Ice Cream Maker, 1850-1875
Add to SetSummary
Americans love ice cream. But, until the mid-1800s, it was not a common treat. More Americans got to enjoy this creamy confection only when ice cream's ingredients became affordable and inventors patented labor-saving crank-and-dasher devices. Placing this tin container in a bath of ice-chilled water and turning a crank churned the cream and sugar inside into a sweet delight.
