Problem Solutions
The canister and/or dasher
jammed or stopped during the
churning process.
Jamming of the canister or dasher may be due to one of the following issues:
• Ice may have caused a blockage in the wooden bucket. Stop churning by turning off the motor or ceasing use of
the hand crank and check that the ice in the bucket is broken up into small, coarse pieces. The plastic stir stick can
be used to break up any blockages that may occur.
• If the dasher becomes stuck, check to see if ice cream is done churning. Homemade ice cream should have the
consistency of a milk shake.
• If there are hard pieces in the ice cream mixture (such as chocolate chips or nuts) they may cause the dasher to
become jammed. It is best to add any such ingredients roughly 30 minutes into the churning process.
• Check the freezing canister to see if the ice cream mixture has frozen around the edges. If it has, use a spatula or
plastic spoon to scrape the edges and break up the frozen ice cream. The dasher should work normally once the
edges are clear.
The ice cream mixture tasted ne,
but after churning it does not taste
the same.
Actual ice cream will always taste less sweet than the initial mixture. The amount of sugar in the recipe can be adjusted
to suit personal tastes, keeping in mind the freezing process will lessen the sweetness of the nal ice cream.
The ice cream went bad when
stored in the freezer.
Because homemade ice cream lacks many of the preservatives that come in store-bought ice cream, it does not store
well. Usually homemade ice cream will last about one week when stored properly.
To keep ice cream at its freshest, place it in an airtight plastic container and store it in the freezer.
