Cleaning Your Old-Fashioned Ice Cream Maker - Back to Basics OLD-FASHIONED Manual De Instrucciones

texture of the ice cream. When substituting ingredients, be sure the total liquid
measurement remains the same as the original recipe.
•
Homemade ice cream will taste less sweet than the ice cream base mixture. If
your ice cream is not sweet enough, you can adjust the amount of sugar used,
keeping in mind that the sweetness will be lessened during the freezing
process.
•
Artificial sweeteners may be used to replace sugar in a recipe. Add only to a
cooled ice cream base mixture as heat affects the sweetness.
•
For recipes containing alcohol, manually add the alcohol after the completion of
the freezing cycle. Alcohol can adversely affect the freezing process if added
too early. Do not attempt to restart the motor to mix after adding alcohol.
•
The ice cream mixture must be liquid before freezing. Do not use stiff or frozen
ingredients such as whipped cream or frozen liquids or juices.
•
Ice cream should be stored in airtight containers in the freezer. Do NOT store in
the freezing canister.
•
If you would like to make your ice cream harden more, when churning is
finished, remove the mixing paddle and place the lid on the canister.
Place in the freezer for about half an hour to harden. Do not leave in the
freezer for longer.
•
Or, leave the canister in the wooden bucket and remove the mixing
paddle from the canister. Add more ice to the ice/salt mixture. Cover
with a towel and let it sit until the ice cream is firm.
•
Possible reasons for the ice cream mixture not freezing properly:
•
The mixture was too warm. Ingredients, freezing canister, lid, and paddle
should be chilled prior to mixing and should be kept refrigerated until
ready to freeze in the ice cream maker.
•
The proportion of ingredients was incorrect. Check your recipe carefully
and if substitutions were made, be sure the total liquid ingredients are
equal to the original recipe.
•
Using too little rock salt inhibits the freezing process. Using too much
rock salt can cause the mixture to freeze too quickly causing ice crystals
to form in the ice cream.
•
Do not stop during the churning process. This can cause ice crystals to
form and will cause a grainy texture.

LEANING
1. Press the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF." Unplug the ice cream maker before
cleaning.
2. Wipe the electric motor with a slightly damp cloth. Do NOT immerse motor unit
in water or any other liquid.
3. Clean wooden bucket thoroughly with soapy sponge to remove salt-water
residue. Rinse thoroughly, and let air dry. Note: Some stain may come off of
the bucket during use and cleaning; this is normal. Check to make sure the
outside of the bucket is free of salt or water, to prevent corrosion of the metal
bands.
4. Wash the freezing canister, lid, mixing paddle, and plastic stir stick with hot,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not replace the lid until the freezing
canister is completely dry.
