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

Yesterday I made Apricots with Cream ice cream according to Chadeyka's recipe, today I tasted it, very tasty
Recipe

100g dried apricots
170g sugar (originally it was 270, but it's too sweet!)
200g cream 10%
OK. 200g water + 50g for starch
10g potato starch

Pour dried apricots with water (about 0.5l) and boil until soft.
Strain, save the broth.
Process dried apricots with a blender or wipe through a sieve, weigh them (you should get about 250g).
Add the remaining broth with water to 330g, add sugar and boil the syrup. Dissolve the starch in 50 g of water and pour into the boiled syrup. When the mixture thickens, remove from heat.
Add dried apricot puree, cream and stir.
Cover the finished mixture with a film so that it lies on the surface of the jelly, cool and refrigerate.
Strain the mixture, pour into an ice cream maker and freeze for 40 minutes.
Transfer soft ice cream to a container and freeze.

Only I did it on corn starch, out of habit.
I boiled dried apricots for 10 minutes until soft, and boiled it was 150 grams, I added the broth to 250 grams and blended, it turned out to be very tasty puree, like fresh apricots, and did not filter anything.

polliaravailable products and should be delicious, thank you

[Miranda]

Miranda, thanks for the Metro ice cream tip. Liked.
But I seem to have bought the wrong thing. Also blackcurrant sorbet. Price 270 rubles 1500 g.

[optimist]

optimistthen! We changed the label and the name for our line (like Ashanovsky For every day, but made by different manufacturers). The main thing is that the manufacturer is the same - Yekaterinburg Refrigeration Plant No. 3. But on the site the label is new, and the description is old, only the price is different

Tomorrow I'm just going to the Metro, I have accumulated wishes for the fact that only they have, + etc. p. coupon 15%. And I was also going to buy currant

accumulated wishes for the fact that only they

Can be more!?

[optimist]

optimist, or rather, not only with them, but with them in one place. These are various oils, sauces, additives. Otherwise, buy them in 3-4 stores.

I also ran out of their bags - they are very comfortable in size, and decent looking, without a huge name. Leroy or Ikea or Auchan have similar bags - the wrong size (Leroy are narrow and tall, Auchan are just small), but the brand is too striking. I use them as an opportunity to send them to Kiev.

However, the last time I was a long time ago. Almost a year ago.

But I seem to have bought the wrong thing. Also blackcurrant sorbet. Price 270 rubles 1500 g.

Was today (already yesterday). Price 368. Were with old labels and new ones, I took with a new one. And I don’t know if I bought it for a long time and my memory fails, or something else. But all the family members said that something was wrong. Not so intense or something. It was not possible to get big explanations. But I myself cannot explain.

some wrong taste.

The fat content may have changed
There is such an ice cream that you eat and do not gorge on, it seems like empty or something.

[Miranda]

Miranda, if you remember that ice cream that I wrote before, then there is no sherbet. I don’t like sherbets at all. Sherbets are "by definition" empty, frozen juices, without cream, for which I don’t like them, for their "empty" taste.

Price 368

Probably I was mistaken in the price of 100 rubles. 270-370 ... The check can no longer be found.

I'm with you!
The first experience is relatively successful. Apricot turned out to be the most delicious. Strawberry-yoghurt and coffee on the sidelines.

It is necessary to study mat. part

[Miranda]

I'm with you!

Hurrah! Miranda, are you keeping the intrigue? Or are we waiting for a review?

Beautiful ice cream

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenkimaybe an overview ...
Didn't think about intrigue, but now let it be, yeah

[Miranda]

Miranda, I bought Nemox gelato three years ago. No dancing with tambourines. Only 40 minutes and a full bucket of any ice cream. there are a lot of recipes, even on their website. The most important thing is to buy good cream, METRO has a good selection. Recently, at an intersection, I bought two passionfruit (passionflower), which is enough for 4 buckets of delicious ice cream. For one bucket you need half a passionfruit (rub the contents through a sieve), then add the chopped 1 banana and whip a little mashed potatoes with a blender, add 120g (as you like) sugar, add 33% cream - 250g and milk - 250g, whip all together and that's it. For all three minutes, press the button, wait 5 minutes, turn on the lid with the blades and you can fill in the prepared liquid and forget for 35 minutes and wait for a click - after which the blades start spinning in the opposite direction (this means that the ice cream is ready) turn off the blades and you can eat, there is a lot of it, the leftovers can be in a container and in the freezer for up to two weeks. Passion fruit with banana is delicious, and the smell! Also very tasty ice cream made from ice cream strawberries with cream, etc. It is not even close to compare with the store. The main thing here is tasty and fast cooking.

[Miranda]

Miranda, Hurrah! We wait!

[Miranda]

Miranda, congratulations on your purchase! In terms of materiel, Chadeyka has a very well-written list of what ingredient and what action is needed for what. I don’t know in LJ, but it’s in the book.

[Miranda]

Miranda, in the photo, the ice cream looks like an ice cream maker prepared in a nozzle, which needs to be frozen in the refrigerator for several hours in advance, the structure of the ice cream in them is slightly different than in the freezer. But photographs can distort reality due to the location of the lighting and the angle and distance of the perspective of photographing the subject, and then I may be wrong.
An ice cream maker or an electric ice cream maker with a compressor, congratulations on your purchase anyway! Now the main thing is to collect more recipes and good cream. Still, milk, yogurt, water and fruit taste more like sorbetto. And this is not for everybody. In the book I have Italian recipes, since the compressor is made in Italy. There are a lot of them on YouTube too.
Well, what about an ice cream maker for Shrovetide!

[Sofita]

SofitaMiranda doesn't have Kitchen, she has Kenwood. And as far as I remember, she didn't want Kenwood's attachment. Only compressor ice cream.

[Anchic]

Anchic, well, then with an ice cream compressor!
Anyway, now you need to study and master it. A necessary thing especially in summer, I even managed to bring two buckets of different ice cream to visit for small children in freezer bags (1.5 hours and two transfers on the metro). All adults and children were delighted, they are also thinking of buying.

Girls thank you
Yes, I bought a freezer.

But tell me, what thickeners do you use when yogurt or milk? Gum or something else? Starch?

[Miranda]

Miranda, I made dairy for my son with agar-agar. Fruit and berry (sorbet) was made with starch. I want to try to make it with the addition of invert syrup.

[Miranda]

Miranda, That is great! And what model?
In the Italian book of recipes with milk and without eggs, I found only one recipe now I will write, and then I will look at their website there were many recipes:
Banana ice cream
150g sugar
150 gr milk
Lemon juice
300 g banana pulp (net weight)
Peel the bananas and cut into small pieces, drizzle with lemon juice and whisk with sugar. Add milk, stir well and pour the mixture into the ice cream maker's container.
Bucket 1.5 l

[Miranda]

what thickeners do you use

Miranda, I use gelatin, it then whips well into a foam, increasing in volume

[Miranda]

But tell me, what thickeners do you use when yogurt or milk?

Miranda, I took the ingredients from here, but brought it to a boil in an ordinary scoop on the stove.

🔗

Proportion is very important.One tenth more - and the texture is either rubbery or snotty

I deliberately looked for these thickening ingredients, since a couple of years ago in our supermarkets, well, sooooo delicious ice cream appeared (which then deteriorated, as usual). I looked for a recipe on the label with the composition.

I highly recommend reading the comments. There are valuable things in there

Thanks everyone, I will study, try, come back with questions

Also very tasty ice cream made from ice cream strawberries with cream, etc. It is not even close to compare with the store. The main thing here is tasty and quick preparation.

A more detailed recipe? etc. - read out the entire list, please. Exotic fruits like passionfruit won't work, our local shops don't sell this. And you can buy frozen strawberries and cherries.
I recently bought food flavors, make coffee syrup, I also tried adding it to milk ice cream. It is interesting that not only the aroma, but also the taste appears, I did it with peach and mango, although maybe this is self-hypnosis for me

not only aroma, but also taste appears,

I added only vanilla-creamy flavor from Pudov to vanilla ice cream, and the taste really appears, everyone really liked it.
And I made ice cream with mango on Finnish puree (mashed potatoes + cream + condensed milk). I love mango and this ice cream, but it turned out more than a liter, since the package of mashed potatoes, 5 liters, with additives and whipping is almost 1.5 liters, and so, I ate it almost in one of my faces, gave my friends a little taste, and the rest in a week, slowly, gloom in the evenings

Peace be with you bakers!

interested in the unit: yes: I want a semiautomatic device due to the lack of space in the kitchen while looking through the options, there is just hope to hit the road to Hamburg at the end of September and ask the price there
but I am writing for this reason, yesterday in the Prazhskaya metro area \ this is in Moscow \ while waiting for a friend I visited M Video, Eldorado and the Electronic Paradise market, since none of the devices was seen in any of the places, only in M ​​Video on a question from the employee of the hall
do they have anything from the assortment, he poked around in the computer for a long time, and then invited to the shelf to show the only device and the one at a discount, some kind of little garbage with a capacity of 300 grams

I want a semi-automatic

Anatoly, semiautomatic device, this is what is put in the freezer, a bowl, right?

at the end of September, hit the road to Hamburg and ask the price there

Issue price from 19 euros.

Peace be with you bakers!

yes it is with a bowl for freezing
I just wanted to hold it in my hands - it didn’t grow together, but about the trip it’s not yet clear - they’ll give it a couple of weeks or not, so I’m monitoring for now, but what did you indicate at 19 euros, what kind of device?

Here is what you designated at 19 euros, what kind of apparatus?

The brand can be any, they are sold everywhere, from the type of supermarket "Lidl" to Media Markt. D In Lidl or Aldi, the price can just start from 19 euros. In spec. stores a little higher.
By the way, you can monitor and see what is on sale in the Media Market. On Google type in German Media Markt.de eismaschine

[Anatoly]

Anatoly, well, 300 grams is about nothing, at least 1.5 liters is needed, or even two))) I have a Steba, a semiautomatic device, I like it, but of course I would like a compressor one, but there is no money. It seems like such a highly specialized machine, I'm glad that I once bought it, my husband loves ice cream very much.

Peace be with you bakers!

Well, I am aware that 300 grams is not about anything \ I look at one and a half liters \, and it is also clear that the bookmark is in half, but I wrote the post in that vein that I did not shake the devices due to their absence, of course there is a large selection in the grid, but I wanted to turn it around in my hands before buying, I am not particularly constrained by the means, but it is problematic to attach a large apparatus for not daily use, and so everything is crammed into the mezzanine

[Anatoly]

Anatoly, yeah, mezzanines are our everything)))

In the Metro on Simferopol highway I bought waffle cones in a box for 1373 rubles.

[Marina]

Marina, there are 96 pieces, right?

And today I went to buy shoes, I didn't buy them.But at the Tasty Shop I bought ice cream cups for 29 rubles for a dozen.

Yes, there are 96 large horns in the box. You can certainly buy and cheaper, if you search. But this purchase is just on the way to the dacha.

[Marina]

Marina, I saw these horns on the Metro website. But I did not understand how many there are - some information on the site is not complete. Therefore, I did not focus on them. But in a delicious store I found exactly glasses. But I bought regular waffle cups which are unsweetened. Perhaps that is why they are cheaper. I also bought 100 of them at once

I tried one cone, a delicious crunchy sweet waffle.

Dear girls and not only, for the first time on your forum, I want to inquire about ice cream makers. I always had a Soviet ice-cream maker "Kievlyanka", a wonderful apparatus that is put in the freezer and connected to the network, inside there is a planetary mixer, and on the other side there is a scraper. I continued to beat the mixture even when it was already so thick that the spoon entered with effort. A couple of days ago, they broke it, dropped the spoon when it was turned on, and the gears all broke off ... We bought a salta 3 ice cream maker from storage, the principle is the same, only instead of a scraper, two mixers are spinning faster in speed. We tried it and was disappointed ... Firstly, the engine stopped when the mixture was just liquid, it had just started to set, and secondly, under load, it started to get very hot and melt that ice cream that had already begun to thicken ... Is this normal? In my old "Kiev woman", the motor became a little warmer only when she stopped and for half an hour - the hour was missed and did not have time to turn off the network. Has anyone worked with the salta ice maker?

I ask for advice in choosing.
There is a semiautomatic device, but I rarely cook, because there is a lot of hassle with the freezer (shove it in / out). And you may want ice cream SUDDENLY, but a day in the freezer is a long time.
I realized that I needed a machine gun.
I read the forum a lot (and thoughtfully). I practically decided on Brand 3811 (or 3812 or 3813), but in the end I found out that the company (it seems) is no longer there. The units themselves are sold and you can buy it, but what if something is wrong? Where to give warranty repairs?
The choice was sharply reduced to Wilfa ICM C 15 (I did not find any reviews at all and the service is not clear), Gastrorag ICN 1518, Gemlux GL-ICM507 (there is a planetary mixer at home, no complaints). Up to 20 thousand
Perhaps someone has such. Criticize or praise, please.

I have a Gemlux for 2L. All summer they made ice cream, it turns out quickly, in 40 minutes. True, the size is not small, but the design is like all Gemlux devices - black with metallic, rectangular. If you have somewhere to store, then take and enjoy your ice cream.

Marina, thank you. Yes, I’ll think. Moreover, they gave a discount on Gemlux ... I just need to explain to my husband about the usefulness (and not the calorie content !!!) of homemade ice cream

And I have this question, more precisely, 2: to take for 1.5 liters or for 2? and is it necessary to keep the cold after the end of the program? I choose between gastrorag 1518 and COOLEQ IF-15, there are no reviews at all.

[Natasha]

Natasha, better than 2 liters, I have 1.5, it happens that ice cream is already up to the top, but it would have to spin a little more, and it already crawls out. I will not tell you about the function of maintaining the cold, I do not have a freezer.

Do you need a cold keeping function after the end of the program?

Nice feature! In the summer we also made fruit ice for children, and the freezer worked .. it cooled, and the adults cooled something else at the same time

The volume is better. Unless you want to eat straight at once and that's it.
And as for maintaining the cold, I have this function. But I rarely use it. Usually I am always there and immediately take out ice cream as soon as the program ends. With a small child, the cold function is convenient: you know for sure that ice cream will not melt)
But in my ice cream maker, if ice cream remains in it, it seems to be condensed along the walls. It becomes not so airy around the perimeter.
So the function is sometimes necessary, but it's better to get it right away.

[zvezda]

Thank you very much for your answers. I'll look for more then



zvezda, Olya, how did you make ice-fruit?

Hello! Help, please, we cannot make a choice ... Gemlux GL-ICM509 or Brand 3813. I need it as a present for my daughter. The fact that one is two and a half, and the second is two liters is understandable, what is a plus for Gemlux, but what about reliability?

Peace be with you bakers!

I have already posted that I want to take Gemlux, but since it’s so much fun for the sake of it, I’m monitoring a discount on this device, and now, what is interesting from the summer to the present day there have been promotions and discounts on a dozen other devices, and this time the discount was CSO and even then in 300 rubles
