Product Information

In a freezer, flavours and odours from other foods can be absorbed by the ice cream if it’s not properly covered. This is particularly noticeable with strong ingredients like onion or fish. No one was oniony, fishy vanilla ice cream!

Additional features: Some tubs are microwave-friendly and made of materials that allow you to write and label them. Some tubs are suitable for storing hot foods. The ideal size of your container should depend on how much ice cream you plan to store. If you have a small family or don’t intend to make large batches at one time, then a smaller-size container is preferable. However, larger containers may be necessary if you are making multiple large batches or planning to store extra portions for future use.Who doesn’t love a scoop of ice cream on a hot day?

Freezer burn happens when ice cream (or any other frozen food) is exposed to air, causing moisture to evaporate and form ice crystals on its surface. This results in dry spots, making the ice cream taste stale or off.

Lids: When you choose an ice-cream container, make sure to look for an air-tight, leak-proof lid that is easy to pull out. These lids can prevent unpleasant odor, ice crystals, and freezer burns. They also prevent the ice cream from becoming gooey. Silicone lids are the right choice for these tubs.

I always recommend mastering vanilla ice cream before moving on to more complicated flavors," says Ellen Coatney, creator and owner of Fifth Scoop, a plant-based ice cream brand based in Madison, Wisconsin. "This helps you get the technique down without worrying about your chocolate breaking or your fruit swirl getting icy. Once you're confident, you can mix and churn a delicious vanilla ice cream, start adding some basic mix-ins—cookie pieces or chocolate chips are easy ones to start with—and then you can get more creative." This clever container is the perfect way to freeze sauces in practical portions, making small servings of pesto, marinara, and gravy available for speedy heating. That means your sauces won’t suffer from being repeatedly thawed and refrozen in larger containers—a process that can ruin them. A tight-fitting, transparent lid ensures that your sauces stay fresh when stored, and being able to see through the lid helps you identify the contents without needing to label anything. That said, the containers that your store-bought ice cream come in leave a lot to be desired. We would even say that they pose several problems for you and your freezer that can affect the way you enjoy your ice cream.The right container can make all the difference in how long homemade ice cream lasts and its flavor. Some of the factors to consider when selecting the best containers for homemade ice cream include size, material, shape, insulation, and air tightness. Stainless steel containers offer increased durability over plastic tubs but may be more difficult to find depending on where you live. They also require a bit of extra attention when cleaning, as they are not dishwasher safe. The downside of these machines is that they're quite heavy, and quite expensive. A compressor ice cream maker is probably overkill for a home that only makes ice cream a few times a year, but if you're a true fanatic who'll be using it constantly, it could be ideal. After washing, it's very important to dry off all the parts thoroughly, especially the freezer bowl, before reuse. Ice can accumulate on the walls of the bowl and can cause damage and interfere with the ice cream-making process.
