| 1237961 | 2011-10-17 00:31:00 | Hi folks With the cost of icecream being so expensive nowadays has anyone had expereince with icecream makers. Are they worth the extra effort involved - I would imagine it is cheaper than buying good quality icecream. Anyone got a favourite recipe for icecream makers? TIA Smithie |

| 1237964 | 2011-10-17 03:30:00 | In our experience, a lot of effort for only two small servings of ice cream. We have not used it for many months and prefer to buy ice cream when it is on special (or frozen desserts). | user (1404) | ||
| 1237965 | 2011-10-17 03:54:00 | EasiYo make a low fat icecream mix.....add water...freeze...melt slightly to sorbay consistency....beat with a powerful beater....freeze. A packet of Chocolate icecream mix makes up to 3 litres, vanilla somewhat less. Costs $40 for 10 packets online, free delivery. For some reason local supermarkets stopped selling it several years ago. www.yogurt2you.com |

| 1237967 | 2011-10-17 06:28:00 | I use our one to make sorbets from the excess of fruits our trees produce, plum and feijoa sorbets are wonderful through summer | lagbort (5041) | ||
| 1237968 | 2011-10-17 08:28:00 | Thanks guys for your comments. Most probably will try making some without a machine and see what happens. All your input was much appreciated though. Terry we might try the EasiYo product. | smithie 38 (6684) | ||
| 1237969 | 2011-10-17 09:02:00 | You could get a Sunbeam ice cream churning machine for about $60 ... Without machine, you may get ice forming on the ice cream. The supposedly instructions is that you are suppose to beat it often to prevent it happening. fwiw here is a recipe without needing a machine. www.bbc.co.uk |

| 1237970 | 2011-10-17 23:04:00 | Thanks guys for your comments. Most probably will try making some without a machine and see what happens. I tried that once, it worked well, but having to beat it manually for an hour or whatever wasn't a huge amount of fun. |
