Turn Up the Heat and Stay Cool This Summer with Homemade Ice Cream

From lounging on the beach to backyard barbecues, the sunny days of summer can get downright scorching. But as the weather heats up, the demand for cool, sweet treats soars. To make the summer heat a bit more bearable, Nostalgia Electrics is happy to be introducing the first ice cream maker in it's Retro Series lineup. With a coat of vibrant Retro Red paint that beckons for attention, the Retro Series Electric Ice Cream Maker fittingly pays homage to the classic color and style of appliances in the 1950s.

Aside from the fact that it looks striking on a kitchen countertop, this unit also makes a great batch of homemade ice cream. One and a half quarts of ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, or sorbet can be made in as little as 15 to 20 minutes. Perfect for the health conscious, and for those interested in handpicking the best fresh, quality ingredients for each homemade recipe.

"What we've found is that the retro look is something people love, but they don't necessarily want to go back to churning ice cream with a hand crank," says Lindsey Maki, Marketing Communications Specialist. "Between the convenience of using a gel canister and the lively Retro Red color, we're excited to see others get excited about making homemade ice cream when this hits the shelves."

Unique from the traditional bucket-style ice cream makers, this ice cream maker has modern features that make it easy to use. Instead of needing ice or salt to make ice cream, it uses a quick-freezing, double-insulated gel canister. Non-stick and easy to clean, the gel canister only requires several hours in the freezer prior to making ice cream. An easy ON/OFF switch is all it takes to get the paddle churning, while a chute atop the unit is perfect for adding nuts, candy pieces and other hard ingredients.

The Retro Series Electric Ice Cream Maker is currently available both in stores and online at Michael's with a suggested retail price of $39.99.
