Types of ice cream makers
These units are now available in two versions: mechanical and automatic. So, the principle of the mechanical ice cream maker is that the ingredients are laid in a container, and the space between the container and the body of the device is filled with ice and salt. Ice is needed to freeze the mixture, and salt does not allow it to melt too quickly. Such a freezer works as a mechanical primitive mixer, that is, you rotate the handle, which drives the knives or blades installed in the container with the mixture. Be prepared to rotate the handle for more than half an hour.

The ice cream worker works like any other electric kitchen appliance with an electric motor. Usually the finished product is obtained after 5-30 minutes after the bookmark. The time depends on the temperature of the ingredients and the capacity itself. Ready desserts must be stored in a plastic container in the freezer.
There are also combined models with several functions. What does this ice cream maker do? The fact is that in this device, in addition to ice cream, you can prepare and yogurt. The drawback of these models is that at one time more than two servings of cold dessert can not be made.
If there is a need to prepare a large number of portions of this dessert, it is better to purchase a compressor ice cream freezer. Typically, such units can be seen in restaurants and cafeterias. Some freezers are equipped with a function for making cocktails.
