Ice Cream Storage

[lillibet]

As my regular readers know, I've recently started making ice cream and sorbet on a fairly frequent basis. All the containers I've tried using have cracked from the whole freezing-and-being-poked-with-spoons process.

So, what do you store your ice cream in?

I use Tupperware freezer containers, but if you drop them, they crack:( They don't crack from being frozen and poked with spoons however.

We use our leftover commercial yogurt containers. They seem to be made of more flexible plastic and thus don't tend to crack/break if dropped.

Now, see, this would be a great idea. Except that we make our own yogurt. Maybe I'll have to break down and buy some just to get the containers :)

I could give you 4-5 if you like - we've been collecting them via seph & hobbit for Baitcon use for years now.
Homemade yogurt sounds wonderful. I may try that this summer.

That would be great! You could send them to rehearsal with trowa_barton some night.

Homemade yogurt is awesome. We do it in the slow cooker and it's wicked easy. Tt's so cheap, compared with buying yogurt--takes the average per ounce price down to three or four cents--and there's nothing in it but what you add. We sweeten it with honey or maple syrup, add chopped or pureed fruit--you can also just stir in jam--or just cook with it plain. I make half a gallon every couple of weeks.
