2.
Beat or whisk egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until thick and pale; gradually add the hot cream, beating constantly; return mixture to pan; stir over low heat 5 minutes or until mixture thickens; do not let boil; pour into a bowl, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent skin from forming, and leave to cool.

Remove from heat and add 1-2 tbsp of the hot milk to the egg yolks, mixing well; add more milk to eggs and bring it up to temperature.
3.
Pour egg mixture back into pan and continue to cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken and reaches 160 degrees (use a thermometer to measure), about 10-12 minutes.
4.
Place the pan in a sink or basin full of ice water to cool down, continuing to stir.
5.
When custard is just barely warm, stir in the cream and vanilla.
6.
Refrigerate mixture until ready to use.

Strawberry Ice Cream
6 tablespoons flour
3 cups sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups milk
6 eggs
1 1/ pints fresh strawberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups half & half cream
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
Dash red food coloring (optional)
Crushed Ice
Rock Salt
** Whole milk, half & half cream, and/or low-fat condensed milk may be used to lower the calories (these substitutions may effect how creamy your ice cream will turn out).
In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, and salt until well blended (I wire whisk works great). Blend in milk and eggs until well blended. Over medium-low heat, cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture (custard) thickens and will coat the back of a metal spoon with a thin film, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. On your instant-read cooking thermometer, the temperature should reach between 165 and 180 degrees F. NOTE: Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. If, of course by accident, your custard base does curdle, immediately remove from heat and place in a blender; process until smooth.
Remove from heat and let custard cool. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours but ideally for 24 hours. NOTE: Cool quickly by setting pan in ice or cold water and stirring for a few minutes. This aging process

How do you make ice cream with the ice cream maker?

We bought an ice cream maker from Wally and there was no instructions. I was told that I needed rock salt so I bought that but I don't know what the heck to do with it! Can't cook worth a crap and I suck in the kitchen so make the details as plain as possible! LOL!


Answer
First, make sure you have the kind of "ice cream maker" that uses rock salt, rather than the electric type that uses a pre-frozen "freezer bowl" that fits into the rest of the machine when you're ready to make the ice cream.
Here is the Wikipedia article explaining the difference between the types:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream_maker

If you truly have an ice cream maker that requires rock salt and hand cranking (or I guess some of those are electric for the cranking part), there are some how-to's in the links of these 2 searches:
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+ice+cream+maker+rock+salt
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+ice+cream+maker+rock+salt+recipes

If you have the other kind of ice cream maker though (electric), here are some instructions for that type:
http://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+"Ice+cream+maker"+freezer+-"rock+salt"+recipes
http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-2-Quart-Automatic-Cream-Makers/product-reviews/B00006363E/ref=pr_all_summary_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

You can get more recipes and the actual **manual** for your particular machine online usually too... this page has links for some of the more popular brands:

HTH, and have fun!

What are the best brands of ice cream makers?

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.
