A Chef Tests a Home Gelato Machine | Sorted Food

On a hot summer’s day, nothing quite hits the spot like gelato or frozen yoghurt (or ‘froyo’ if you’re as cool as Ebbers)... so in today’s episode, we’ve let our Chef loose on a gelato machine to see what deliciously chilling recipes he’ll test this gadget with.

Barry saying screw it and eating the pineapple is basically every lactose intolerant person when eating cheese

[@arrgghh1555]

But most cheese has barely any lactose anyway.

[@Silentgrace11]

Depends on the variety of cheese! While certain hard cheeses have lower levels of lactose, soft cheeses have larger lactose levels. Additionally, a person’s reaction is dependent on the level of lactase their body produces - so some more unfortunate people will have a bad reaction no matter what.

Thanks for reviewing this magimix ice cream machine! I used to work for the company and always appreciate when people give their products a nod. They really try to produce quality machines made to last, which is why the price tags are higher than some competitors. I feel not many people hear about them as they're a small company and don't advertise as much as the others.

[@SteveInScotland]

My Magimix food processor will outlive me, that is a certainty. It’s motor has a 30 year warranty and yes you can still get parts for machines that old. They’re built to last not get thrown away, truly the greenest manufacturer. The power is crazy, nothing stops it but it’s gentle enough to make scones that are light and airy. I treated myself and I’ve not regretted it. I’m now looking at this ice cream maker.

[@concernedonlooker]

Talk about perfect timing, last night I bought an ice cream machine and spent the rest of the evening reading recipes, fantasizing about what is to come. Most of the recipes call for “Heavy Cream” and the closest I can find is “Heavy Whipping Cream” which turns out has a lower fat content. Thank you for doing this! Again, the timing couldn’t be more perfect.

[@SortedFood]

Haha, brilliant! We love it when a plan comes together naturally :)

[@seanmegan1278]

I find you can go down as far as 5% fat content... 200g-250 no-fat yoghurt or Quark (sort of cream cheesy, no fat) with 200 g sour cream and 90 g sugar (I do 30 g each of sugar, birch sugar and sweetener) and the juice of a whole lime... Mix it all, bang it in there... best refreshing thing ever.

[@hannahk1306]

I realise this is an old comment (so hopefully you've found the right ingredients by now), but I think heavy cream is the American name for double cream.

[@theicebeardk]

Having owned one of the "freeze the bowl" primitive ice cream machines and now have one of the compressor ones like the boys are showing off here I will say I will never go back. I make maybe 10 ice cream loads a year and it is still totally worth it to me. It makes ice cream making simple and allows me to concentrate on just making the custards / sirups instead and increases my confidence enough that I dare try more advanced recipes like making a home made pistacchio gelato which never succeeded for me before I got a full machine. Also when my nephew and niece are over they love getting flavoured cream soft serve as I like making it with raspberry, blackberry or chocolate flavors for them.

[@mariagmartinho]

Same here! I got my compressor machine a month ago and have done 6 recipes already. The difference in creamyness is incredible.

Sorry posted before finishing, can't edit. Sulfites are in the top ten allergens. And you find them everywhere. Fresh green lettuce, sulfate spray. White shredded potatoes, sulfate. Pretty dried fruit, you guessed it sulfate.

[@Songsonlyfoundhere]

I've always thought it would be neat if they tried a challenge where the guys start with a "normal" recipe and then have to alter it on the fly for someone with dietary restrictions. I would really like to see them try out the AIP (Auto Immune Protocol) diet sometime. It's one of the most restrictive diets I know of, plus it's designed for people undergoing chemotherapy or those who have other autoimmune issues who need to reduce the possibility of inflammation arising from food reactions, so creating some yummy recipes that fit AIP requirements would be very helpful for some people living with difficult circumstances.

[@FreeBeerNoBingo]

I spent about 5 years suddenly sensitive to eggs. I could have them in baked goods for instance, but on their own had me doubled in pain. My favourite food are omelettes - so I'd forego every other eggy dish for weeks and plan ahead so I could have 1 delicious omelette on a day I had nothing else planned so I could go to bed while my stomach plotted revenge. And one day, it just stopped. That's the 3rd or 4th time similar has happened and I'm always warned that sensitivity could turn to anaphylaxis if I keep eating stuff that affects me. I had a mild (slow) anaphylactic reaction to (likely) shiitake mushrooms once - and I wouldn't even touch any fungi for several years. I still am afraid to try Shiitakes again, but I have started eating more common mushrooms again. It's totally different when it's a bad belly ache compared to inflating like a balloon. I can deal with an upset stomach - but anaphylaxis of any severity is scary.

[@OrWhatWeHave]

Surely grapes are not worth it!

[@Silentgrace11]

@@OrWhatWeHave Sometimes they are. Although admittedly not as often as dairy and avocados lol

[@Silentgrace11]

@@FreeBeerNoBingo Oh goodness, that's terrifying! But yeah, cycling through allergies is actually pretty common. As your cells die off and are replaced with others, sometimes your histamine receptors and antibodies become less hyper reactive to certain entities and more reactive to others. Kind of in the same way that your body loses immunity to certain antigens, so you need to be revaccinated for thigns like tetanus. I used to be allergic to apples, and I wasn't allergic to latex (and by proxy avocados) and cats until I was in my late teens. Don't recommend testing your luck too much on anaphylaxis level food allergies, but sometimes you'll find your minor allergies to certain foods or interactions go away after a few years. The human body is weird lol.

I love James's coat just hanging in the back awaiting his return. Makes me smile.

Jamie looking into camera and sayings “…I don’t know the difference and I’ve been running a good channel for 10 Years.” Absolutely killed me lol

I'm saying nothing about price, I have just rinsed more than that on an "entry-level" espresso setup.

Is the shirt at the back an homage to James?

As someone who makes ice cream on a regular basis, machines like this make it a lot easier but as mentioned early on in the video you can definitely make ice cream without one. I first made ice cream without a maker. A tablespoon of vodka in the mix will help the ice crystals from forming, it'll also help keep any ice cream you make from freezing too hard. Make your custard and if you have an electric handmixer just take it out of the freezer every 30 minutes and give it a good mixing for 10 or so seconds every 30 minutes to whip some air in and you'll have a fantastic home made ice cream. You could also place a container inside of a larger one filled with ice and shake that container for about 30 minutes. Plenty of ways to make home made ice cream and other frozen confections without one of these machines, though this does make it a hell of a lot easier and in general gives a smoother consistency. Though I will say in my experience the machines where you have the pre-freeze the bowl result in a product just as good as these ones with the freezing built in, they just require planning ahead by a day or two and room in your freezer. They're a good deal cheaper. If you're looking for recipes to try you might want to check out one of Davin Lebovitz's books. He revised his fantastic book "The Perfect Scoop" a couple of years ago and if it's anywhere near as good as his original book that I've been using recipes from for the past decade, then it'll have a lot of fantastic recipes for amazing ice cream, gelato, granitas, sauces, mix ins and many other fantastic recipes. It's well worth it if you've ever felt a desire to make ice cream.

Ben has had a bandaid on for a very long time now

Really enjoyed this. It would be great if they could make one rating the lower range ice cream makers. Just for a nice comparison.

Thank you, love your videos as always. Always funny to me when British people say "crème Anglaise" in French with their cute accent, when it literally translates as "English cream".

Got inspired by this episode coinciding with an Aldi machine with condenser for AUD$130 (about 70GBP). Fantastic. Best ice cream I’ve ever had. Machines a bit noisy, but for basically throw away cash compared to others, worked beautifully.
