House of Representatives

Ice cream maker

A domestic ice cream maker is a machine used to make small quantities of ice cream for personal consumption. Ice cream makers may prepare the mixture by employing the hand-cranking method or by employing an electric motor. The resulting preparation is often chilled through either pre-cooling the machine or by employing a machine that freezes the mixture.

An ice cream maker has to simultaneously freeze the mixture while churning it so as to aerate the mixture and avoid ice crystals. As a result, most ice creams are ready to consume immediately. However, those containing alcohol must often be chilled further to attain a firm consistency.

Some machines, such as certain lower-priced countertop models, require the resulting mixture to be frozen for additional time after churning is complete.

History

Around 1836, Augustus Jackson, an African American confectioner, achieved fame for creating multiple ice cream recipes and pioneering a superior ice cream preparation technique and decoration.
