Definitely! Go for it.... Even if all you do is pour a big jar of fruit yoghurt into it and freeze that (which is gorgeous)....

I think so – I use mine all the time! That way I can make flavors that aren’t readily available here. The beer sorbet is always a hit at parties

Well… Most store-bought ice cream is crap so I would go for it.

i don’t think so… half the fun is going to the ice cream parlor and having it made for you.

my friend got me one. They’re a lot of hassle, bit of a gimmick if you ask me!!!! Give me tesco’s finest cookies and cream icecream any day!!!

How often do you have icecream?
For me, it’s about once a year, so not worth it.
If you have icecream every night then consider it.

They are worth every penny!
Homeade ice cream is even better than bluebell!
I LOVE IT

I think so it costs less money to buy the ingredients to make ice cream than it does to buy it from the store and the stuff you make at home is much better for you. You know what you put into it. Think about it.

They are great if you do some outdoor entertaining or have children. Those new little indoor ones with the frozen tub aren’t half as good as the old outdoor, ice and salt versions.
A lot times homemade icecream is about the memories it stirs up and the memories it creates.

No. You can live without ice cream. You do not need to buy at the store or buy an ice cream maker. You buy them to have something to do at a party. There is a recipe for ice cream which uses plastic bags, milk, cream, salt and ice. It works just as well at a party.

It all depends on how often you want to eat ice cream.
They save you time and effort.
If your a busy person they will do the job and give you a chance to turn your hand to something else.

Boy, does that bring back memories! All our birthdays were in May, and our big treat was homemade ice cream. Even before they had the electric ice cream makers, when you had to hand crank them, it was worth it!

i like using empty coffee cans.
super cheap,travelable,easy-it’s the best.

I use mine very rarely. It’s just much easier to buy ice cream now-a-days. You have to buy the salt, milk and extras for making ice cream. It doesn’t stay frozen like regular ice cream, and melts easily. You can buy powered ice cream and just add milk with ice cream makers. If you want to have some fun and try different things it’s worth it. But actually I don’t know anyone that has one that uses theirs all the time. If you have kids, they really enjoy making it. Kids are always curious about where or how things are made. I wouldn’t buy an expensive one, because in the end it will probably only gather dust. One good thing I learned from making ice cream is that the rock salt you use can be poured on poison ivy and it will kill it.

yes especially the ones used to make manually – its great to have the family together on sundays making ice cream.

Here…make your own without and ice cream maker:

No – along with the toasted sandwich maker, breadbaker, waffle iron, pasta machine and "PieMagic", it’s destined to die in the dust of your kitchen cupboard, alone and unloved.
Sure, making your own is satisfying, but with a bit of patience and a decently powerful jug blender – or even a lot of patience and a fork – you can make your own without one. Simply freeze the ingredients in a shallow dish, and mash/whizz it every couple of hours to break up the ice crystals.

I think that if you make lots of icecream and like experimenting making flavours which can’t be bought in the shops then I think am icecream maker will give better results than trying to make it without one, but if you don’t really make icecream very often then you might be as well off buying it from the shop. After all the manufacturer have had years of experience making icecream and it tastes good.
