Tovolo Tight-Fitting, Stack-Friendly, Sweet Treat Ice Cream Tub - Pink

Apart from my Pyrex lids, this is the only plastic I have in my kitchen. br>However, they are BPA-free, and I haven't found anything else that works as well for my homemade ice cream as these. br>br>For icecream identification, I like the Tovolo multicolored silicone lids. br>The tub is matte on the outside and smooth and shiny on the inside, which makes scooping easier. br>br>When purchasing, be aware that Tovolo also makes six oz tubs in addition to the 1qt, and they look identical in the photos, so read the descriptions carefully to get the right size. br>I may get some 6oz ones too, with the same colored lids, for any excess, as the 1qt isn't always large enough, especially if I have added fruit. br>Otherwise, I might be able to get some of the two. Tovolo also makes 5qt long tubs. br>br>I love these cute icecream tubs, but they make me want to make more icecream, which means someone has to eat it, so maybe the tubs should come with a cholesterol warning lol. br>I'd like to try making some healthier versions, but life is short and summers in Arizona are long, and there are still so many icecream flavors to try! Next on the menu is peach passionfruit. br>You won't be sorry for purchasing these tubs, but you may want to consider purchasing larger pants at the same time: )br>If you found this review helpful, please click to let me know; it makes me so happy to know that one of my reviews has aided a like-minded customer out there: )br>As I review a lot of kitchen equipment and cookbooks, you might want to look at my other reviews on my profile. I'm a recipe developer and tester, but because I have a small kitchen, I'm picky about what I buy and recommend. I enjoy assisting others in navigating the maze of information available. br>Have fun in the kitchen and in the dining room!.

I planned to take it to the ice cream shop and have them fill it with 1/2 pint of ice cream so that no one else's container would be used. So I can try to fit the cardboard inside this, which keeps the ic fresh, but getting the cardboard out is a pain. I suppose I could put it here. It's all about living and learning.

I'm planning on purchasing a few more. This is a full quart container that we use to freeze homemade ice cream. The container is well-made, with thick walls and a flexible lid that makes it simple to put on and take off. The lid reminds me of the material used to make splat mats and small cake molds. I really like it, and it protects the ice cream well. I put a round of waxed paper or plastic wrap against the top of the ice cream to prevent crystals from forming, but you'd have to do that with any container.

I've used this container a few times now, and I'm pleased to report that my ice cream has never suffered from freezer burn. I used to make homemade ice cream in a larger rectangular Tupperware container, and while it was easier to get an even scoop with a larger rectangular container, my ice cream would quickly develop ice crystals on top. My new purchase has made me very happy. It's also convenient to store for me, which is a plus given my cramped quarters.

I put the ice cream in the container and put it in the freezer for four hours. The ice cream was perfect after 5 hours, and I went back to check the batch after a few days and was VERY pleased. There was no settled frost on top, and there were no signs that the ice cream had been exposed during the freezing process. The container is MUCH larger and more sturdy than I had anticipated. I returned to the store and purchased a second one! I have to have every color! I wish they came in a variety of colors: To match the ice cream flavors, I'll use brown, orange, and other colors, but that won't stop me from purchasing more.

We only eat ice cream that we make ourselves. I've had a couple of these for quite some time. You can make a quart of ice cream right in this container by mixing all of the ingredients together, covering it tightly, and refrigerating it. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker frozen container to paddle, then return the ice cream to this container, cover, and freeze. br>Absolutely love this container. It always works perfectly. I also bought a 6 oz container to store any leftover ice cream.

This was purchased with the intention of using it as an ice bucket. My apartment building has a commercial ice machine, which I planned to use by keeping a bucket of ice in my freezer. Because the cubes stick together, you'll need an ice pick, but it's a lot less work than breaking up an ice cube tray. After cracking a Tupperware container with the ice pick, I needed to get an ice bucket of some sort. However, when I looked them up online, they were between $25 and $50. This is a much less expensive alternative that also works well because it is ice pick resistant.

TJ's or the C wharehouse club are our go-to places for ice cream. As we try to extract the icecream, the cardboard that contains the delicious dark chocolate, coffee, and vanilla is destroyed, so we peel the cardboard off immediately and pop the frozen icecream into this container. (With the vanilla from the warehouse club, it's a little more difficult, but we can cram half of that container into one of these. ) I'll do the rest in another post. ) What a fantastic idea!.
