jäätelövalmistuslaitoksina

jäätelövalmist means ice cream maker in Finnish. An ice cream maker is a kitchen appliance that prepares the ice cream by circulating the mixture using a motor. Ice cream makers can be divided into two main categories based on how they cool the ice cream mixture.

The first type is a freezer bowl ice cream maker. This type uses a bowl that is pre-frozen in a freezer. Before making ice cream, the bowl needs to be placed in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Once frozen, the bowl is placed into the ice cream maker, and the ingredients are poured into it. A paddle then churns the mixture while it freezes against the cold walls of the bowl. This type of ice cream maker is generally less expensive than other types.

The second type is a compressor ice cream maker. These machines have a built-in freezer compressor, similar to a refrigerator. This means they can freeze the ice cream mixture without the need for pre-freezing a bowl. This offers more convenience as you can make ice cream whenever you want. Compressor ice cream makers typically produce ice cream with a smoother texture because they can maintain a more consistent freezing temperature. They are usually more expensive than freezer bowl models.

Both types of ice cream makers achieve the same goal: to freeze the ice cream base while incorporating air, which is crucial for achieving the characteristic creamy and light texture of ice cream. The churning process also prevents large ice crystals from forming, which would result in a grainy texture.
