I lost the directions to my ice cream maker and I have no clue how to make ice cream. I don’t know the brand but the company that makes it is Waring. Thanks in advance!

    Usually you have to freeze the bowl first for a few hours. Meanwhile you should make your ice cream mix, there are lots of recipes online, just google them! Then you’re going to take the frozen bowl out of the freezer and add the mix and start the ice cream maker. It will get to a soft serve consistency and then you’ll have to freeze it if you want it to be like hard ice cream.

    Here is my basic recipe for vanilla ice cream — it is for a 1 gallon ice cream maker, so if yours is smaller you will need to adjust the ingredients. You will need about 2 bags (10 pounds each) of crushed ice and a box of rock salt, too. What I do is prepare the filling and place in the cylinder, put the cylinder into the bucket, then put crushed ice half way up all around the cylinder, sprinkle GENEROUSLY with rock salt, then fill to top with ice. Sprinkle again with rock salt. As the ice cream maker churns, keep an eye on the ice and salt, add as needed. Listen closely for when it starts to labor — then when it stops, unplug the ice cream maker. At this point, you need to remove the beater, replace the lid, drain off water and pack with ice. It helps to place a towel over the top, then let it sit for about an hour to set. Enjoy.

    Creamy Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
    1 can sweetened condensed milk
    1 can evaporated milk (13 ounce can)
    ½ cup sugar
    1 box vanilla instant pudding
    1 cup heavy cream
    2 teaspoons vanilla
    whole milk
    2 bags crushed ice
    1 box rock salt
    In freezer compartment of 4 quart ice cream maker, mix first 6 ingredients with wire whisk, mix until well incorporated. Place container into ice cream maker, fill with whole milk to the fill line and mix again.

    Place lid on freezer compartment and freeze according to instructions.

    Once ice cream maker is finished, remove beater, drain water and pack with additional ice. Ice cream will be ready to eat in one hour. Can be stored in 1/2 gallon plastic containers in the freezer.

    If stored ice cream is too hard to scoop, place in microwave for 10 – 15 seconds.

    Strawberry Ice Cream
    6 tablespoons flour
    3 cups sugar, divided
    1 teaspoon salt
    4 cups milk
    6 eggs
    1 1/ pints fresh strawberries
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    4 cups half & half cream
    2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
    Dash red food coloring (optional)
    Crushed Ice
    Rock Salt
    ** Whole milk, half & half cream, and/or low-fat condensed milk may be used to lower the calories (these substitutions may effect how creamy your ice cream will turn out).
    In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, and salt until well blended (I wire whisk works great). Blend in milk and eggs until well blended. Over medium-low heat, cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture (custard) thickens and will coat the back of a metal spoon with a thin film, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. On your instant-read cooking thermometer, the temperature should reach between 165 and 180 degrees F. NOTE: Do not let the mixture boil or it will curdle. If, of course by accident, your custard base does curdle, immediately remove from heat and place in a blender; process until smooth.
    Remove from heat and let custard cool. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours but ideally for 24 hours. NOTE: Cool quickly by setting pan in ice or cold water and stirring for a few minutes. This aging process
