Foot crumbs?
:shudder:
I no longer use my ice cream maker, for the simple reason it works too well. I have no resistance whatever to homemade gelato, so I just stopped using the damn thing. So mine sits unused, not because I got bored with playing with it, but because I needed to lose weight.
BTW, egg yolk is an emulsifier for ice cream. If you make the kind of ice cream that is just milk and cream and sugar, I don’t see how you can avoid ice crystals. Another trick to reducing the ice crystal factor even when you make the eggy ice cream is to replace part of the granulated sugar with liquid sugar, i.e., corn syrup or maple syrup. There’s something about it that keeps ice crystals from forming.
I got mine at Giant Eagle for $9.99 
With savings like that, I’d be a fool not to buy one. And if I had any lingering doubts, it received universal praise: 1 out of 1 reviewers gave it five stars!
Yeah, like dried toe jam…ewww
Do you dump your footcrumbs into an office garbage can with no bag? Or an empty ash tray maybe? Are you nasty like the nasty bitches on the commercial whose feet look like they stomped on broken beer bottles and then fire walked for far too long?
The lines on the steak run 90 degree to normal. 
The only way the pedegg would be any good is if they made it to set on the floor and vibrate like an electric sander, with a Shop-Vac dust collection system.
I like that ashtray idea.
My favorite thing to use with my ice cream maker is that cheap orange juice that comes in the gallon plastic containers. It would be too watery and over-sweetened to just drink, but if you chuck it into the ice cream maker and pull it out when it’s to the slushy stage, it’s great.
I’m guessing it wouldn’t keep well in the freezer but I’ve never had the opportunity to try that so I can’t say for sure.
We’ve found that these are great for marinating meat quickly. Toss the meat and your sauce in the bag and vacuum/seal it. The marinate enters the meat much more quickly.
Along the same lines, I’ve discovered that you can “marinate” marshmellows. Pour in a little of your favorite alcohol, add some marshmellows and vacuum. I made some lovely Frangelico flavored marshmellows, lovely when dipped in chocolate.
No this is where the ice cream maker fits in. Chunky style.
No, no and no.
I do get dried skin on my feet though and for $10 bucks I figured I give it try.
The instructions say “Once desired result has been achieved, remove top cover from Ped Egg and empty dry skin into the trash”
Like are those instructions even needed? Would someone hang on to them if not told to discard?
Not really chunky. More like Parmesan cheese :eek:
Much like teela brown, I’d use my ice cream maker all the time if I weren’t being so careful about my calorie intake. IMO it makes the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life, and ice crystals are never a problem.
So add emulsifiers.
To me, the point of homemade ice cream is that I can make exactly, precisely what I want. I can add more vanilla extract, or add just a hint of mint, or use my favorite chocolate, or toss in fresh berries right off the vine. It’s not that it’s objectively “better” than store-bought (although it is guaranteed to be fresher). It’s that it’s mine, made my way, exactly and precisely to please me.
It’s the same reason I like homemade beer and bread and chili and just about any other kind of food.
Yet another excellent Dopername/post content combination.
Keys are metal. They conduct heat really well. I can imagine some nasty burned fingers or scorched gloves from this method.
There’s that. And personally, I just plain like mine better than store bought. I like the texture more.
I was wondering why others had problems with ice crystals and I don’t. Then it occurred to me – I chill my mixture before I freeze it. I think that makes a huge difference.
Ah, but car keys (almost always) have a big plastic nubby thing around the head, grasshoppah.
Plus, it doesn’t have to get very hot, and long straightish metal things don’t head uniformly. Grab a set of tweezers and hold the tips over a lighter flame. It’ll be a good minute or two before the handle end gets too hot to hold.
If it’s a newer car where there’s a remote fob device or an ignition interlock chip. But wouldn’t heating up the metal part that much fry the electronics embedded in the plastic?
Eh? Not newer cars. Obviously this ain’t gonna work for newfangled key gizmos with the transponding and the beeping and so on.
I’m talking about regular old car keys.
You seriously have a Flo Bee??? I’ve never met anyone in my life that actually bought that thing. How do you guys look? Do you still have friends? :smack:
Do sweaters actually have air? If so, why can’t they inflate over my boobies so I can stop stuffing my bra? :dubious:
If you have a device that you plug into the cigarette lighter to de-ice your locks but you’re locked out of your car because your locks are frozen shut then isn’t the device a bit, er, redundant?
