Once you are done churning, the icy cold brine can be used in
a second container to keep ice cream cold while making more
batches. Be careful if you are outdoors: salt is deadly to plants!
•
The brine should be kept at 8-12 degrees Fahrenheit to provide
the rapid cooling and freezing needed to make smooth, creamy
ice cream. The best way to know the temperature of your brine is
to use a compost thermometer with a long probe. The second best
way is to plunge your hand in and see if it is unbearably cold.
•
Salt is corrosive, be careful not to kill plants when churning outdoors.
Protect work surfaces with newspaper, and use a glass or plastic
measuring cup for rock salt.
•
Use rubber gloves to protect your hands from cold and salt.
•
Prepare an ice cream base the day before your event, giving it plenty
of time to chill overnight.
•
If switching from churning to blending with Fender Blender Pro,
remove the belt, or secure the belt with velcro (a), to ensure that it
won't rub and scuff the wheel cover.
CARE AND CLEANING
How to clean the Icycleta and Fender Blender Pro frame:
Clean the frame immediately after use to avoid rust from the salty
brine. Wipe the frame with a sponge or cloth, using soap and water
or a non-toxic all-purpose cleaner. Dry with a clean rag immediately
after washing.
How to clean the canister after use:
The stainless steel canister, its dasher, and lid are all dishwasher safe,
but keep the canister on the top rack, and do not use extremely hot
water. Hand wash away all salt from the components’ metal parts
beforehand. Bleach can be used to sanitize the canister.
How to care for the chain:
After cleaning, apply lube to the chain. We recommend Boeshield T-9.
This brand is both an effective chain lube, and a general anti-rust spray
that protects the frame.
