Win the Race for Rolled Ice Cream

Whynter ICR-300SS 0.5-Quart Stainless Steel Rolled Ice Cream Maker with Compressor

Ice Cream just can’t stand still. Leave it alone it melts. Put it in the fridge, it melts a little bit slower. Put it in the freezer, it doesn’t roll up. What is one to do?

Enter the Whynter ICR-300SS 0.5-Quart Stainless Steel Rolled Ice Cream Maker with Compressor. The countertop appliance sits (stationary) on the shelf just waiting to roll up some frozen delicious goodness. Pour on your ice cream mix, add some goodies, chop, mix and roll. The frozen surface stays cold with a compressor freezer that gives you time to move and meld your custom ice cream treat — without having to race its unyielding desire to melt. You win!

The delicate dance of melting cheese on top of a hamburger on the grill can sometimes get messy. Messy in a good way. Except when the cheese doesn’t melt all the way through turning instead into a semi-solid glob of yellow-orange not-so-goodness. One could leave the cheeseburger on for longer, but not without risking it becoming overdone. Ah, but there is a solution to get all that melty goodness without turning that burger into a hockey puck. Put a lid on it.

Since it is probably a good idea to use something that can stand up to the heat of an open flame, the all-metal construction of the Nordic Ware Basting Cover would do the trick. Or you can do it like they do down in the French Quarter of New Orleans and use a hub cap instead. But then again, considering the price of car parts in general, perhaps this would be a more economical way to melt the cheese — leaving lots of money leftover to replenish the hockey puck supply with the real thing.
