How was ice cream first made?

Answer 1

In the northern states where the winters were cold enough for ice to accumulate, or for rivers and lakes to freeze, they would cut out blocks of ice and store them in underground storage that was insulated with thick layers of sawdust, or in specially built ice houses which were also insulted with sawdust. Then when they wanted ice in warm/hot weather, it was available to purchase. The ice cream was made by using hand turned ice cream makers, very similar to the electric ones we use today. Although the old fashioned hand-turned ones can still be purchased, they are actually considerably more expensive than the electric ones are.

Answer 2

Originally, ice cream was a very labor-intensive, luxurious treat made by hand. A bowl was placed in a tub packed with ice and salt. The ice cream ingredients were stirred by hand until the mixture froze. Often the ice was imported from cold regions. Later, people used a crank-type ice cream freezer (also called a manual ice cream freezer.) The first US patent for one was issued to Nancy Johnson in 1843. Again, a container with cream, sugar and other ingredients was placed inside a tub of ice and salt. (The salt makes the ice melt faster.) A crank on the container was turned to mix the ingredients until the mixture froze. Even with this machine, ice cream was a very special treat. Often, several people alternated turning the crank. It could still take up to an hour to produce about half a gallon of ice cream.
