I can’t imagine I’d eat enough of the stuff to justify it

You bring shame to Canada, where ice cream is a 4 season food group.

Nope but I had two turbo chef i3’s, an auto fryer and 2 each of commercial 2 drawer under the counter refrigerator and freezer. Wife wanted them gone because they took up too much space and she was worried about replacement cost down the road. nothing beats cooking a frozen pizza in 3 minutes. Or deep frying your own chicken wings.

Saw an auction form for a small franchisee that went under. Wanted to get a bread maker oven. Then saw an ice cream chest. Can fit 12 four gallon ice cream tubs in it.

Soft serve is reconstituted powdered garbage.

I have eaten a pint of Haagen Dazs premium ice cream every night for years and never gained a pound.

If I had a machine at my house I’d weigh 500 pounds...


(So I’d lose some weight)

In high school I worked at a Carvel. Those machines were bulletproof.

Like anything, though, the trick to satisfying results is the quality of the ingredients going into the mix hopper and your skill in controlling overrun.

I love me some DQ. Having a machine in my house would be bad.

DQ uses Vitamix. As an owner of the 7500, highly recommended. You can even make fresh, hot soup in 5 mins from the heat generated by the motor.

Same here. Vanilla Swiss Almond is my favorite. I've been enjoying it since 1986!

Swiss Vanilla almond is great, but I didn't like reading the ingredients. I think I recall it had corn syrup in it, in fact that's what lead me to start making my own ice cream.
