Tutorial on Using the Ice Cream Machine Model BQL168
- The entire process of making ice cream with an ice cream machine, starting from when you first receive the machine
- Unpacking and Inspection
- Carefully unpack the ice cream machine, check if all parts (such as the mixing bowl, mixing paddle, lid, base, etc.) are complete according to the instruction manual, and ensure there is no damage during transportation.
- Clean all detachable parts with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry them completely to avoid residual water affecting the ice cream texture.
- Preparing the Machine
- For machines with a freezer bowl (most home ice cream makers), place the mixing bowl in the freezer 24-48 hours in advance to ensure it is fully frozen (the bowl should feel extremely cold and there should be no liquid sloshing inside when shaken).
- For compressor ice cream makers (no pre-freezing required), simply place the machine on a flat, stable surface and plug it in to preheat (if needed as per the manual).
- Preparing the Ice Cream Mixture
- Prepare the ingredients according to your recipe (common ingredients include milk, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, etc.).
- Heat and mix the ingredients as required (e.g., making a custard base by heating milk and cream, then tempering with beaten eggs and sugar, then cooling).
- Chill the prepared mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to ensure it is thoroughly cold (this helps the ice cream freeze faster and have a smoother texture).
- Churning the Ice Cream
- Assemble the machine: Attach the mixing paddle to the base, place the frozen bowl (or the compressor machine’s bowl) onto the base, and secure the lid.
- Turn on the machine, then slowly pour the chilled mixture into the bowl through the opening in the lid.
- Let the machine churn the mixture for 20-30 minutes (depending on the machine model and recipe). The mixture will gradually thicken into a soft-serve consistency.
- Hardening the Ice Cream
- Once the mixture reaches a soft, spoonable texture, turn off the machine and remove the mixing paddle.
- Transfer the soft ice cream to an airtight container. You can add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit at this stage and gently fold them in.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals) and place it in the freezer for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) to harden to a firm texture
- Cleaning Up
- Unplug the machine and disassemble the parts. Clean all detachable components with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry.
- Wipe the base of the machine with a damp cloth (do not immerse it in water).
- Store all parts in a dry place for future use.
