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

[Ferro]

Ferro, just don't be nervous, but now there are several more models of ice cream makers (ariette, vinis and some other). I don't think anyone can really say which is better or worse, since very few people have dealt with more than one model. I leaned towards the clathronic for two reasons: 1. it was in stock when I had the urge to buy an ice cream maker (tris appeared just a week and a half after my purchase), 2. the clathronic is also sold in Europe, including in Germany, and this already at least some sign of acceptable quality.
I did not regret the choice.

Girls, I'm completely entangled in models, help me out, eh! I will not master 80 pages of the topic again, although I have been reading it since the summer, so it's a mess in my head. The soul asks for ice cream, already dances. Only Klatronic and Trisa are available to me in Kiev. What to choose? While it's winter and an ice cream maker is really possible to find, I would like to buy it. It seems to have settled in my head that Tris is preferable or not? Please, please, if you remember, whisper to me, or poke your nose where to read.

P. s. For some reason, my search box disappeared. I have it at work, but not at home. I would honestly try to use the search on the forum, although this way I don't really manage to find something here, ehhh ...

Ferro, I opted for Clathronic. Still, the truth has never used it, but for me the price was decisive (half the price). Why overpay? They work according to the same principle, except for a larger volume in Triz. And if this difference in volume is not important for you, then it is better to buy Clathronic

If you buy Klatronic, in Kiev Auchan on Petrovka I saw it at the lowest price, something like 220-230 UAH.

Girls, thank you all for not beating me up and for educating curious newbies like me. As for cream ... when I think about homemade ice cream, I only think about homemade cream from the market. The shop cream option is not very interesting to me, because

... their composition nullifies the idea of ​​making homemade ice cream: the same garbage can be purchased with less cost and effort as part of ready-made ice cream

+1 (sadly).

Do not consider it arrogance, but I'm still interested. Maybe someone dealt with such a miracle?

I looked at the Amazon, the reviews are very good, but also some questions - what kind of animal? I do not know the manufacturer either, although there is a lot of this technique in the net. Maybe someone has one here too?

Maybe someone dealt with such a miracle?

I looked, read the instructions, did not understand the principle of operation. I watched the video - I understood, but I didn't like it sooo much. Why such difficulties and this design is unlikely to be reliable, but unambiguously cumbersome. The blade seems to be stationary, and the bucket rotates. Is this out of a desire to be original? Maybe they have a bread maker with a fixed paddle in their assortment?

Yeah, exactly, she looked too! The paddle is in place, but the bucket is spinning, circus! Although on the Amazon they are promoting it in every way.
A bread machine with a fixed paddle is a heap !!! The spatula is in place, and the stove goes around in a circle
🔗

I have TRISA. It will be a year since I bought it in the spring. It suits me completely. I keep the container constantly in the freezer, so that when I want to make ice cream, it is ready for freezing.

As for the cream, I mainly use 15% -20% (PROSTOKVASHINO). I liked them the most and not so expensive. The composition seems to be normal. The ice cream is delicious.
Not much like 10% cream - watery.

Tetra Pak 200g. 20% cream + 60g.Sahara. Beat with a mixer. This is the easiest ice cream recipe.

And I even liked the principle of operation of such an ice cream maker - I watched the video on youtube - if it was sold with us, then perhaps I would have bought it for the sake of interest

I watched the video - the idea of ​​rotating the bowl is interesting. Notice that the spatula comes very close to the wall of the bowl, and there is another blade in the middle. There are no dead spots in the bowl. Probably convenient ... Right now they are advertising a mixer in which both the blades and the bowl itself rotate. They say the effect of whipped cream is achieved after 3 minutes.

Here! And it somehow bribed me! It also seems to me that such mixing should be effective.

I wanted to read about ice cream makers, but having seen as many as 83 pages, alas, I cannot master it ...
Maybe there is someone thread who can describe in a nutshell the main nuances when choosing an ice cream maker. What you should pay special attention to is possible without trademarks. There may be a principle of operation or the power of the unit or some other thread of subtleties, which is not a dream in the store ...
I will be very grateful!

[RybkA]

RybkA, first evaluate the real opportunity to purchase heavy cream 60 hryvnia per liter - this is "President" 35%. Maybe, of course, you have a wider choice of this matter. But I would recommend starting with this.

I understand everything about cream, thanks!
I look at eating with a different principle of action: will some pre-freeze, others somehow freeze themselves? How can they freeze themselves (as in the video on the previous page)?
What's better?

[RybkA]

I understand everything about cream, thanks!
do others somehow freeze themselves? How can they freeze themselves? What's better?

RybkA, a freezer is like a small freezer, into which a bucket is inserted, and a mixer is lowered from above. I just have a freezer, my opinion on the pros and cons is here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=646.0 And what is better is up to you to decide, based on your needs.

With a freezer - it's cool But this, as they say, as consumption and skills grow, that is, not yet for me for sure.
I understand what can be done with a mixer? And what then is the ice cream maker?
Maybe someone thread will share the recipe for ice cream "from a mixer"?

Any recipe will do, try with the classic - ice cream from Anastasia https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=646.0
... And the trick is, if with a mixer, then the handles need to interfere with the mixture, which is cooled in the freezer so that the liquid in the ice does not crustallize.
Qween made ice cream without an ice cream maker, although she bought it later. Here is her quote:
When the ice cream mixture is ready for freezing, then you need to put a bowl of future ice cream in the freezer. Every ~ 30 minutes, take out the bowl, and gently (like a biscuit) stir the ice cream with a spoon. When the ice cream is already well frozen, then it is necessary to mix 2-3 more times every 20 minutes.

THANKS for the recipe, I will definitely try!
In general, if you mix it with your hands, the process takes at least 2 hours, and if there is an ice maker, then thirty minutes? Am I getting it right?
more .... that is, all the ice cream makers that we sell (I mean small structures) are designed for freezers, and those that freezers freeze themselves outside the refrigerator are large and expensive?
That is, there is no difference between these small models, except for the volume?

are designed for freezers, and those that freezers and freeze themselves outside the refrigerator are large and expensive?

Yes, yes, but only I would not say that the freezer is large, I have it even smaller than a bread machine.

That is, there is no difference between these small models, except for the volume?

And the height of the bowl. You need to look to fit into your freezer.

In general, if you mix it by hand, the process takes at least 2 hours, and if there is an ice cream maker, then thirty minutes? Am I getting it right?

It's better to wait for Qween, she will say more specifically, but I have no experience in cooking without an ice cream maker.

How much can a freezer cost? And how does it work: batteries / mains?

I have such 🔗... This is the manufacturer's official website. I bought before the crisis and the price was much lower. Prices are different in different stores. You can find it cheaper. By the way, I didn't buy from them. And it works from the network.

Prices are different in different stores. You can find it cheaper.

Yeah find, BUT after a long search for a freezer, I realized that in Ukraine (in particular in Kiev) a good freezer like Nemox cannot be found. Here, the maximum you can buy a slop Tris (somewhere in this forum I already wrote about how I already went to buy a Tris freezer). And even if you find it, we don't have a service center! A piece (it seems if your memory does not fail) greens or euros you will go to your own risk and that's it!

[ZHIRULKA]

ZHIRULKA , I understand you very much. I also had difficulties with the purchase, I do not live in Moscow. But I decided that I needed him and that's it. First I looked for where they were selling, then I talked on the phone with the organization, asked them to take him to the transport company. This is not an internet store. In general, it was not so simple.

And even if you find it, we don't have a service center! A piece (it seems if your memory does not fail) greens or euros you will go to your own risk and that's it!

And I am without a service center. He who does not take risks does not drinking champagnenot eating ice cream

[He who does not take risks does not drinking champagnenot eating ice cream

I agree, but not where we are talking about 1200 euros (Gelato Pro 1700) and even 600 is a pity if it gets covered!

Tell the PLZ who has an ice cream attachment for the Kenwood Major combine - how many ml of finished ice cream actually comes out, otherwise my Clathronic is already too small for me.

[ZHIRULKA]

ZHIRULKAand why Gelato Pro 1700? It differs only in that it has a metal blade (if my memory serves me right), the other parameters are identical. But I don't see any point in overpaying for the blades 2 times.
And so, of course, to each his own. In this thread, I have never tried to send someone to the freezer. It's just that when a person tries to figure out how the principle of work is different, I write about my experience. As information for thought.
But in general, if I thought about the warranty card, then I would not have a multicooker either.

..... why Gelato Pro 1700? It differs only in that it has a metal blade (if my memory serves me right), the other parameters are identical. But I don't see any point in overpaying for the blades 2 times.

Something more, she still differs besides the blade, even if she was even called professional.

Yes, I remembered, not just the blade. When I was choosing mine, I called Nemox. The Gelato Pro 1700 has an aluminum body (hence the price) and paddle. And in 1 min. it makes 32 turns, and in the cheaper 24 turns. The compressors are the same. The guy said that theoretically the ice cream should be more fluffy at a higher rotation speed, but in practice it is the same.

she was even called professional.

And this is rather a psychological lure. Go to them 🔗... This freezer is in the household ice cream makers section. In professional, they do not smell.

I saw Trisa being offered for 4200 UAH, which is a little more than 500 USD. e.
And on the Ukrainian site of Nemox there are no household freezers, only professional ones for bars / cafes.

In the meantime, I bought myself a completely ordinary ice cream maker, I saw it in METRO, I had never seen this here before, so I became interested. Moreover, it is, as they say, "an unknown breed of beast" Infinity ICE 2010 Capacity 1.2 l
The first time was more than successful !!! Made by prescription Anastasia

For a 1.1 liter ice cream maker:
200 ml cream 35%
100 ml milk 3.2%
6 tbsp. tablespoons of powdered sugar
2 eggs
vanillin
In my 1.1 liter ice cream maker, exactly 1/2 portion fit, that is, I divided all the products in half. A portion when frozen was placed in a 650 ml container under the eyeballs.

Now a photo of the device

This is a disassembled cover.

"Personal" data. Manufacturer, some kind of PRRC, I think China or the like ... Power 12W. By the way, there was also Ariete 638, they thought at first to take it, it seemed like a familiar brand, but looked under the cover, and the manufacturer is the same РRC and the power was less than 6-8W. Probably, it will interfere more slowly ... Although mine is not very fast either ...

After opening the lid, the stirrer broke off in the ice cream. For my taste, it was already absolutely ready to use. I don't like oak ice cream.

After removing the ice cream, the vellerko remained practically clean. Below the ice cream was more frozen, but nowhere it stuck tightly, there were no "dead zones".


Here ... what recipe would you recommend?

[RybkA]

RybkA, Congratulations!!!
Your Infinity is very similar to my Clatronic 3225 ....
Hope you will be happy with your purchase !!! Such a beautiful ice cream !!!
And how much was the ice cream maker frozen in the freezer and at what temperature? Did one norm of food fit or two?
My kids still like to replace cream with milk in Anastasia's ice cream ...
And the ice cream maker constantly lives in the freezer ...

[ukka]

ukka , THANK YOU!

And how much was the ice cream maker frozen in the freezer and at what temperature?

ukka , the ice cream maker was frozen for about a day, although it is written that it takes 8 hours. Tem-ra .... uh ... I don't even know -18 * C, probably a new refrigerator.
But the container into which the ice cream was transferred was not cooled, but it should be, because the ice cream from the warm surface immediately began to thaw.

Did one norm of food fit or two?

It's not even one serving, but rather half a serving. Anastasia referred to that it has a capacity of 1.1 liters and is just fine, so I was guided by this.

And the ice cream maker constantly lives in the freezer ...

I sent mine back for the winter too
By the way, she then froze for a long time, I had to wait two hours for sure to wash it.

[RybkA]

Aha, and I have it!
RybkA, let's go to the rice cookers, Svetik_ the rice cooker got

Girls, enlighten the dark pliz Well, there is no time to re-read more than 80 pages. There is an opportunity to take a clathronic ice cream maker. I still did not understand, she freezes the ice cream herself, or it is necessary to put it in the freezer. Even I did not understand. Sorry for the stupid question

I don’t know about Clathronic, but as far as I remember, an ice cream maker that freezes itself and does not need to be put in the freezer costs at least $ 1000. How much are you going to buy?

Klatronic does not make those that "freeze themselves". The capacity of the ice cream maker is placed in the freezer for 12 hours at -18. And then we pour the mixture there, plug it in and after half an hour you can eat

I don’t know about Klatronic, but as far as I remember, an ice cream maker that freezes itself and does not need to be put in the freezer costs at least $ 1000.

I'm not that cool

In the online store I found a proposition a set: an ice cream maker + a waffle iron for thin waffles all together 685 UAH (about 85 USD) All this is from Klatronic. There is similar in a set and a thing for rolling waffles into an ice cream cone is provided. So I'm thinking about taking it or not. I'm still looking for a waffle iron for thin waffles, there is nothing suitable. On the same site, the same waffle iron itself - 345 UAH.
Jefry, thanks for the clarification

I still do not understand, she freezes the ice cream herself, or it is necessary to put it in the freezer

I have a Clathronic, it consists of a bucket body, a lid, a stand and a stirrer, which is inserted into the lid.
So the bucket body must be put in the freezer for at least 8 hours, then taken out, put on a stand, pour the prepared mixture into the bucket, close the lid into which the mixer is already inserted, and turn it on for 30-60 minutes.

Call the ABC technician, they were cheaper there ...

Oh thanks!!!!

Yesterday I made an ice cream for the guests as an encore. Everyone is delighted! Both taste and consistency.
Only now a littleoooooo .... 4 adults, and 4 more children. In general, the adults got the remnants ...
Or change the device or prepare the stock.

I have a volume of 1.2 liters, but I think it turns out 500-600g, no more ... I really didn't weigh ...

And who knows a thread with a larger volume?

I sometimes make in reserve, and then in the freezer different ice cream - you want creamy, you want strawberry and. etc.
Only I can't buy a spoon so I can spread it with beautiful balls ...

And today I made one sea buckthorn-orange-banana for the guests, and the other multifruit. everyone is happy !!!

I made cranberry ice cream, I really liked it, with sourness. I sent part of the juice to ice cream, and added sugar to the other. powder. This syrup turned out to be delicious, pour ice cream on top

[kolynusha]

kolynusha , and throw a recipe for cranberry ice cream?

[RybkA]

RybkA, we take our favorite ice cream as a basis.
Eggs 3 pcs
Cream (I have 20%) 650 ml.
Sugar 100g.
Cranberry juice (I did not measure in ml, I tasted it, I could feel the taste and taste and there was no busting, about 100 -150 ml)
I took frozen cranberries. But the syrup, I was so pleasantly surprised, I will constantly make it. For watering it is most.

Kievans! In Auchan on Petrovka, I saw Klatronic ice cream makers for 230 UAH yesterday. (Oh, I bought my own for 450 in the summer). And today, in the square near Bessarabka, Trissa saw for 560 hryvnias, it seems. Why pay more?

And I this weekend in Auchan on the district saw Klatronic for 306 hryvnyas. I thought about taking it, but there was not enough money. I wonder why the price has fallen so, and will it be the same there and there?

[RybkA]

RybkA, we take our favorite ice cream as a basis.
Eggs 3 pcs
Cream (I have 20%) 650 ml.
Sugar 100g.
Cranberry juice (I did not measure in ml, I tasted it, I could feel the taste and taste and there was no busting, about 100 -150 ml)
I took frozen cranberries. But the syrup, I was so pleasantly surprised, I will constantly make it. For watering it is most.

And the process? Yolks with sugar separately? And proteins separately? Did you defrost the cranberries and then wipe them?
And for a volume of 1.2 liters of this composition will not be much?

I defrosted the cranberries and drove them through the juicer. I used to conduct an experiment: I made two fillings at once using different technologies. The first one, whipped whites and yolks separately, and then combined. And the second - eggs, without separating, beat with sugar, and then added cream. As a result, I got ice cream of the same consistency. But, I will make a reservation, I have a freezer, perhaps an ice cream maker with a bowl will have a different result. And now I'm doing it according to the second option. I have a container of 1.5 liters, of course you need to reduce it.

Recently I also like to make creme brulee. Again, we take the ice cream from Anastasia as a basis. We brew sah. syrup as Tortyzhka taught, to a pleasant brown hue, but not dark and of course not burnt. Remove from heat and slowly add some cream. The syrup immediately turns to stone - that's okay. We put on low heat and stir, the syrup softens in just a minute. And then everything is as usual. Add this syrup to a bowl, with pre-beaten eggs and cream.

And for a volume of 1.2 liters of this composition will not be much?

In my clathronic 1,1 l it will be exactly up to the eyeballs - 450 ml glass of cream + eggs + chocolate, all this will increase in volume in the ice-maker later!

[some cream]

....... Remove from fire and add on the sly some cream... ..... And then everything is as usual. We add this syrup to the bowl, with a preliminary beaten eggs with cream.

Divide the cream in half - into the syrup and into the cream and eggs?
