And $8,000.00 is the SALE price - regularly $15,569.00.
A bargain.
I didn’t use the ice cream maker, because it cost twice as much for ingredients as it did for already made. The stuff you make doesn’t have the emulsifiers so it gets ice crystals in it by the next day. To sum it up it was inconvenient, expensive and inferior product.
I don’t understand. You still have ice cream the next day? How is that possible?
Seconded.
I use my ice cream maker at least once per week. I’ve got a quart of Chocolate Mint Chocolate Chip in the freezer and another quart of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough in the freezer. They’ll be gone by the end of the week.
Every single ingredient in ice cream except sugar is an emulsifier. Cream, milk, egg yolks, butter (for the heretics).
Store ice cream uses seaweed extract emulsifier, that is why it isn’t all ice crystals.
My sister (who lives with us now) uses her ice cream maker all the time, god bless her. Cake-batter-ice-cream is just about the best thing ever. Of course, she also makes rose-water-ice-cream which makes me want to puke.
Are you storing the ice cream properly? My sister makes huge batches, and her leftovers never get those yucky crystals.
We have an icecream maker that we have never used. We have 2 woks. She never used , She bought one ,didn’t use it. then felt the need to buy another one.
I wouldn’t mind an ice-cream maker, but then I’d be making low-carbohydrate ice cream. It’s actually even easier to find the stuff in a store than it was when such diets were a fad, but the selection is still somewhat poor. Blue Bunny makes various novelties that are pretty good and both Breyer’s and Dreyer’s sell either low-carb marketed or no-sugar-added 1.75 quart tubs but the selection is limited.
Here’s a caterers tip on how to keep ice cream;
Did you ever notice when you buy ice cream and open it there is either a piece of paper/plastic covering it or the carton has been sufficiently filled to insure that the ice cream meets the flap of the box?
Well that didn’t happen by accident. Believe it or not that piece of paper/plastic touching the top of the ice cream is what keeps it from crystallizing in the freezer before you buy it. You probably throw it away, or use up the ice cream and it no longer meets the flap.
The solution is quite easy, after you’ve scooped all you’re going to, use the scoop or other implement to smooth the surface of the ice cream flatish, now put a piece of saran right against the ice cream.
Now, even if you don’t get back to it for a month it will still be just as yummy as when first opened.

What I really came in here to say was what a fabulous idea a Doper Garage Sale is!!!
Yes, I realize it is not without some logistical issues, but we’re clever people, we could overcome them.
Why yes I do have a virtually unused food vacuum sealer, why do you ask?
I’m actually really interested in a vacuum food sealer, though I was able to resist the one that I saw on sale? Why? Because I am too near broke to be buying things, even things I think I will use regularly. And I don’t have anything to contribute to the garage sale. Except a fall/winter hat.
However, I feel for the OP and others who have posted similar stories. I imagine it must be very tough to be involved (in some way) with a person who ties up a lot of money in stuff they do not use.
Can I have them? I’ve worn a hole in mine.
That commercial is abso-fucking-lutely the most disgusting thing on TV. When the bitch dumbs her foot crumbs in the office garbage can, bagless no less.
I just went out and bought a mattress and box spring yesterday. Before going out, I looked on the Macy’s site to get an idea of what beds cost at department stores. I was astounded to learn that you can pay over ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for a mattress! I don’t understand it, either.
Incidentally, I didn’t go to a department store, but a discount bedding store, spent $500, and got the frame thrown in for free. It’s too soon to tell, but this might be the best bed I’ve ever slept on. I can’t imagine how much better sleep I could get if I spent ten and a half grand more.
The price might be tied to longevity. We bought a mattress similar to yours. 4 years later, we had to ditch the box springs because they’d all broken on one side. We’re going on year 7 now and the mattress still scraggles along, floppy and uncomfortable.
'Course, me and the husband are fat.
And in order to get one PedEgg, you have to pay shipping on the complimentary one, making the order $23.98 instead of the $10 advertised price. Fuck that!
Umm, What the hell is a vertical grill?
:eek: makes a note to buy ice cream after work
:eek:
Sexual favors. You get three.
