Ice Cream Maker Recommendations
 
In the past making ice cream was a big pain. Hand crank machines required way to much work to
create ice cream (in my opinion). These days ice cream makers that require no work and have become
much less expensive. Of course, if you are looking for a workout you can find an old fashioned ice cream maker at a local store. However, if you are serious about making ice cream, or just want to be able to easily make homemade ice cream; here are two higher end ice cream makers. These ice cream makers are hard to find in stores so i recommend buying them from amazon (links below). They really make it easy to make homemade ice cream, because with these makers all you have to do is throw the unchurned ice cream in and wait around half an hour. 
 
 
Lello 4070 Gelato Junior  price: $192.05
 
Don't let the name trick you, the lello 4070 gelato junior is an ice cream maker... it isn't just for making gelato.
I have been using this machine with great sucess for a while now. This unit contains a Built-in compressor freezer so that all you have to do is turn it on, put your ice cream in, wait around half an hour, and your ice cream is ready. It is a great machine and i am yet to have any problems with it. (it is built pretty well, because i have had the unit for well over a year and it still works perfectly). Unlike hand crank units that require hard work and need ice and salt this machine just does everything for you. I love it! It makes great ice cream and that is the bottom line. (makes 1 quart)
 
 
 
Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker price: $299.00

Cuisinart ICE-50BC Supreme Ice Cream Maker

 

This cuisinart ice-50bc is a bit more expensive than the lello ice cream maker. I do not own this ice cream machine and therefore it is hard for me to say much about it. Yet I have heard that it is a very reliable and well made ice cream maker. It makes half a quart more ice cream than the lello, so that is a definate plus. This maker functions very similarly to the Lello, and one major difference is that more of the parts are made from metal than plastic. However, if you take good care of the Lello I see no problem with the fact that a lot of it is constructed with plastic. Both of these ice cream makers are well built and produce great homemade ice cream; they are definately great long term investments and will produce hundreds of batches of delicious homemade ice cream.
