White Mountain F69206-X 6-Quart Electric Ice Cream Freezer

Product Description

For a century and a half, since a woman in New York invented the hand-crank freezer, making ice cream has been an American family value. Mom blended the ice cream mixture; Dad filled the maker's wooden tub with ice and rock salt to achieve the below-freezing temperature needed to produce smooth confections; kids clamored to turn the crank; and everyone happily consumed big bowls of ice cream as a reward. This family-bonding activity remains as vibrant today as it was through a century-and-a-half of "progress." With various ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet recipes included, this old-fashioned White Mountain ice cream maker maintains the tradition. Only the use of modern stainless steel for the freezer can and dasher and the electric motor distinguish this rugged maker from the one earlier generations enjoyed. And years from now it will still be used, knitting together a family's history. --Fred Brack

Features
  1. Motor: Only the White Mountain brand uses a 12,000 RPM commercial-grade motor to provide ample churning torque needed for making homemade ice cream. No other ice cream maker has the power to restart after stopping to add fruit, berries, chocolate, or candy to a thickened ice cream mixture.
  2. Bucket: The wood bucket is crafted of select pine from New England and bound with strong galvanized hoops and electroplated fittings to ensure lasting stability.
  3. Canister: The tall canister design allows the ice cream to come in close contact with the ice and rock salt making it freeze faster. Our canister is manufactured of heavy-duty stainless steel that will provide years of ice cream making service.
  4. Dasher: The patented dasher system is constructed of heavy-duty cast iron and is electroplated for lasting durability. It will never warp out of shape like plastic dashers are prone to do. And the beech wood blades are self-adjusting to ensure uniform scraping of the ice cream mixture on the canisters interior sidewall.

The White Mountain Experience
The White Mountain Experience started in the 1850s.
Founded in 1853, we’ve always been about making good times happen right at home with ice cream you make yourself. The experience starts with the discussion--often the kids get their pick--of what flavor ice cream your family wants to make. Vanilla with bittersweet chocolate chips or maybe peach made with orchard fresh peaches. Every delicious choice is limited only by your imagination. Just set up your White Mountain ice cream maker with ice and rock salt, and let the fun begin. Whether you’re cooling off a hot summer picnic or warming up a homebound winter weekend, the experience is one you can’t put a price on.
Our secret is the triple-motion dasher.
At the heart of the White Mountain ice cream maker is a uniquely designed, twin-blade "dasher." The outer canister turns clockwise and the blades turn both clockwise and counter clockwise. That triple-motion action continuously folds the ingredient mixture from the outer walls back onto itself creating the smoothest and creamiest down-home ice cream ever made.

Technical Details
  • Makes 6 quarts of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other frozen confections
  • Electric motor makes traditional family fun easier
  • Stainless-steel freezer can and dasher inside wooden tub
  • Ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sherbet recipes included
  • Freezer can and dasher are dishwasher-safe

"Ice Cream Churn" 2010-05-11
By S. Ortmann (SC, USA)
The ice cream churn was as advertised and was what my husband wanted since he had had one years before.


"Don't waste your money!!!" 2010-05-03
By J. Peterson (Texas)
During the spring, summer, and fall, I make ice cream a couple times a month. It has been a family tradition for many years. In my youth, mom & dad made ice cream often and Dad had a hand crank White Mountain freezer that lasted for the better part of a quarter century. I have had 2 of the newer White Mountain electric freezers in the past 3 years and 3 replacement motors. What once was a well made American product, is now a Chinese made piece of junk, cleverly disguised as the old reliable White Mountain freezer. Two of the relacement motors stripped the gears on the second batch of cream. Stay away from this freezer until White Mountain decides it will make this high priced product of the quality it once was.

Bought this freezer as a gift. Have been told it makes great ice cream in about 35-40 minutes.

"White Mountain Ice Freezer is awesome!!" 2010-02-06
By Connie L. Lutz (Pennsylvania, USA)
We looked for an ice cream maker and tried 2 or 3 different brands. But the white Mountain freezer makes the smoothest, creamiest ice cream we've EVER eaten. The recipes were easy to follow, and their suggestions on how to make it were simple to follow. Honestly folks, if you're looking for silky smooth, creamy homemade ice cream White Mountain is the product to purchase.

"Easy to Make and Use Great Tasting Ice Cream" 2010-04-01
By J. Smallwood (California)
This is a great food machine purchase. I found it easy to use and clean. I read the instruction manual prior to using it to make sure I understood any warning or tips.The best tip is to make sure your freezer bowl is frozen in advance. It has liquid inside that must freeze completely prior to use.

Here's my main thoughts on it:

I put the machine together in about 3 minutes.

I used the recipe booklet included to make my first batch of vanilla ice cream.

I like that it makes the recipes from scratch. I can use organic ingredients if I so desired.

I fed a family of three with the ice cream dispensed from it. We were all very happy with the results.

One thing I noticed is the size of the machine needs open space and may not fit under most counters.

If we didnt eat all the ice cream immediately, I place a tupperware bowl underneath the spout. Placed it in the freezer. It did not get hard after a few hours in the freezer. So it can be made ahead of time or during dinner.

I would recommend the machine to another person.

"Best Home made ice cream I ever had!" 2010-02-26
By D.R. Davis (Rockledge, FL)
Make sure your freezer is zero degrees and follow the instructions, it is that easy. Takes a little longer than 20 minutes to get the consistancy I like 30 minutes is more like it. Great soft serve, will stand right up in a cone no problem.


"Ice Cream Maker" 2010-01-26
By radio62 (Avilla, IN United States)
After reviewing what everybody else has written I have learned that you have to keep this freezer bowl in the back of your freezer just to make ice cream. I can make some flavor and put that in my freezer and make some ice cream without buying this machine on my own. I want a self contained ice cream maker that can make a product by plugging it in the wall without a freezer in sight. So I guess this product is not for me.


  
"This thing is fun, fun, fun!!" 2010-01-05
By Lucy (Salt Lake, Utah)
Got his as a gift for Christmas...what a thoughtful friend! We live far out into the country and getting ice cream home during the summer is almost impossible..even with freezer bags, ice chests, etc, the store bought ice cream is often runny. We just got used to the idea that we could not have fancy grocery store ice cream during July and August :(



As long as you follow the instructions and keep the freezer bowl in the back of your freezer (I keep the bowl in our spare frig's top freezer, so it is not often opened), it makes decent soft serve ice cream. Take the time to read the other reviews and you can learn alot about how to operate this Cuisinart...it's very simple, but there are a few "tricks" to make it even easier.


The only additional advice I can add, is to buy the Ben and Jerry's ice cream recipe book with this and make some FANTASTIC ice cream. Just follow the instructions for making soft serve and after about 12 minutes, dump the soft serve into a tupperware bowl and freeze for a few hours - delicious!! The ice cream will taste as good (if not better) than the most expensive ice cream and costs very, very little.This unit is simple and easy to operate. Making the ice cream mix is easy and cleanup is a snap.Probably the nicest and most fun gift we have ever received!

 
"Soft Serve Ice Cream - Good; Sprinkle device from Hades" 2009-12-31
By H. Lanford (Chapel Hill, NC USA)
Our kids asked for the soft serve ice cream maker for Christmas. I did make really delicious soft serve ice cream. However, the sprinkle device did not work as planned - dumping the contents of sprinkles on the floor! Given that my wife had recently done a thorough cleaning of the kitchen, she was not a happy camper. We spend an hour cleaning it up, and we are still finding the sprinkles!

"BEWARE" 2010-05-21
By baker (Dallas, TX United States)
This is a first for me to write a review on anything, but I am significantly disappointed. I love my Kitchenaid mixer so I saw the ice cream maker as a natural progression. Though I followed the ice cream maker instructions to the letter, my first attempt at using the ice cream maker burned out my mixer. Now I am having to replace my 6 qt, 575W Kitchenaid stand mixer.


"Kitchen Aide Ice Cream Maker" 2010-05-20
By Lost (Fonthill, ON, Canada)
I had purchased this unit based on a friends recommendation. Since purchasing it I have made 2 batches of French Vanilla Ice Cream and 1 batch of Orange Sorbet. Both were ready to serve in less than the recommended time. I don't know if my freezer is colder than other folks, but the unit works very well.


One evening was quite warm in the house, the ice cream froze in less than the suggested time, but it did start to melt quickly while scooping it out of the bowl and dasher. So we just had to eat it up faster, some how I don't find that a negative.


The orance sorbet tasted so much better than anything I have ever purchased from a store.


I am certain you will enjoy the fresh and creamy taste of either home made ice cream or home made sorbet.

  
"This makes the most AMAZING ice-cream!!!" 2010-05-13
By Boardingace (San Diego, CA)
I LOVE this kitchen-aid attachment and would highly recommend it to ANYONE!! I have most of the kitchen-aid attachments and this is by far one of my favorites (along with the pasta maker). It requires almost no skill to operate and makes the most delectable ice-cream that will amaze you and your friends. I make all of my recipes from the Ben & Jerry's cookbook - sometimes I use raw eggs; sometimes (when sharing with friends) I use eggbeaters. The first ice-cream I made was the caramel one from the kitchen aid booklet and it was very strange in texture. I then made a light chocolate ice-cream from the mixer bible book which wasn't very good. Then I started using Ben & Jerry's recipes and suddenly I was eating the best ice-cream I had EVER had in my life - seriously, NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS ICE-CREAM. Every single Ben & Jerry's recipe has been outstanding. Once you have a good ice-cream base, you can add whatever you like. Like B&J say, there's no such thing as bad ice-cream :) Friends who try this ice-cream all say it's the best they've ever had. Every single person. It is seriously good ice-cream. I serve it in little tiny bowls because it is super rich, and when you eat really good food, it's all about tasting each bite and savoring the moment, not scarfing down bowls of it like you have to with the light kind so you can feel satisfied. This ice-cream is amazing. And did I mention, it's easy to make?

  
"I'm eating a LOT more Ice Cream now" 2010-05-12
By Charles E. Wingo IV (Conyers, GA)
This product just works. It's solid and well designed, and will fit virtually any KitchenAid stand mixer. There are really only two drawbacks to it: it takes up a lot of room in your freezer, and even fruit sorbets have a lot of calories.


That said, I'm extremely happy with it. I only wish it came with a better set of recipies. If you buy it, buy a book of recipies along with it. (I'm really happy with the Ben & Jerry's book I got - I've tried four of the recipies so far, and they've all been excellent).

Highly recommended.

  
"excellent intro to ice cream making" 2010-05-11
By Mr. Jerkface (DC)
If you've got enough room in your freezer for the bowl, you've got yourself an ice cream maker. Very simple, easy to follow recipes and there are thousands more online. The perfect intro to small batch ice cream making. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to give ice cream making a try.
