Hand Powered Ice Cream Makers – Portable Wholesome Family Fun
Going Camping this summer? While nobody forgets to bring along the tent and sleeping bags but if your camping with family, have you ever thought about bringing along a hand powered ice cream maker? Growing up and camping with my family, we always brought along one of these ice cream makers so while other families where roasting smores, our family was eating homemade ice cream.
Although most people think of ice cream makers as being electric, the hand crank models aren't outdated yet. In fact, they have several things going for them that you just don't get with an electric model. First, like I mentioned before, they are extremely portable. No power, no problem, use them at the beach or after church it doesn't matter. Second, the smallest hand cranked model I've seen has a 4 quart capacity. That's a gallon of ice cream which can serve quite a few. And while many people dislike the mess of melting ice and rock salt that you get with the wooden tubs of these ice cream freezers, if you're camping or outdoors, it doesn't really matter. Finally, ice cream made in a hand cranked ice cream machine tastes better... no really! You see, good ice cream, besides getting it's flavor from quality ingredients, is all about how much air you can work into the ice cream mix as it's freezer. An electric motor can't sense when the ice cream mix is freezer but a person can. This means that the person, sensing that the ice cream is freezing, can turn the hand crank faster to work more air into the ice cream and thus better ice cream.
So give a hand powered ice cream maker a try. Besides being portable it can be fun for the whole family to crank out a batch of ice cream together.
