Fun Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Maker with A Boost

When we first saw this Ice Cream Maker, we were transported back to our kids’ days making ice cream at home with that big wooden bucket with salt and ice cubes and cranking away for what seemed like forever — but now it’s even better with a mild assist from technology! The basics are eternal: add your ingredients to the inner aluminum bucket based on your preferred recipe and flavor and surround it in the wooden bucket with salt and ice cubes. Now is where tradition meets innovation, as a 38 rpm motorized attachment does the grunt work, getting the mixture to a base thickness, then shuts off automatically. That’s your cue to switch to the die-cast aluminum hand crank to finish the job, bringing everything together to make 4 delicious quarts of perfectly textured ice cream. The entire process takes about an hour and will be the hit of your next cookout, birthday party, or any time you dream up a new ice cream flavor.
