•Some recipes require
•To make an ice bath, fill a large container with ice cubes and water. Place container with mixture to be used into the ice bath. Cool precooked ingredients completely.
•Prior to freezing, most recipes can be stored in refrigerator for up to 3 days if well covered. Stir ingredients well before using.
•Do not use frozen ingredients directly in the ice cream maker, thaw frozen ingredients first, as frozen food could damage ice cream paddles.
•Uncooked recipes will give you the best results when an electric mixer is used to cream the eggs and sugar. This helps increase the volume in the ice cream mixture.
•Most ice cream recipes are a combination of cream, milk, eggs and sugar. You may use any type of cream that you prefer, but the type of cream that you do use will affect the flavor and texture of the ice cream that you are making. The higher percentage of fat in the cream, the richer the ice cream and the softer the texture.
i.e. heavy cream has 35% fat, whipping cream has 30% fat, coffee or light cream has 18% fat, and half & half has 10% fat. Any combination may be used but the total liquid measurement must remain the same.
•Always start with liquid ice cream mixtures when preparation starts. Do not use stiff mixtures such as whipped cream or frozen liquids.
•Artificial sweeteners can be substituted for sugar. Please note though that heat affects the sweetness of the artificial sweetener. We recommend that you use artificial sweeteners to mixtures that are cold or that have been completely cooled. When a recipe calls for you to heat the liquid ingredients so that the sugar may dissolve, omit the heating process and simply stir in the artificial sweetener until it is thoroughly dissolved.
•Recipes that involve alcohol, the alcohol should be added in the last 10 (ten) minutes of the freezing process. As alcohol could slow down the freezing process.
•For sorbet, test the ripeness and sweetness of the fruit before you use it. Freezing process will make fruit less sweet. If the fruit is tart add sugar to the recipe.
•Do not operate the unit longer than required. If after 40 minutes the mixture is not yet solid or has thawed again, do not continue. Possible reasons for mixture not freezing:
-The freezer canister was not cold enough;
-The mixture was too warm, the proportion of the ingredients was not correct.
•Do not store prepared ice cream in the freezer canister for more than a few days.
