Mixing Containers
For mixing and sanitizing, it is recommended to
use the Hamilton Beach Stainless Steel Universal
Container, #110 E.
CAUTION: Do not use glass mixing containers.
Always use a collar with paper cups.
Mixing Soft-Serve Drink/Dessert
The amount of time required for mixing will depend
on the temperature of the soft-serve, overrun %, and
the type of flavoring ingredients. A basic soft-serve
mix recipe follows:
• 8-10 ounces (236-295 mL) soft-serve
• 1 1/2 ounces (45 mL) flavoring ingredients
Mixing Hard Ice Cream
The model HMD1000 can also handle mixing hard
ice cream and mix-ins. A basic recipe follows:
• 1/4 cup (60 g) cookies or candies, or other mix-ins
• Four rounded scoops, or approximately 12 ounces
(355 mL) hard ice cream
• 1/4 cup (60 mL) milk
Place mix-ins in container first. Add ice cream and
milk. Mixing time will depend on the consistency of
the ice cream.
