I finally broke down and bought a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker and I have to tell you, I’m glad I did. I have a family of 10 and being able to make two quarts of sherbet, sherbet, and homemade frozen drinks is a real treat.
Like I said, I have a family of 10, so we needed a pretty strong Cuisinart ice cream maker to keep up. We chose the ICE-30BC which I have to say is pretty well made. It’s tough, looks amazing, and works great.
The only flaw is that you have to freeze the bowl for 24 hours to get your creation to the right consistency.
The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker company has another model that I have my eye on. It’s a commercial Cuisinart ice cream maker and it has its own built-in freezer chamber. That means no frostbite in the bowl. Just turn it on and 30 minutes later, ice cream!
The downside to that is that it’s $300. BUT, I also found a similar manufacturer (another brand) for $700, so I guess it’s not too bad.
Let me tell you a bit about the history of this sweet ice cream, I think you will find it interesting.
The Emperor of Rome (Nero) is credited with sending his servants into the mountains to collect snow. This was then mixed with nectar, fruit pulp, and honey. Sure, it wasn’t as convenient as a Cuisinart ice cream maker, but it must have been a treat!
No one knows for sure the origin of this fantastic frozen treat, but in the 13th century, Marco Polo returned from Asia with recipes for ‘ice water’. Apparently Asians had been using them for thousands of years.
Italo Machiony had a cute pushcart where he sold his homemade parfait on Wall Street. He invented a waffle cone to keep people from running off with their glass cups and patented his idea in 1903.
No matter what you call it or who made it, whether it contains fruit, nuts, chocolate, or peanut butter (my favorite), you really need to be able to make your own. Not only is it slightly less expensive, but there are NO condoms and you can put exactly what you want.
