When it comes to making homemade ice cream you have several
options for an ice cream maker.
Depending on how often you and your family like to make up a batch of
fresh ice cream you can spend under a hundred to several hundred dollars.
If you make a small batch of homemade ice cream once or
twice a year you can probably get by just fine with one of those imported
freezers being sold in discount stores for under a hundred dollars.
However, if you’re a routine homemade ice cream family or
you make a lot of ice cream for social functions purchasing too cheap may end up with a wasted batch and disappointment.
In order to sell those imports so cheaply manufactures use
plastic parts and low end components to maintain their profit margins.
To step up a several notches White Mountain Freezers are a
long time popular mainstay. They come
in 4 and 6 qt hand crank or electric models.
If you really want to step up into a USA made freezer with
larger sizes the Amish made Country Freezers are made with all USA parts. They range in size from 1 pint all the way up
to a 20 qt 5 gallon size.
A new emerging Amish made freezer called the Immergood uses
a fiberglass tub and heavy duty stainless parts. It currently is only available in a 6 qt in
hand crank or equipped with a White Mountain or Country electric motor. A 8 qt Immergood with a USA made motor is in
development for 2015.
You can purchase both White Mountain and the Amish made
freezers as well as all the replacement parts for older freezers at CottageCraft Works.com
