Rite Aid or Thrifty Ice Cream Scoopers scoop, where can I find them?

reica

Rite Aid drug store, previously Thrifty's, have a special ice cream
scooper. It is stainless steel and makes cylinder-shaped ice cream
scoops. It has a trigger-like handle which is squeezed to push the ice
cream out. I have been trying to find an ice cream supplier that sells
these at wholesale price. I've contacted Rite Aid and they will sell
them for $100 each, which seems overpriced.

What is the best way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker?

small ice cream maker image

Novice Che

I've been waiting for my ice cream maker for weeks. I really want to make some mint chocolate ice cream for my husband who just arrived back home from a long deployment. Thanks!

Answer
From the book: Give Me a Home Where the Dairy Cows Roam - True Stories from a Wisconsin Farm. Coming Soon - Fall 2004)

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons vanilla

Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs for several minutes until thick and lemon colored. Add 1 cup of milk and blend into the eggs. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a large saucepan. Add egg/milk mixture to the sugar and cornstarch. Cook until thick (about 5 minutes) stirring constantly. Allow the custard mixture to cool to room temperature.

When the custard is cool, put into a freezer-safe bowl. Blend in cream and salt. Freeze for 2 hours or until slushy. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla. Whip for 5 to 10 minutes with an electric mixer. Return to freezer and finish freezing (several hours or overnight).


Variations:

After you have whipped the ice cream, fold in 1 to 2 cups of fresh or frozen fruit, nuts and/or chocolate before returning the ice cream to the freezer to finish freezing.


Here are some ideas for additions to your ice cream:
Strawberries
Blackberries
Raspberries
Peaches
Cherries (or Maraschino Cherries)
Chocolate chips
Butterscotch chips
Crushed Heath bars
Crushed peppermint candy
Chopped walnuts
Chopped pistachio nuts
Diced bananas
Coconut
Chocolate chip cookie dough (drop into the ice cream by small spoonfuls and carefully fold in) Caramel or chocolate or fudge syrup (drop into the ice cream by small spoonfuls and carefully fold in)

Do you really have to freeze ice cream after you make it in your ice cream maker?

serve ice cream bowls image

Tears and

If I just freeze the bowl, chill the mixture, and do everything else that the instructions of my ice cream maker tell me to do and churn the ice cream, can I just eat it when it's done churning instead of freezing it for eight hours first? Won't it be just like soft serve ice cream?

Answer
you don't have to freeze the ice cream. personally i hate it when ice cream is really frozen because i get cold really easily so i LOVE creamy ice cream. i think lots of people do. go ahead and do what you want, and see how it turns out!! It's worth a try, right? If you dont do it then its just a longer time you have to wait to try it and when you eventually do, you'll be so sad you didn't do it earlier. ;-)

What happens if you work out alot but still pig out?

ice cream jump image

Derrick G

I have been jump roping about 3 times a week for a half hour, and do 60 reps of push ups, scissor kicks and sit ups., my cardio and endurance is pretty good, but I eat like a pig, fast food ice cream etc.

What will happen to a persons body? Will it just get thicker with a layer of fat over the muscles? I still have a gut too, but my legs and arms are getting better toned. Can you eat crap junk food and still get in good shape?

Answer
No, that's a horrible routine, nutrition is what determines your progress in terms of fat-loss, exercise just speeds up the process.

Also, if you want to get toned you can't workout the same muscle daily, you'll overwork it and lose muscle mass, which will prevent it from showing better (which is the purpose of toning). Each muscle needs a minimum of 48 hours rest after the day you worked on it, so change your routine to fix it that way.

What will happen to a person's body? Increased cholesterol levels and risk for various diseases and health issues. You will have an increased bodyfat percentage as well.

If you want to tone you need to consume healthy foods, low in calories. Contrary to popular belief, fat-loss is not as simple as the calories consumed and the calories lost.

Your diet needs to be low-calorie, based around 40% protein (to maintain muscle mass), 30% low GI carbohydrates (proper function and energy), and 30% healthy fats (believe it or not, you need healthy fats for fat-loss). You need to get plenty of water as well. You should be having 3 small meals a day and 2-3 small snacks to speed up your metabolism.

Don't just go by calories, whether or not the food is healthy matters just as much, contrary to popular belief. Fat-loss is not as simple as the calories consumed and the calories lost.

Good sources of protein are lean meat, eggs, and fish. Good sources of carbohydrates are yam, sweet potatoes, and fruit. Good sources of healthy fats are avocados, fish, and nuts and seeds.

Best of luck!

How do I find out the value of something before I sell it on ebay?

gelato makers image

Glassy

I have a Williams-Sonoma Gelato Maker, model 994, that is practically in perfect condition, other than that it is about 20 years old. It works perfectly, but seriously, it weighs 30 pounds and I am tired of it taking up space in my cabinet. I would like to sell it on eBay, but I don't know what to start the bidding at because I have no idea what it was originally bought for. It was a hand-me-down from my mother-in-law, and she would shoot me if she thought that I was selling it. I talked to W-S about it, but they said that it's too old to tell and that they have current models that run from the $50's to over $300. Is there someone out there that would have a clue what this is worth?

Answer
Since there is no published value for it and the manufacturer doesn't have a clue, you're better off starting your auction at the minimum price you're comfortable with.

BUT, don't start it too high because not only do you pay more in listing fees but you will also scare off potential buyers from bidding. Since there are no similar models (in size, condition, age, features) to compare it to, it may not go for much if there isn't enough of a marketable interest or collectible value to it. I recommend starting it at $5 or $10 and see what happens. You never know. What you think it's worth is entirely different than what a buyer thinks it's worth.

As for shipping, make sure you box it up properly, then weigh and measure the entire package to get an idea of shipping costs. For an item that heavy, you're better off using a calculated shipping rate based upon the buyer's zip code instead of using a flat rate so you don't get screwed shipping to Podunkville that costs more to deliver than Podunktown.

What would you recommend eating after your wisdom teeth have been removed?

ice cream gift basket image

Ames

A friend is about to have her wisdom teeth removed and I want to make her a gift basket with stuff that she can eat and use.

Answer
get her soft foods - most are fridge stored, like custards, jelly, ice-cream - also, get her some bongella (teething gel) as it will help with the pain.
Pastas are also a good, soft food to eat to get a little more sustinance, also mashed potato (she shouldn't eat rice for a few weeks, either, as it can get caught in the hole left from the extraction)

How can I make my own Frozen Yogurt?

frozen yogurt maker image

davie

I would like to make my own frozen yogurt.
Do i use actual yogurt? or what?

Answer
Technically, frozen yogurt can be made as a Kulfi, or an ice cream. There are many methods used to make frozen yogurt at home. The primary difference is how we thicken the mixture. Here is one of those methods:

1. Yogurt cheese (Hung Dahi)
This eliminates the need for thickening the mixture. Basic steps follow:

Line a colander with multiple layers of cheese cloth. Pour Yogurt. Let it drain for nearly 6 to 8 hours.

Add sweeteners such as powdered sugar, honey, or corn syrup.

Add chopped nuts, fruits, and flavorings such as Kewra, Rose, Vanilla.

Mix well.

Make Kulfi or Ice cream in an ice cream maker.

Frozen Shrikhand will be the best example of Frozen Yogurt Kulfi

Why would homemade ice cream have little chunks of fat in it? (ice cream trouble shooting)?

electric churn image

Russ H

I made homemade ice cream in a old fashion machine with an electric churn and it came out with little globules of fat in it. My guess is that I did not cool the mixture enough before starting to churn it or that I churned it too long.
That is a question, not an answer ash. -Heavy cream, milk, honey, vanilla(bean), egg yolk
That is a question, not an answer ash. -Heavy cream, milk, honey, vanilla(bean), egg yolk

Answer
This totally happened to me. When you heat the cream and the milk with the vanilla bean and then you add the egg yolk, the heat from the milk mixture often cooks bits of the yolk. Also if you take the temperature of the cream even a little past scalding (tiny bubbles around the rim of pan) the cream can curdle a bit. Repeat your recipe exactly as you have already, only strain the mixture through a fine mesh colander before you chill and dump in the ice cream machine. And be sure the mixture for at least 3 hours before churning. MMMM...I think I need to break out my machine again, you have inspired me....

Does This Appliance Exist: Single Serve Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker?

single ice cream maker image

Q. I am looking for an appliance that will convert one serving of ready made ice cream to soft serve. So far everything I looked at is an ice cream maker (from scratch) that makes tons of servings. Is there anything that I can just put in one or two servings and have it come out to the smooth, twisty, soft-serve consistency? I just want to be able to easily have this at home instead of having to run to an ice cream place like DQ or wherever.

What are the best brands of ice cream makers?

countertop ice machine image

Cole

I want to buy an ice cream maker that works really well and is easy to use. What are some of the best brands to choose from in the $30 to $50 range?

Answer
Best budget ice-cream maker.Reviews say the countertop Cuisinart ICE-20 consistently delivers 1.5 quarts of creamy ice cream in about 20 minutes. The catch (as with all models under $100) is that you need to pre-freeze its gel-filled canister for 10 hours (depending on your freezer). An opening in the top makes adding ingredients simple, and the Cuisinart ice-cream maker cleans up easily. An automatic shut-off function prevents the motor from overheating. Users say this machine is a bit noisy, but it's quieter than its two-quart sibling, the Cuisinart ICE-30 (*est. $90). Compressor ice-cream makers don't need any pre-freezing, but they cost at least $150 more.

Freeze apricot mixture in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden.

Haagen Dazs Ice Cream - How To Start Your Own Profitable Ice Cream Business?

ice cream business image

Trisha M

Looking for competitive ice cream business plans & ideas. The success of Haagen Dazs ice cream over the years has been a childhood inspiration and a business motivation.

I want to start my own ice cream shop this summer.

Answer
Haagen-Dazs is a premium ice cream brand born off the dream of US-Polish immigrants. Starting an ice cream business of your own takes an eye for location and a passion for this evergreen summer indulgence.

Great location is the #1 factor for a profitable ice cream shop. Take a look at Ben & Jerry, Baskin-Robbins -- the way their shops are located in busy 'convergent' areas. Notice how they attract kids, adults and entire families in hordes -- the colors they use for their stores, the lighting, the atmosphere of joy, eagerness & happiness.

The best way to get into the ice cream business is by having a proper plan, expert certified. Jason Lexell is one such expert -- His ice cream business plan is a must-have for entrepreneurs as it shows you the How-Why-Where-When of starting an ice cream business.
