People with ice cream makers........

[jojo76]

Do you use it much? i really want one but dont know if i will actually use it!!!! i cant afford the really expensive one, but there are lots of models on ebay going cheap, which do you recommend?

My DH's parents bought him one 2 years ago (he likes ice cream but not an addict or anything) and we've put it in a cupboard and every now and a gain have said "oh - we haven't used that ice cream maker yet have we?" It was a good idea but I didn't think many blokes would actually want an ice cream maker as his main birthday pressie - unless his name is Mr Whippy!

I have a Magimix one and have only used it once.

However I have a friend with a Phillips one and she uses it all the time and the ice cream is gorgeous.

We used ours a lot when we had a restaurant. It is now in storage but DH wants to get it out again so he and ds can make more gorgeous icecream and sorbet!

i will be FAT this summer!!

Ours is a proper expensive one.

I am on my third one!! I've burnt the motors out of two over the years so, yes, I use it a lot. However I bought this one from a friend who was inspired by eating my ice-cream but she only used it twice in 2 years so I may be in the minority!
The only drawback I can think of is that you get VERY fussy about shop bought ice-cream as the home-made stuff is so good

Mine have all been cheapy ones.
