Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Rival 8550-X 5-Quart Wooden Electric Ice Cream Maker

Customer Review: Hand churned ice cream the easy way
Summary: 5 Stars

Terrific purchase; makes old fashioned type ice cream without the hand cranking. We've made ice cream every week since purchasing and the neighbors love it! I make it when convenient, remove the dasher, dispose of the water and ice, and put the metal bucket in the freezer, then enjoy until the last bite. Yes, the motor can be noisy, so what, plan ahead and make it a day or two before and freeze. Plus freezing a day before eleminates having to wait for the ice cream to 'set up' and you end up with a good consistancy perfect for scooping out. We love our Rival Ice Cream Maker. No problems with any part of it, except anticipated weight gain!

Description of Rival 8550-X 5-Quart Wooden Electric Ice Cream Maker

Rival 5 QT, Wood Bucket Ice Cream Maker, Auto Shut Off When Ready, Includes Recipes, High Quality Wood Bucket.
While this wooden ice cream maker looks old-fashioned, it's actually electric, taking the arm work out of the whole process. In just 20 to 40 minutes, the maker produces up to five quarts (approximately 40 servings) of ice cream, sorbet, or frozen yogurt. The high-torque motor shuts off automatically when freezing is complete. All that's required is rock salt, ice, and the desired mixture of any flavor (a recipe booklet is included). The Rival ice cream maker consists of the motor unit, a 10-by-11-1/2-inch wooden bucket, a metal ice cream can with plastic lid, a cork stopper for the hole in the lid, and a plastic dasher with a metal shaft. A latch system secures the motor unit to the bucket, and a 45-inch cord allows good reach to a power outlet.

To make good old vanilla ice cream, spiced cider sorbet, frozen strawberry yogurt, and many other tasty treats, the mixture is poured into the metal can, the dasher inserted, lid placed on, and motor unit engaged with the dasher shaft. The dasher does not turn during the freezing process; rather, the can turns around the dasher. Layers of ice and rock salt inside the wooden bucket around the can keep the temperature low enough to freeze the mixture. In case of leakage through the wooden bucket, it's a good idea to have newspaper or a plastic tub underneath. To harden ice cream, the dasher is removed after churning is complete, the cork stopper inserted into the lid, and ice and rock salt are packed over the entire can for a couple hours. All the parts except the motor unit should be washed and dried by hand. Rival covers the ice cream maker with a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
