Troubleshooting
The canister or

d turning during
the churning
process.
Jamming of the canister or dasher can be due to
one of the following causes:
Ice may have caused a blockage in the wooden
bucket. Turn off the motor
and make sure that the
ice in the bucket is
broken up into small, coarse
pieces. The plastic stirrer provided can be used to
break up any blockages that may occur.
If the mixture has become too thick, the dasher
may
become stuck. The mixture in the
canister should
never become thicker than
the consistency of soft-
serve ice cream.
If there are hard pieces in the mixture, such as
nuts
or chocolate chips, they may cause the
dasher to
become lodged in
the canister. It is best to add any
such
ingredients to your ice cream after the churning
process is complete. Another suggestion is to use
finely chopped ingredients, such as grated
chocolate
in place of chocolate chips.
Be sure that once you start churning your ice
cream,
you DO NOT stop. Stopping can
cause the ice cream
to harden around the
edge of the canister, which will
restrict the
movement of the dasher and may cause it to
become stuck.
If the dasher becomes stuck, check to see if the
mixture has frozen around the
inside edges of the
mixing canister. If it

Actual ice cream will always taste less sweet than
the mixture. You may adjust the amount of sugar
in the recipe to suit your taste, keeping in mind that
after the freezing process, the sweetness of the ice
cream will be lessened.

Because home-made ice cream lacks many of the
preservatives that come in store-bought ice cream,
it does not store as well. Usually home-made ice
cream will last about one week when stored in a
freezer
To keep ice cream its freshest, place it in an
airtight plastic container before storing it in
the freezer.
