The Nostalgia 4 Qt. Electric Ice Cream Maker makes ice cream, frozen yogurt or sorbet in family-sized batches. It has a vintage-inspired look, and an electric motor does the churning, so no hand cranking is needed. A batch takes about 30 minutes.
It uses a 4-quart aluminum canister and a heavy-duty plastic dasher, set inside a blue plastic outer bucket with a carry handle. This is an ice-and-salt machine. Ice and salt go in the outer bucket around the canister, never into the ice cream mixture. Ice, salt and chilled recipe ingredients are not included.
To use it, chill the canister and the prepared mixture. Fill the canister no more than two-thirds full, then fit the dasher, lid and motor. Layer ice and salt around the canister, keeping below the bucket drain opening, and plug into a 120V AC outlet. Allow about 1 to 2 medium bags of ice and 2 to 4 cups of salt per batch. Transfer the finished ice cream to a freezer-safe container for a firmer texture.
