When I was a kid Mom would get all the fixins together and us kids would take turns hand cranking the Ice Cream maker a couple time a year.
She would put a lot of Rock Salt in the Ice Maker to cool the Ice below freezing as we cranked it.
That Ice Cream sometime would get so hard that we kids could not crank the handle.
We never did get runny Ice Cream always quite firm and real cold.
The best Ice Cream you can get is Home Made.
