Although the summer is over and the winter is slowly coming in, since the corona the ice cream craze has only been growing throughout the country. Ice cream has become a staple in every home, people send quantities of ice cream home just for fun and even as a gift to a friend or with a “get well soon” note. Ice cream is no longer just a summer food. We set out to find out how to stop consuming so much ice cream (because come on, the price per kilo has already become more expensive than certain meats) and switch to home preparation.
This year, at exactly the perfect timing, I got to know the ice cream machine of a company Cure, with which I have a very successful past (you are invited to read the review about their mixer here). GodThe ice cream machine is imported and marketed in Israel by the OIG company at a price of 2,990 shekels When it comes in silver-black color.
This machine is not just an ice cream machine, it reaches the closest result to professional ice cream that you will find in stores today. What does that mean? I will arrange for you.
In many ice cream machines on the market today, the cooling takes place outside the machine. That is, the machine unites, mixes, creates the smooth texture – but your freezer does the work of freezing, not the machine. That is, you will make ice cream in a machine that does not have its own cooling element, and your ice cream will have to sit in the freezer for at least two hours before eating, and of course this also greatly affects the texture in many cases. Here the story is different.
So let’s talk a little about the technical details:
The Davo ice cream machine model DIC1280 is designed elegantly and aesthetically, while it is tall and stable. to the machine 135 watt motor with 6 buttons and a digital clock. The machine has a cooling capacity of 18- to 35- and the noise level is less than 55 decibels. When you turn it on, you can’t miss the noise it makes and it’s not a completely silent machine, you can hear it working. The width of the machine is 25 cm, the height is 35 cm and the length is 27.5 cm.
The machine has 6 operating buttons: an ice cream program button, a freezing button, a mixing button, a time add button, a time decrease button and a start/stop button.
To start the machine, first turn it on using the on/off button. Click on the ice cream program, the timer automatically turns on for 60 minutes, then click on the start button. At this point the blades of the machine begin to rotate and the heat sink begins to cool the ice cream container. I recommend turning on the machine even before the ice cream is in the container to shorten processes and get ice cream in less time. If after 60 minutes your ice cream feels too liquid, you can use the plus and minus buttons to add more time to the ice cream program. The mixing button is intended for mixing only (without the operation of the heat sink) for those who want to soften a little ice cream that has been sitting in the freezer and frozen to a too hard texture and the freezing button is intended for those who want to keep the ice cream in the machine without it melting until serving.
What’s in the package?
- A dedicated stainless steel vessel of 1.2 liters
- Stirring accessory
- Lick plastic
- A booklet of operating instructions and five basic recipes in Hebrew
What makes the product unique?
We have reached the part that everyone was waiting for in the article – what makes the product unique? And how does it actually work?
In the home ice cream machines available on the market, the method of operation is simple: fill the ice cream container with designated ingredients along with toppings that you like and freeze for 24 hours. Only after 24 hours does the ice cream machine start working – with the help of an assembly of blades and a powerful motor, the machine will mix the ingredients and create a stunning ice cream texture for you. Excellent method! but less accessible. If I want ice cream right now, I won’t wait 24 hours to make and eat it. Of course, you can prepare quantities in advance in the freezer and simply prepare when you want, but this method will not suit those who have a storage problem in their freezer, or for one reason or another.
Dabo’s machine gets extra points from me for accessibility, because it solves exactly the problem I was talking about just now. The Dabo ice cream machine is the first accessible machine in the world of home ice creams that offers an ice cream machine with a cooling element inside, which allows mixing and taking care of the texture of the ice cream while cooling and freezing. Which means that from the moment you decide you want ice cream, until the perfect final result, It won’t take more than an hour.
Conclusions after use
Addictive, addictive, addictive! I can say that I made large quantities of ice cream, everyone enjoyed it and wanted more and more of it, no matter what flavor it was. The speed of the machine amazed me, in less than an hour I got a smooth, amazing creamy ice cream. The machine takes up a lot of space unfortunately (as one with a storage problem in the kitchen) so it is important to consider its storage before purchasing. In addition, the machine is a little noisy, not in an extreme way, but at night it can be a bothersome noise.
In conclusion
The DAVO Pro DIC1280 ice cream machine is a machine that is suitable for all those who want to make ice cream at home, by themselves and in an easy and fast way. Still debating whether to make ice cream at home by yourself, here are 4 reasons that will help you:
- The choice is yours – what flavor, how much sugar, how much fat
- Without the need for stabilizers, flavoring and other industrial substances that you find in commercial ice creams
- Quality texture of professional ice cream
- availability! Homemade ice cream at any time of the day whenever you want
