Delving into the world of ice cream creation, we find Carpigiani UK Ltd, a direct trading subsidiary of Carpigiani Ali Spa, renowned as a leading manufacturer in ice cream equipment for over 70 years. They offer a wide range of products, including the innovative SLUSH PUPPiE Ice Cream Maker, which can create 1 pint of soft scoop ice cream, perfect for home use.
Historically, from the 17th century, ice cream in Britain was made using a simple sorbetière—a lidded pewter jar in a wooden bucket. However, modern machines offer remarkable convenience and efficiency. For instance, the McDonald’s Taylor machines employ a unique “heat treatment” process, eliminating the need for daily disassembly and cleaning, unlike other ice cream machines. This innovation ensures that any leftover contents are not wasted.
The process of making ice cream with these modern machines is straightforward. Begin by placing the canister from the machine into the freezer a day before you intend to make the ice cream. Kolice CE Commercial’s 52x52cm Single Square Ice Pan Fry Rolled Ice Cream Machine is an example of such equipment, which allows you to simply pour the ice cream mix onto a pre-frozen surface, let it set, and then roll it into delicious servings.
Another notable model is the Carpigiani GK3, a high-output soft ice cream machine capable of serving approximately 160 portions per hour. It’s not just about quantity; these machines ensure the highest quality of ice cream, with fantastic profit margins of up to 80%. This makes ice cream one of the highest profit generators in any foodservice business. Whether it’s a small batch of homemade vanilla ice cream or a large serving for a corporate event, these machines cater to all needs.
Finally, for those who love to experiment, the Andrew James Ice Cream Maker Machine allows for the creation of ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen yoghurt right in your own kitchen. With removable and washable parts, it offers both convenience and a wide range of dessert options.
