My big secret to smooth and creamy home made ice cream is to NOT use a lot of salt on the ice. Heavy salt makes it freeze faster but it does not taste smooth and creamy. Easy on the ice and it takes longer but it tastes better. If I was hand cranking it I would load up on ice but electricity is wonderful thing. it churns the ice cream and it keeps my garage AC working, and the lights on! It is hot outside but my garage is like me, real cool.
