About the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker Many people like to use the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker attachment with their stand mixers. This machine makes it easy to make ice cream, sorbet, gelato, and other frozen treats in your own kitchen. This part connects directly to the power hub of your KitchenAid mixer and has a bowl, a paddle, and a drive unit. Here is a more in-depth look at what it does and how it works: Design and Components The ice cream maker device is designed to be easy to use and quick. The main part is a strong bowl that can be frozen and is made of two types of insulation. Before you use it, the bowl needs to be frozen for at least 15 hours so that it can mix the ice cream base and freeze it properly. Along with the attachment, there is a special paddle that goes into the bowl and helps mix the items. The mixer's motor turns this paddle, which moves the ingredients around while they freeze. How it Works You'll need to make your ice cream base before you can start making ice cream. You can either make this base from scratch or use a mix that has already been made. When the base is done, put it in the bowl that has been frozen and set the KitchenAid speed to low. The paddle will start to stir the mixture, and as it freezes, air will slowly be added to the base. The ice cream should be ready to eat after 20 to 30 minutes of mixing. By that time, it will have thickened. The KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker tool is great because it's made to be easy to use. It doesn't need any extra motors or complicated setups because it uses the power of your current KitchenAid stand mixer. The stirring process makes sure that the ice cream is smooth and creamy, without having too many ice crystals, which can happen when you make ice cream at home without a machine. Capacity and Versatility Each batch of ice cream made with this attachment can hold about 2 quarts. This is great for small to medium-sized families, but unless you plan to make more than one batch, it might not be enough for bigger events or parties. Because the bowl is big, you can make a lot of ice cream at once without having to worry about spilling or making it unevenly. You can make more than just ice cream with the KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker. It can also make sorbet, frozen yogurt, and gelato. This addition lets you make a lot of different frozen treats by making small changes to the recipe, like using yogurt as the base or adding fruit purée for a sorbet. Maintenance and Cleaning The KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker tool is easy to clean, but you do need to be careful. Because of how it freezes, the bowl can't be submerged in water, so it has to be washed by hand. The paddle and drive unit can be taken off and cleaned in the dishwasher. Before refreezing the bowl, it's important to let it dry completely. Any wetness that's still inside could affect how well it freezes the next batch. Pros and Cons Pros: The KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker is easy to use and can connect to your current KitchenAid machine, so it doesn't need much setup.
