NostalgiaICMP400BLUE 4-Quart Electric Ice Cream Maker with Easy Carry Handle

$34.99! Makes a lot of ice cream and is much cheaper than the other two types of ice cream makers (freeze a bowl in the freezer for several hours and then put it in a machine that turns the bowl or the kind that come with a built in compressor to chill the bowl as it's being churned). The compressor type of machines were very large over $150 and the pre freeze the bowl types were $70 and up and were around the same size as this overall. I have minimal freezer space so the pre freeze bowl type would have been a pain bc I'd have to reorganize the freezer, which is usually full, each time. The down fall of this is you're going to need about 3 small bags or maybe a couple medium bags of ice each time to place in the bucket, so about an extra $5-$7 in ice each time. I have a GE Opal nugget ice maker and to make a 1/3 of a canister of ice cream it required 1.5 full bins of ice and it took longer than it would normally take for the ice cream to firm up. Most people aren't going to stick with making homemade ice cream frequently after the first few months so I saw no point in spending over double for an item.

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Nostalgia 4 Quart Ice Cream Maker with Easy Carry Handle, and I must say, it's been a delightful addition to our summer festivities. Here's a rundown of my experience with this charming appliance.First and foremost, the ice cream maker runs like a dream. The motor is surprisingly quiet, allowing for a peaceful ice cream-making process without disrupting the conversation or the atmosphere. The easy carry handle is a thoughtful touch, making it convenient to transport the machine from the kitchen to the patio for a fun outdoor ice cream session.One thing to note is that this ice cream maker requires the use of rock salt, which might be a bit of a departure for those accustomed to the electric-free models. However, the trade-off is well worth it. The rock salt not only aids in achieving that perfect creamy consistency but also adds an extra layer of nostalgia to the whole experience.Now, let's talk flavors. We decided to break in the Nostalgia ice cream maker with a batch of homemade coffee-flavored ice cream, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. The machine churned the mixture evenly, producing a rich and velvety texture that had everyone in awe. The coffee flavor was robust and perfectly infused into the ice cream, creating a treat that even the most discerning taste buds couldn't resist.Cleanup was a breeze, thanks to the detachable parts that are easy to disassemble and wash. The compact design also makes storage a non-issue, fitting neatly into our kitchen cabinet until the next ice cream craving strikes.In conclusion, the Nostalgia 4 Quart Ice Cream Maker with Easy Carry Handle is a winner in our household. It runs smoothly, embraces the old-school charm of using rock salt, and delivers on the promise of delicious homemade ice cream. Whether you're a seasoned ice cream enthusiast or a novice looking to try your hand at crafting frozen delights, this ice cream maker is a sweet investment that will surely leave you and your guests raving.
