A Nifty Ice Cream Maker and other Chef Gadgets

The one I've ordered hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm already thrilled by this gadget, based on the testimonials of other users. It's a new-fangled, hand-cranked ice cream maker. You put it in the freezer the night before you plan to make ice cream (or sorbet or frozen yogurt) and a liquid substance in the device freezes hard, so you don't have to use crushed ice and salt to whip up a batch of old-fashioned homemade ice cream. I like the fact that it's hand cranked. My kitchen is already overloaded with electric appliances.

Mine will arrive shortly, just in time for summer fruit season. You can order one of your own. Or check out one of the other ice cream machines, along with dehydrators, juicers, woks, salad spinner, graters, knives and various and sundry other kitchen gadgets, that you'll find in the Seasonal Chef Culinary Supply Store.
