Same summary

The Medion LIFE MD 18387 ice cream maker is suitable for those who want to make up to 800 ml of their own ice cream at home, especially individuals, couples or small families. The compact design and stainless steel material allow for easy storage and maintenance, so it is also convenient in smaller kitchens. Despite the limited capacity, it will satisfy those who prepare dessert for several people at once, but is less suitable for those who want successive larger batches or frequent parties. When choosing, it is important to consider that the appliance works with a pre-frozen container, which means long planning and adequate space in the freezer.

What should I do if I notice a grainy or too hard texture of the ice cream after mixing?
