How to choose an ice cream maker

Before you go to the store for this confectionery device, you need to prepare for this. How to choose an ice cream maker for the home, the chef told Healthy Food Near Me Igor Chudaevwho likes to please his family with sweets. He recommends paying attention to the following points before buying.

Management

To prevent ice from forming on the ice cream, it must be stirred while the mixture is cooling. On older models, this was done by hand. They remain so now. But more convenient options are automatic. Some ice cream makers are semi-automatic, where the stirring process can take place both from an electric drive and manually. Accordingly, if you take automation, make sure that the power of the model is good.

Volume of the bowl

Before the delicacy is ready, it will need to be kept for several hours in the freezer. See that the bowl of the device you are buying can fit in there. Also calculate the volume depending on those for whom they are designed. A bowl for several servings should be larger than a bowl for one person. The presence of a compressor An important detail for those who take a model with automatic control. With the help of the compressor, you yourself do not need to do anything at all, except to press the buttons. The built-in compressor is responsible for cooling the mixture. The bowl does not even have to be kept in the freezer. Automation also prolongs the stirring period, which results in a thicker consistency of the dessert. This technique is much more expensive than conventional. Plus, be prepared for the fact that such a model will need space – usually they are overall and require free space in order to pass air normally.

Additional functions

Their presence is also important. For example, some ice cream makers are also declared as sorbet makers – they allow you to prepare fruit sorbets, which many people like. Sometimes an ice cream maker can act as a yogurt maker – and this is a plus. Some devices can be used to cool drinks. It’s good when the ice cream maker has timer functions, a clear display, the ability to automatically turn off, and so on. Quality of materials Ice cream makers are made of plastic and metal. Sometimes it is a combination material. Metal is more reliable, but plastic is not a sign of poor quality. Look for models that look good, are easy to take apart and easy to clean.
