Rival 1.5-Quart Treat Shoppe Electric Ice Cream Maker

First to recommend

Description

According to Slate, "this is about as basic as an electric maker gets. But, if the plan is to make a quick and dirty Philly-style—a coupla eggs, cream, sugar, Double Stuffs, and away we go!—this is an operable machine that generates an edible product." (via Slate)

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Out of the seven machines he tried, Stephen Metcalf ranked this one fifth (second to last). He says, "I like this well-made machine, but if you plan to join the fellowship of the ice-cream nerds, this is merely an inexpensive starter."

Rival 4-Quart Electric White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer

First to recommend

Description

When making ice cream is more a family activity rather than a serious effort ot turn out quality, use the old-school White Mountain Ice Cream Churner. "If you want family fun and some Little House nostalgia, the White Mountain machines are terrific. You don't need to freeze a gel canister ahead of time, and you can make massive quantities. And if you are willing to continue stuffing the bucket with fresh ice and salt, you can keep the temperature freezing enough to churn out quite a smooth ice cream."

Lello 4070 Gelato Junior

First to recommend

Description

If you're serious about ice cream making, you need to upgrade from the canister models and go with an Italian-made machine. Stephen Metcalf says that "For under $200, this isn't a bad deal." However, he did notice some design flaws. "First, the lid and paddle are attached to the motor by a Phillips-head screw, making cleanup difficult—as you wash the paddle and lid, you have to somehow keep water off of the motor. Also, drips seemed to catch nearly everywhere in hard-to-clean places."

KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Attachment

First to recommend

5 people recommended this item

Description

As per Stephen Metcalf of Slate, the KitchenAid attachment has some advantages over an all-in-one machine like the Cuisinart because it has "the adjustable speed, allowing you to whip up a lighter, more aerated batter; and the mixer makes the initial batter-making—whipping the eggs into the sugar, then mixing in milk and cream—that much easier."

Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker

3 people recommended this item

Description

I always prefer the sleek and chic look of stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, so the Cuisinart ICE 50BC Supreme is my choice of the "reasonably" priced ice cream makers. Slate's Stephen Metcalf says "the ICE 50BC did make a very nice ice cream, and in well under 40 minutes. A brushed stainless-steel box with no frilly-silly add-ons, the machine is also beautifully designed."

Musso Stainless Steel Lussino Ice Cream Maker

9 people recommended this item

Description

Why is it the best? Well for one, it better be considering the price tag, but for another, it promises to make the best, rich and wonderfully tasty ice cream you have ever had. Of course if you can afford to have it then you probably can afford to have someone make it for you, right?
