Elite Gourmet EIM418 4-Quart Walnut Wood Bucket Ice Cream Maker

Freezer-bowl ice cream maker with a 4-quart capacity and vintage aesthetic. Uses ice and rock salt to churn ice cream in roughly 20-30 minutes. Pre-freezing required: the 4-quart bowl must sit in a standard freezer for 8-12 hours before each batch. Makes traditional ice cream only (not gelato, sorbet, or frozen yogurt). The electric motor churns automatically, eliminating hand-cranking, and includes a removable dasher and bail-handle lid. Designed for nostalgia appeal rather than modern convenience. Best suited to users who value retro aesthetics, have freezer space, and don't mind the pre-chill wait. Cleanup is straightforward—bucket and paddle hand-wash. Noise during churn is moderate.
