Update on the Cuisinart ice cream machine

[thewayne]

This is mainly for lovelyangel.

I have my second batch mixing, same recipe as before: substituting eggnog for the whole milk. The point of the post is decibels! According to an app on my iPhone 13, it is about +10db. My normal kitchen noise level is around 60db, with the machine running about 70.

So there you go!

Eggnog ice cream?
Sounds interesting. :)

That's not a bad increase in noise. Measurable, certainly, but not a jet engine in the kitchen.

A standard base is whole milk, heavy cream, white sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.  I substituted the whole milk with Jack Daniel's vanilla eggnog (non-alcoholic, alcohol really complicates ice cream's freezing point!).  Lots of ice cream bases are derived from this basic recipe, and I dived into the deep end with the nogg. ;)  It is most excellent!

I should clock my food processer the next time I use it.  I expect it's louder, the question is by how much.

First let me say, either my computer is acting up, the internet is acting up, or DW is acting up, but I can't get the pages to load properly all the time, so here goes......

You are making my hungry for ice cream. LOL...
I had what was left of my vanilla bean vanilla last night.
