7 is not possible for ice and salt freezers. I’m not familiar with any other kinds of freezer and in fact only just heard about them a couple weeks ago. What should one do? Opening the container during freezing is a BAD plan because it can leak salty water into the gelato/ice cream, and removing the container is a pain because then all the ice has to be dumped out and put back in. Any way around this?
Rosie, I’m not sure. I use an electric ice cream freezer. There is a hole in the top which allows for adding ingredients later in the process. For example, once the mixture is partially frozen, chocolate chips could be added.
