Overview
The Nostalgia ICMP4BL is an ice and rock salt electric ice cream maker with a 4 quart capacity. An electric motor turns the paddle inside an aluminum canister while the plastic outer bucket holds the ice and salt mixture, so there is no hand cranking involved.
- 4 quart capacity
- Locking motor mount keeps parts secure while churning
- Easy to clean plastic bucket
- Included recipes in the manual
Who it's for
Families making occasional batches of homemade ice cream, frozen yogurt or gelato who don't mind the ice and rock salt setup. Not the choice for anyone who needs a guaranteed working unit for a single event with no time to troubleshoot.
Pros and cons
- No manual cranking required
- Aluminum canister resists the rust older steel models developed
- See through lids double as freezer storage covers
- Works with the brand's ready made mix line
- At least one buyer received a unit with a motor that never worked
- Requires ongoing ice and rock salt, not a self contained freezer bowl
Performance notes
You pack ice and rock salt around the filled aluminum canister, and the motor churns the mixture for roughly 45 minutes to an hour until it reaches a soft serve consistency.
