Ice and rock salt: Consolidated around the bowl of the ice cream maker, it sustains the temperature below freezing.

Pros: Generally utilised in hand-crank models, it's movable and works very good. Whether hand-crank or electric, the ice cream makers that uses ice and rock salt ofttimes makes large, ice-cream-party-size batches of 4, 5, or 6 quarts of ice cream.

Cons: Rock salt can be challenging to find in the summer (but table salt can be exchanged). Either way, it can be sloppy and inconvenient, and salt and ice levels must be monitored.

Freezer bowls: Most popular, these space age marvels are metal bowls, that house a special liquid freezing solution between insulated walls. You put the bowl in your freezer for several hours before making your homemade ice cream, and it sustains the freezing temperature while the smorgasbord is churning. Most use a 1 1/2 quart capacity.

Pros: They work very well when directions are followed and they are very moderately priced.

Cons: The bowls command precious freezer space. And unless you purchase an additional freezer bowl, you can only make one batch at a time without refreezing the bowl, usually 6 to 24 hours.

Self-contained compressor freezer: These professional units carry their own freezer system. All you have to do is pour your ice cream base into the bowl and turn it on.

Pros: It's easy and convenient. No freezer bowls, no salt, no ice, no cranking. Make batch after batch, any time you desire. They freeze the ice cream base to a regular ice cream consistency rather than the soft-serve variety.

Cons: They're more costly than most, of course; convenience is always more expensive.
