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!
|
 2. Mix
up your ice cream ingredients in a container, then pour mix
into the end with the metal cylinder, leaving about an inch
for expansion at the top. Hand tighten the lid. |
 3
Have a ball! Shake, roll and pass it around as you
mix and freeze the ingredients. Its not necessary to shake the ball...just motion will do it! |
 4. After
about 10 minutes (15 for the MEGA ball) open the ice cream
end using the included plastic wrench. Scrape the sides of the cylinder to mix up the ice cream
using a plastic or wooden spoon (don't use a metal
spoon as it will scratch the cylinder). Then check the ice end.
Pour out the excess
water and add more ice and up to 1/3 cup more rock salt to enhance
the freezing ability. Close the lids securely and continue having
a ball for approximately 5-10
more minutes. (15 for MEGA) |
|
 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!

6. Important tips for using your
Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker:
- Directions and recipes are inside the Ball.
- Use cream instead of half 'n' half for richer
tasting ice cream.
- Leave about an inch of space for expansion when you fill
up the can with the ice cream mix.
- After 10 minutes (15 for MEGA ball)of mixing (shaking, rolling, passing),
its important to stir the ice cream mix (it freezes more
around the can). Also drain the water and refill with ice
and additional rock salt. Have fun for another 10 minutes
and you're done. (15 for MEGA ball) .
- Use the provided plastic wrench to open the ball, but
not to close it.
