are much more convenient.

[Olga]

Olgawhat? Tell me where to see, please, a discussion about them. Or should I read this?

We have whole branch with different ice cream makers.
And I have Unold. Like this.
I bought it at KU - it's really cheaper than taking it from us. I then filled the full parcel with all sorts of necessities, and the delivery turned out to be completely non-delivery against the general background.
Good luck!

[Olga]

In the branch it is not clear who is just an ice cream maker and who is a freezer
Unold at KU is not available, they write.
Olga, thanks for your feedback, I'll go read

I myself answer, but already for the Unold Profi Plus 48880 2.5L ice cream maker. I have not found anywhere on the sites the answer to my question whether this ice cream maker can cook: icecream, sorbet, gelato, frozen yogurt. Having called the factory, I received an answer that this car does not have a button: sorbet, gelato, etc., but you can manually select the speed and temperature yourself. It seemed to me that it was not very convenient, so I refused to buy this particular model. Although there is a plus - a 2.5 liter tank.
avpodkopaev, please tell me, did you manage to learn something about the Unold Professional 2L model? On the German Amazon, the reviews about her are slightly above average.

It seems to have made a choice. But still. Where do we have a comparison between Brand and Unolod? Did not find...
Brand liked 13, but none.
Now I am thinking which is better - Unold German, but with a distant guarantee. Or 12 Brand with close guarantee

Both techniques are quite reliable, so I would choose by function and by ... liking.

I don't need yoghurt in Brand. You only need ice cream from both units)
More soul lies to Unold, there you can also order a waffle iron
And as for the price, it is almost the same with delivery. Now with such a course the difference is a couple of thousand in total.

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochka, did you want there to be buttons for other types of freezing?
Do both have?
It seemed to me that you are still leaning towards the unold, but you are striving, did you guess?
I ordered it at KU, everything went fine, I use it and I am happy.
So don't look at the warranty, time and stuff. Just look at the functionality and what your heart is in.
Incidentally, in the same place you can see KU and Brandt
And the point is not what functions are superfluous there, but whether there are those you need there.
Good luck!

You can also watch their ice cream maker in the subway, cheap and cheerful, right now there is a sale of equipment and then there will be a media market instead of meter departments with equipment.

did you want there to be buttons for other types of freezing?

I just have ice cream. No frost needed)
My husband confidently immediately said that the site was reliable, so I believe the site, but there were precedents, they wrote in the topic when I had to send the marriage back. That strained me a little. True, it was a long time ago and several in a row, as if the party was like that.
I didn't find it in the Metro. Writes that there are no products with this name.
Brand on KU ... I'll see)
In general, I will soon be with an ice cream

can this ice cream maker make frozen yogurt

And I unknowingly believed that frozen yogurt in any ice cream maker can be made, no?

Do you need an ice cream maker with the function of making frozen yogurt?

Innochka, you're right, you can make any ice cream in any ice cream maker))). I freeze everything in my own: yogurt, cottage cheese, juices with fruits and just fruit puree. Well, ice cream and creme brulee, where can we go without them))). I have Brand 13

There is a model Ariette ice cream maker that makes both yoghurt and ice cream. Maybe this is needed?

I didn't find it in the Metro. Writes that there are no products with this name.

On the site I rarely met an ice cream maker, but in real life I saw it more than once.

avpodkopaev, please tell me, did you manage to learn something about the Unold Professional 2L model? On the German Amazon, the reviews about her are slightly above average.

LenaElena, no, we didn't manage to find out anything special about her. I just stupidly bought it on ebay. I already received a parcel with an ice cream maker, but there was no time to test it yet.

avpodkopaev, I will be very grateful to you if you write, after you test the ice cream maker, does it cook in different modes: gelato, sorbet, ice cream, frozen yogurt and are you satisfied with this ice cream maker? Thank you and good recipes!

made frozen juice

Good day everyone! For many years I was ripe to buy an ice cream maker, and finally decided. I made ice cream before using a conventional blender or food processor. But I was so tired of these "dances with tambourines" around the manufacturing process, with the eternal lack of space in the freezer to boot, that I ordered Unold Pro Plus 2.5L. I made several versions of the ice cream. What I want to say about this unit: with dimensions (W x D x H): 27.2 x 31.5 x 39.9 cm and a weight of 14.6 kg, this machine looks quite elegant. But, she needs to immediately allocate a permanent place, since she will not want to carry such a thing all the time. I chose between "Germans" and "Italians", but the first ones won me over with their brevity and volume of the bowl, as opposed to 2x. one-year warranty for similar Italian units. The machine is very quiet. The output is 2L. ice cream. It has three programs: standard (freeze + stir), freeze only, stir only. Any mixture can be made on the standard program.The unit allows you to pause at any stage of work and open the lid for additional manipulations (add, subtract, taste the mixture, etc.). On the main program, the unit turns the mixture from 30 to 40 minutes, then there is simply a freezing process. The program itself is designed for an hour, plus another two hours of just freezing, if necessary. So far I haven’t had the patience to test it for all three hours, but I will definitely do it and write about the result. The output is soft ice cream, which can actually be formed into a ball with a spoon. As many people here write - the mixture is stronger at the edges, softer closer to the middle. After further freezing in the refrigerator, you get a standard store version, only the taste depends on the mixture you have prepared. The husband, who found all the gostov ice creams of the USSR, said that his childhood dream had finally come true "so that the ice cream would never end in the refrigerator." I took the recipes in the book "Baking according to GOST" by Irina Chadeeva. Now I want to try the developments of the members of the forum Breadmaker. Thank you for sharing your experience!
