Nostalgia 4-Quart Electric Ice Cream Maker Review

I used a total of 6lbs of ice and about 1 cup of salt for my 6 cups of ice cream mixture.
Wash bucket, canister, lid, lid cap and dasher with warm soapy water and dry. They are not dishwasher safe. Chill Ice Cream Mixture for a few hours. Chill Canister until cold to the touch.
Pour chilled ice cream mixture into chilled canister. Do not fill more than ⅔ full. Put dasher in the middle. Cover with lid. Place canister in the middle of the bucket. Put about 6 cups of ice (smaller cubes or crushed) into bucket around the canister. Add ½ cup salt (any kind) on top of ice. Add more ice and salt. Fill below the drainage hole on bucket. Put motor on top and slid tabs into slots on bucket. Plug in and run for 30 minutes. After 10 to 15 mins, check and add more ice or salt if necessary. Also, stir ice and salt if you need to. Unplug unit. Remove motor. Wipe top of canister and remove from bucket. Ice cream will be soft serve consistency. Transfer to another airtight container and freeze until hard.

I just recently bought this ice cream maker and I’ll say if it weren’t for this video I would of jumped to the conclusion that this product was bad, thank you for helping amateurs like myself be well informed on how to properly use this.

Just picked this one up at Walmart for $20 and thanks to your video I now know how to set it up and use it. The directions that came with the unit lacked a lot of the setup and process. Thanks.

Thank you "best kitchen reviews" for this video It helped me immensely after I read all the instructions. BTW, the instructions called the bucket the canister & the canister the bucket, so you really cleared this up for me 😁🥳🍧🍦🍨thnx again

Just bought this at Kohls. Replacing my old one that was stolen in storage. These old school ice cream makers are soo much better than anything they've come out with since this style. My grandparents used this style, and I still have all their recipes. It reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for the great review. ❤

Hey, just wanted to let you know that you saved my Xmas tonite.
We have the Blue Nostagia maker like in your video, but we couldnt get the blade to turn. Then I saw you put the lid on the canister first then connect it to the motor and it worked! We were all bummed out about not getting any ice cream .... until i watched your video. It saved the night! We now have nice homemade eggnog flavored ice cream!! Yum. Thank you!

I recently bought an ice cream maker and the instructions didn't really mention how you put layers of ice and salt in the bucket in layers and how much of each and how to do it, they were very vague and didn't really explain any of that end of it. If it weren't for ' how - to ' videos like this, amateurs like me would be lost. Thanks for providing this video.

Her: Half a cup

Her: (pours half the container of salt in)
Me: 👁👄👁

Thank you for this video. I just received this item today. It really helps to have a visual to go along with the instructions!

Don't even use table salt. Rock salt is the only way to go

[turmantrucking]

She used 6 lbs of ice and 40lbs of salt

There's a lot of the cheap ice cream makers that that only require you to freeze the canister before churning you're usually limited between one and a half to two quarts. I just got one of these Nostalgia ice cream makers at a yard sale I can't wait to use it.

Exactly what i needed to see done before i felt comfortable ❤

[blueflash]

For those of you who do not know, the salt is added to the ice to help it freeze. Did you think she added salt to the ice cream mixture? Good grief.

[rbhusana]

I got this one. The motor didn't stop, when the ice cream got stiff, the paddle in the middle started to slip and grind the plastic. I added an inline switch to the cord so I could turn it on and off without unplugging it.

[arsalmonar]

What's in the ice cream mix in the bag? Kind of a crucial detail, lol

HALF A CUP OF SALT. LET ME PROCEED TO EMPTY THESE CONTENTS.

[gigglehertz]

Mine didn't have the manual in the box but I've seen my aunts use one many times growing up. Best part is you can make whatever you want - cardamom is amazing.

[guysolis]

When expensive doesn't really mean the best! I think I could rig one of these up using a bucket, an inner container and a Dwalt cordless drill with the paint mixer attachment..thanks for the idea!

[redneckonroadtrips]

I'd hate to see what her idea of a "pinch of salt' is!!

[brandonw]

"Half a cup of salt" pours 8 cups
