There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm glad that she did it anyways in retrospect.
I had visions of this ball taking up space in my cabinets for years without us ever using it, however, it has made quite a bit of ice cream.
I use it now more than her.
I like that the container is only one pint, so I'm not making a whole lot at once. It doesn't take a lot of ingredients to turn out some decent ice cream.
It's surprisingly fun.
You fill the bottom with ice and salt.
You fill the top with heavy cream or coconut cream or whatever -add sugar and cocoa powder or vanilla and it turns out pretty damn good every time.
I grew up with automatic ice cream makers and ice cream makers that had like a gel pack and all kinds of silly things with crank handles because my dad had dreams of making his own cream at home but he never really did. These things collected dust. Store bought ice cream is perfectly good. The whole idea of making ice cream to me sounds like a miserable chore.
Because it's a ball, it doesn't really feel like work and we just started eating the concoctions straight out of the ball which is fine. I was wrong to argue with her when she wanted to buy this. Im converted. You should buy one. Or don't. I don't care.

En resumen, sirve pero es impráctica y la goma que la cubre es difícil de limpiar, todo el polvo o basuritas se le quedan pegadas, tardo más lavándola que usándola
