Ice cream maker
The ice-cream maker shown here is a wooden tub, bound together with copper bands. The handle turns a set of wooden paddles set inside a metal cylinder. The section that holds the handle and the cogs to turn the paddles is made of cast iron. On the top are inscribed the name of the ice cream maker (The 'Reliance'), the place that it was made (Sweden) and the fact that it makes 2 quarts of ice cream. It was patented 1881-85. Metal drum containing beater rotated by handle; surrounded by wooden coopered container for ice. Three quart capacity.
Ice cream was made by pouring cream into the metal cylinder and filling the space between the cylinder and the bucket with ice and salt. Ice and salt react together to lower the temperature below freezing. The cream was moved around by turning the handle so that it froze evenly.
