Now that summer time is gone, it’s tempting to send your ice cream freezer to the back of the cabinet but why? Anyone for pumpkin ice cream? And if you don’t have an ice cream maker, why not check out the local department store. You’ll often find some very good deals during their summer-clearance sales. And if you do pick up one, you might be curious about how they work.

Electric ice cream makers aka ice cream machines and ice cream freezers all pretty much work a like-an ice cream mixture is brought to almost freezing and simultaneously, the mixture is stirred to prevent ice from forming.

When it comes to electric ice cream makers, you choices are limited to three different styles. First you have the traditional ice cream maker. This kind of ice cream freezer uses ice and rock salt to bring the ice cream mix to freezing.

Then there is the canister type. This unit uses a freezable bowl, which you store in your freezer, to get your ice cream mix cold enough. A canister ice cream freezer is generally less messy than the first kind.

Last but no least are the compressor ice cream makers. Wanna get rid of ice and rock salt slurry? Don’t want to plan ahead for freezing your bowl? A compressor ice cream freezer, works like your freezer with a built in freezer unit. And not only that but you can whip up ice cream anytime.

There are a couple of downers though. The first is price. These electric ice cream machines can run into several hundreds or thousands of dollars. You might also find some models don’t have removable bowls which can make cleanup a pain in the you-know-what.

Well that’s about it as far as the different types of ice cream makers. Earlier, I stated that your ice cream machine can be a year around appliance and here’s what I mean. Pumpkins and sweet potatoes go into a lot of staple hot fall foods but they are great in ice cream too. And vanilla ice cream is really tasty on pumpkin pie.
