Using an ice cream maker with its own compressor
Usually with compressor machines you just turn it on and get it super cold, then make sure the dasher is spinning before pouring in the mix. Make sure the mix is below 40°F (4C) beforehand. I also chill down the spoon, container I’m putting the ice cream in, and any add-in’s I’m adding to it. Then spin it until the motor starts slowing down, or until it gets to a firm soft-serve consistency. Enjoy!
