It's easy to use, and making the ice cream itself is pretty cinchy also. I don't regret waiting to get one, but now that I have it, I'm so glad I do. from 2004).Īnd since I have a food blog, and it was hot as Hades, I ran out of reasons for not getting an ice cream maker. My mom took that excuse away when she visited and cleaned my place from top to bottom, so I actually did have time to clean out my freezer (found a giant bag - unopened - of Trader Joe's frozen strawberries. Then my excuse was that my not-large freezer was jam-packed with things and I simply didn't have the will to clean it out, when the rest of my house was in shambles (have I mentioned what a crappy summer it's been?). I think it always felt like one of those extraneous kitchen appliances that would gather dust after one or two uses, because it's so incredibly easy to buy ice cream (and if you're not picky, quite inexpensively), so who wants to bother with the mess of making your own at home? Well, time passed, technology got better, and now the 'mess' part is pretty minimal since they've come up with machines that don't require any ice or rock salt. I resisted getting an ice cream machine for a long time, I'm not quite sure why. The point is that I was trying to be a responsible consumer.
Never mind that I ordered it a week and a half ago, when Seattle broke our all-time record high, reaching 103☏ (with hardly anyone having air conditioning, mind you). I ordered the darn ice cream machine, it arrived, and I needed to make sure it was working properly right? Right. I have a good reason for making ice cream today, even though it's cloudy and rather cold (cold enough to bring out long pajama pants, which, let's face it, I love wearing).
