Kitchen gadget: Ice cream machine

I love ice cream and frozen yoghurt so much that, at any one time, I have no less than four or five flavours of either in my freezer. After discovering ice cream machines, my ice cream and frozen yoghurt budget was finally manageable and my flavour and experiment adventure began. On hot days, ice cream, gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt is a nice way to cool yourself down. 

Making ice cream or sorbet is easy and simple with an ice cream machine. A simple one features a locking motor mount, plastic bucket and aluminum canister.
