The lifestyle you get to live is because of economies of scale and mass production that we enjoy. The old days of 1923 White Mountain freezers are gone. Unless you want to spend $180-$200 on a "White Mountain" ice cream maker that is still getting bad reviews and is now owned by Rival, I would suggest just a few tweaks to make this machine great. First, my barrel had a crack in it like other people have complained about. Instead of having to deal with sending it back, I bought some wood glue for $4 at a hardware store and bought 6 hose clamps ($2 each) and connected two of them to make them fit around the barrel for each of the 3 wire rings. I pulled off the 3 cheap wires (that are only for show) and put some glue in the crack and tightened the hose clamps then left them on to keep it tight. Is...

It arrived in perfect condition, no cracks in the barrel. We followed another gentleman's directions: When the machine shuts itself off, leave it off, put on the hand crank and crank it a couple more minutes until it won't turn. We've made two batches so far and neither one lasted long. We usually just make a 2 quart recipe and the ice cream is a bit firmer than soft serve. It's good this way and just as good after setting up. 26 of 27 people found the following review helpful Ice cream bucket, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Maxi-Matic EIM-502 Elite Gourmet 4-Quart Old-Fashioned Pine-Bucket Electric/Manual Ice-Cream Maker (Kitchen) Both my husband and I have childhood memories of cranking the ice cream bucket as part of any family or church gathering. What ever happened to that, I don't know. When his birthday rolled around, I was at a loss to come up with the perfect gift. We had looked at electric ice cream freezers and were unimpressed with the too small plastic bucket of the cheap models we saw. Finally we gave up on ever finding a real, hand crank icecream maker. Then I found this one and was frankly disappointed that I had to "settle" for the electric option, but bought it because the birthdate was upon me it had the hand crank option as well. I figured we would never use the electric option because cranking it by hand was part of the nostalgia. Couldn't have been more wrong! First night, I set up a batch in the kitchen sink, plugged it in and turned it on. It works so perfectly well that we may never be able to persuede any of the adult kids to crank it again! We love this machine. The bucket... Read more |
