I've been making homemade ice cream in my Donvier handheld ice cream maker for years. A few years ago I decided that I wanted to try electro. I've tried Rival several times over the last few years without success. Ice just doesn't freeze. I did an experiment this weekend. I have frozen buckets for both ice machines. I made 2 liters of strawberry ice cream. I poured 1/2 of the mixture into each bucket and then froze them side by side. This next part makes absolutely no sense to me, but that's exactly what happened. Rival ice cream has never been more than a slightly thick custard. The filling in Donvieu has a slightly lower consistency than a soft portion. So after putting the Donviere products in the freezer, we got a pretty creamy ice cream. We put Rival products in the freezer and they were frozen but there were a lot of ice crystals in them. Not so creamy. Find out.
