Nostalgia Electric Ice Cream Maker – Wood Bucket Parlor Style, Old Fashioned Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine Makes Frozen Yogurt or Gelato in Minutes - Fun Kitchen Appliance – White & Aqua - 4 Quart

Working for us no problems. Materials may be on the cheaper side but it does make good ice cream.

Looking for a great ice cream machine, you have found the one. This ice cream machine is fantastic! It’s very easy to use and makes smooth, creamy ice cream in no time. The instructions are clear, and the machine runs quietly and efficiently. I love being able to customize flavors and ingredients, and the results taste just as good as store-bought. To me honestly better than store bought. It’s fun easy and you will get delicious results everytime! Ice cream lovers I totally recommend this one for you.

I bought this ice cream maker because my mom loves ice cream, can’t get enough of it. So being the wonderful daughter I am, I decided to try my hand at making it. That’s kind of why I’m her favorite, lol, I go the distance for my mama. So I couldn’t decide for a while if I should go with the old school or cutting edge machine. The decision came down to quantity. You can’t make nearly as much with the new ice free machines, unless you spend the big bucks. I also decided to start making her ice cream because we’ve completely changed how we eat. We now eat as clean as we can afford and organic. The ice creams you can buy now days are mostly “frozen desserts” and the crap they shovel into them has gotten ridiculous. So my mission was a healthier ice cream with no junk. What follows is the recipe I came up with, it’s pretty amazing (mom’s words), lol. You can make it with the ingredients you prefer, for me I went completely organic. I also tried a new vanilla and the difference was dramatic! It was unbelievably good and the vanilla flavor, just wow! It’s very similar to the vanilla Breyers uses in taste but a little better. It’s Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder, 1oz. You can order it with your ice cream machine right here on Amazon. The ice cream maker worked beautifully and I wouldn’t have changed a thing except maybe an on/off switch. You have to plug it in to turn it on and unplug to shut it down. A minor issue, if you can even call it that. Oh gosh I forgot about the cord there for a second. It’s super short so have a plug close or grab a small extension. The machine did go through an entire large bag of ice so, make sure you have a lot before you begin. I had to top the ice off twice during the process so just keep an eye on it. It took about 30 minutes to churn it in total. I made sure my ice cream was cooled for 2 hrs before I put it in the mixer. If you don’t want to wait you can put it in earlier, you’ll just go through way more ice. I also waited until the ice cream was pretty firm before I shut it down. Below is my very simple, much healthier ice cream recipe. It’s an absolutely beautiful French vanilla or custard as some might call it. I’m old fashioned and eggs just make ice cream that much richer and oh so delicious. Enjoy! 7 egg yolks (organic, free range) 1 cup honey (local) 6 cups heavy whipping cream (organic grass fed) 1 cup whole milk (organic) 1 tsp Lafaza Organic Madagascar Bourbon Pure Ground Vanilla Bean Powder 1/8 tsp sea salt Whisk egg yolks and honey in a large mixing bowl and set aside. In a large pot mix together cream, milk, salt, and heat on medium heat until it’s roughly 155 degrees f, or until it starts to steam slightly. Take off the heat and temper your egg and honey mixture. Which is simply adding the cream mix to the egg mix very slowly, whisking the entire time. Then take the entire mixture and put it back into your large pot and cook until it reaches 175 degrees f. Do not go over 180 degrees. Take it off the heat and let cool for 30 min., then add your vanilla. Place plastic directly onto mixture so it doesn’t form a skin and cool for another 1 and 1/2 hrs. Then follow the directions for the ice cream maker. It’s that simple and it will be the best vanilla ice cream you have ever had, well, if not the best then top 3 at least, lol.

I have a cuisinart ice cream maker with the bowl that you freeze, but it just does not make enough ice cream for a large group, so I wanted an "old school" maker. The price on this was definitely a factor in my purchase, and it really works pretty well. We used a lot of ice and salt, and checked on it midway through to add more ice and salt. The only odd thing was as we served the ice cream and got further down in the container, I decided to put the ice cream in smaller container to freeze the rest. The very bottom of the container came out pure liquid, like it had not been churned/frozen. I don't know if it's because it never froze or because it melted as we were serving it, but I've not had that happen before so?? This was very easy to use and makes about the same amount of sound as you'd expect from an ice cream maker. It is a 4 quart capacity, so makes a good amount for a large group! I may update this next time with the liquid at the bottom issue??

Awesome ice cream maker makes wonderful homemade ice cream. It is a great value for the money does not include any recipes in the instruction manual it is easy to use and easy to clean up

Nice appearance. Makes nice cream with minimal effort. Relatively good freeze quality.

Great product it works. It will take a rest on its own. At first I thought it had stopped working, but I was wrong. It was just taking its own rest and start working back whenever the motor is cool down

love this , got mine for $45. made the vanilla twice, oh my .....everyone loved it. homemade is the way to go. no preservatives or added junk

It works great! Highly recommend this.

Greetings, I am writing to inform you that the motor of my Nostalgia Electric Ice Cream Maker burned out immediately upon switching it on for the first time. Upon reviewing the specifications, I noticed the appliance is designed for 120V, whereas the standard voltage in my region is 230V. This may have caused the malfunction. I would appreciate your support in arranging a replacement that is compatible with 230V. If that is not possible, I kindly request a full refund. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Best regards,

Funciona super bien, dependiendo del helado tarda de 30 a 50 min

Quelle arnaque ! A fuir si vous êtes dans en France ! celle ci ne fonctionne pas en france

Excited to use it on Christmas. Can’t wait to make our own ice cream healthy version.
