It looks surprisingly like one of those hamster balls you get at the pet store, but it's for making ice cream!The ice cream maker ball works the same way older ice cream makers have worked for years! What it does differently, however, is make the process more interactive and fun!Fill up the canister with your ice cream mix. Fill the other end with ice and salt. Now get moving! The process of making ice cream requires that the ball is in constant motion -- you're encouraged to gently throw, kick, pass and jiggle the ball around.
The MEGA Ball holds 1 QUART of ice cream! That's enough for the whole family!!
Also check out the Frequently Asked Questions page for more tips on having fun making ice cream.
1. Fill the ice end with as much ice as possible, then add 1/2 cup of rock salt. (MEGA: Add 3/4 cup of rock salt). The lid should be hand tightened - do not use the wrench!
5. You now have about a pint (or quart for the MEGA ball) of delicious soft-serve ice cream. The consistency will vary based on the ice, your mix, the outside temperature, shaking frequency, etc. Once the ice cream is to the consistency of your liking, gently scoop it out and Enjoy!
