Review on 🍨 Lello Musso Pola 5030 Silver Dessert Maker - 2 Quart Capacity by Josh Garber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They're pretty close. So that's the only reason why more is needed.

Some say the thing is too expensive. but compared to the $15,000+ commercial batch freezers used by almost every ice cream shop that makes their own ice cream, $1,200 is a steal! One of the makers of these floor models makes benchtop units that produce six liters per batch, but even such a unit costs over $4,000. These more powerful devices freeze the product faster, which is a major benefit when making ice cream because the faster it freezes, the smaller the ice crystals, making the product smoother. But the average person won't notice a significant difference between the smoothness this block produces and larger blocks. They're pretty close. The only reason you need larger units is that 2 liter lots are too small. The question is, should you spend $1,200 on this, or $30 on those homemade ice cream makers that use a cylinder that you keep in the freezer overnight? Well, if you can't afford $1,200, here's the answer. $30 units are your only option. But if you can afford $1,200, then yes, you want this device because that $30 doesn't lower the temperature of the cream fast enough. You will notice a significant difference in smoothness when freezing the same mix in this unit as opposed to $30 units. This unit makes excellent ice cream, almost on par with the larger 20 liter freezers. This $30 ice cream makes ice cream, but nowhere near the quality of this machine, even with the exact same mix.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
