Product Description

Amazon.com Review

For a century and a half, since a woman in New York invented the hand-crank freezer, making ice cream has been an American family value. Mom blended the ice cream mixture; Dad filled the maker's wooden tub with ice and rock salt to achieve the below-freezing temperature needed to produce smooth confections; kids clamored to turn the crank; and everyone happily consumed big bowls of ice cream as a reward. This family-bonding activity remains as vibrant today as it was through a century-and-a-half of "progress." With various ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet recipes included, this old-fashioned White Mountain ice cream maker maintains the tradition. Only the use of modern stainless steel for the freezer can and dasher and the electric motor distinguish this rugged maker from the one earlier generations enjoyed. And years from now it will still be used, knitting together a family's history. --Fred Brack

I remember from a very young age my parents making incredible ice cream out of a White Mountain. In the past 15 years, I tried using 3 different types of ice cream makers but it was never the same as my mothers. She always told me it was because of her White Mountain. So, I purchased one! I had a problem with the bucket which apparently is extremely rare. My mom had hers for over a decade. I contacted the company. I didn't have a receipt or other proof of purchase. They literally mailed me a new one (after two years of use) without proof of purchase! Then, they mailed me a label to send back the defective one. This one looks great and works well also. Here are some tips:

Before you make ice cream fill up wooden bucket with water. It should hold the water and make the wood swell. This will help make great ice cream.

After you make the ice cream pack it well. My parents put the wooden bucket INSIDE a larger plastic bucket. Then they pack materials around the wooden bucket and place a heavy blanket on top of the ice cream maker after the ice cream is done. The ice cream comes out very solid, sometimes too hard to scoop out!

After you enjoy your ice cream, pour out the salt water and rinse very well. Wash with soap and water. Then dry with a towel.

Often, my mother rubs a little oil around the metal rings and the at the bottom inside of the metal to make sure it doesn't rust.

If you take good care of it you should have it for years and years.

I would nicely like to disagree with the review above. We have two ice cream makers and if you take care of them properly they will last forever. We have had one for over 15 years and the bucket is still good. All that need to be done is for the bucket to be washed out after use. I recommend this great product!

Simply put, an awesome churn for home-made ice cream. I have an old hand-crank that I had always used to make the best ice cream, but it was a lot of work - churning fast at the beginning and then slowing down as the cream transformed. With this churn, the motor is variable in its speed and churns at an excellent fast speed to begin; then, as the cream solidifies and freezes, the motor changes pitch and slows down to give you a wonderfully whipped and smooth cream. I even made ice cream using just whole milk and peppermint sticks and it still turned out great. Highly recommended and much better than any other electric churn you can buy. I've had two other electric churns - neither of them could hold a candle to the White Mountain.
