Good thing that batteries weren't included, it would be a mess inside that box after 40 years
When they made the product, they really thought of everything huh
@Nostalgic Waves right...sure they do...it's right next to the flux capacitor
This dude is my favorite reviewer. No inflated personally and not a corporate shill. Just an honest dude.
A genuine person when we see one, James is definitely one of them.
If you want more reviews like these, but for auto detailing products, Apex Auto Detail is pretty great.
You honestly think this guy is any good at making videos have you watched any other channels on TH-cam.
Yeah, this guy is really down to earth on reviews and just honest dude.
グレープフルーツ is your username "Grapefruit" in Katakana by chance? If so, that is pretty cool. I am always studying the characters so I love it when I can decipher them. Also, I do agree that I like how FreakinReviews is pretty genuine when it comes to his opinion of a product. Plus he puts it through real world tests as well. That is part of the reason why I like to watch.
this is a matter of perspective. you are looking at the "modern" versions of things. I was a kid in the 70's, and have made ice cream with the old hand crank makers. and yes, this is actually quicker and easier than the recipes that my parents mixed up, so that my sister and I could take turns for an hour cranking the handle, when my dad would have to finish it, because it got way too stiff for us kids to do it. Times change, but sometimes people lose sight of exactly how easy things have been made. keep in mind, even the electric machines in the 70's took a lot more prep and work than this one. and used rock salt, and since they were counter top, not in the freezer, you actually had to hear that loud grinding motor noise the whole time. good video, and a good reminder to people that tech has really come a long way.
I understand the sentiment but I don’t get why you’d have to crank the ice cream maker for over an hour, let alone multiple hours? I have an electric ice cream maker and all it is is a frozen bowl with an electric churn. So if you took a hand crank and slowly turned it for the 20 minutes in a bowl of ice - and then put it in the freezer to firm up, I don’t see why it would need hours of cranking. Unless you were a kid and it felt like hours but wasn’t lol.
I remember the hand cranking ice cream maker
I remember those days! And I remember turning the crank but mostly I remember is us kids sitting on the machine to help keep the ice inside while the older folks cranked! Those were good times! My folks got an electric one in the late 60's early 70's but it didn't work as well. Hopefully they work better now.
Yes, when i was young i would make ice-cream at my babysitters house. It was fun, but very long time consuming hand churning. It was a floor one that made a few gallons at a time. The ice would be outside a metal tube in the middle and you churned for sometime. Never needed a freezer during the process at all, well until it was done. Now in days there is way easier methods, but even in the early 90's hand cranked options still were better makers than electric ones, and far cheaper.
Now I am a cook professionally and the machine and process didn't make me cringe, only the recipe did. You can make ice cream very easy in a zip lock bag, though it is very cheap and isn't as great as even store bought ice cream. In the end i blame the silly recipe than the actually machine. Yes the cream was over whipped as that was not custard, next the churning is slow, fast will cause too much heat and would prevent proper chilling. I don't see the need for gelatin, but back then gelatin was used in a lot of products probably to hasten the process to taking shorter than it normally takes to make ice cream back in the 70's.
Anyways, fun to see products from back then, but yeah compared to technology now it is definitely not as good.
Those who have made hand made will like the 2020 version of easy 3 ingredients plus kosher salt and ice - milk, vanilla extract and sugar . Use 2 sealable baggies 1 quart size and one half gallon size. Put milk sugar vanilla in smaller bag and seal, take the gallon bag and add salt and ice and seal with smaller bag inside. Then shake it vigorously for approx 15 mins and it actually works ! My mom couldnt believe it worked and we went thru all the old styles. Enjoy and love this channel !
I remember making homade peach icecream in the 70's - it took forever - and it still was the best I've ever had.
Yes, it was a totally different time, nothing was “fast” ...except maybe the Times at Ridgemont High. 💃🏻🕺🏻
I also remember that the ice cream tasted better when I was young, the summers were longer, warmer and the movies were better. The grass was greener and every Christmas was white. Now some of that might even be true, but memory has a tendency to be very sentimental. Especially things like taste, smell and emotions are often idolized. One way to see just how much the memories can trick you is by watching a movie you remember fondly but haven't seen in say 30 to 40 years, and if you are brave then you get a kid or two that's the same age as you were back then to watch it with you. Odds are that you will find that it hasn't aged very gracefully, and it will be interesting to hear what a modern kid will have to say about it.
I'm not saying that your memory is wrong, just that it's not always quite as reliable as we wish it would be.
We made ice cream in the 60s and 70s with the wooden bucket, hand crank and salt and ice. I have since had many types of ice cream better than that! I'm an ice cream lover and there are many delicious ice creams out there now.
Bailey looked so hopeful when you sat on the sofa that she was gonna get some icecream - bless her. Cracking review you're my favourite chill down, Thanks James 🙂
I could not have resisted giving her some
I know right I thought he was going to give Bailey a bite or 2.., bummer
Shout out to Ron Popeil, in case he see this review. Thank you sir, for showing all of us we can imagine big. Even if we can't quite do it, we can keep dreaming and trying. That man never stopped his hussle. Deep respect.
Really like these looks into history!
I love it when it is like: here is something old and may not be safe or contains unsafe things we don't use today. Lets see if it works!
Back in the early 70s this would've been totally useful. Today we are used to go to the store and getting ice cream. Back then it was a special treat.
Ronco set it and forget it. Had one of those ice cream makers when I was a kid. I remember it made pretty good ice cream.
Set it and forget, will forever be ingrained into my mind.
Coldstone Creamery and other super-premium ice cream brands didn’t exist when I was a teenager. My first job was scooping it, at a Canadian imitation of Baskin-Robbins!
But wait, there's more! That was another one of his lines.
It was 74/76, back then it WAS easier to spend those hours making it yourself than go to the grocery. Especially depending on where you lived. If not in the city or suburbia, the grocery store was far, and closed at 6. Even in the city , the store closed at 9. Remember, stuff used to close.
I can remember when stores closed on sunday.
oh yeah, I forgot the crappy Sundays. Sundays were the worst.
Really fun to watch! Thanks for spending your day making ice cream...so that we don't have to!
The end of this comment reminds me of TheWolfPit reviewing dollar store foods, so we The People dont have to
EnigmaOfTheEchidna lol that’s what I thought tkl
@@enigmaoftheechidna6279 I've watched some of those videos...so that's definitely where I got it from!
It just made me want some lol
Stfu
Bailey says “You missed the most important test of all: letting me have some!”
No dogs are lactose intolerant. Unless you're in favor of making dogs sick
I think all the oil has evaporated out of that little motor lol. Very cool video though, set it and forget it.
Yeah, probably coulda used a little grease before use.
Next we need a 2020 ice cream maker!!! Cause I want to get one, and need a review first! Please and Thank you!
I don't remember who posted it but a couple of months ago I watched a video where they were comparing 3 different ice cream makers. Two were modern styles, one of which was fairly expensive. The third was electric but looked like an old fashioned crank style. To their surprise that one worked best and I think they said it cost around $40 dollars. The most expensive one didn't freeze very well and the one conked out on them.
@@rdph6693 I found this after a quick search. th-cam.com/video/JG6XS6X6auM/w-d-xo.html
The real problem I'd have is that my freezer is a mess and there's no way I'd have space for that 😂
THIS is something I can relate to...
Seriously. A freezer for most people is like the layers of the earth. There is an inner core that never sees the light of day. A middle area that gets reconfigured and moved but never taken out. And an outer layer that gets used within a week (typically including ice cream, steam-in-bag veggies, and Bagel Bites)
@@rickeykoga2312 Ha! So true. The once every couple of years purge happens where you try to figure out what certain items were before they are tossed in the garbage. Like a geologist digging down through the layers to the cold icy core of random half used bags of food that have frozen together into a solid mass.
We used to have an old ice cream maker when I was young. A wooden bucket with a metal bucket inside for the ice cream. It had a motor with a stirrer. You just added your ingredients and added ice and salt to the outside bucket. Turned it on and came back 45 min later and it was done. Tasted good if I remember correctly. Took about an hour for a gallon of ice cream.
I’m trying to put my mindset in the late 70s when I was just a little kid. I can see this being useful compared to the very limited flavor availability in the grocery store at the time, allowing for flavors that weren’t being mass-produced at the time. Also, the only other alternative for homemade ice cream were the big hand-crank models which were a fixture of our extended family’s cookouts. So, while there are much better alternatives today, I think it was a good product for its time.
My parents had an electric version of those hand cranked machines. Mom's favorite was the vanilla recipe with peaches added to it. Eventually the metal mix container developed a leak and the brine from the melting ice was contaminating the ice cream.
Next review: the Snoopy Snow Cone machine 😀
My cousin had one of those back in the 80's
YES!
This review made me remember the sno cone machine 😀
I actually think I have memories of that ice cream maker, but if it was 1974... I couldn't have been more than 5 years old. Still, for that time, it was fairly advanced.
This was back in the age when computers used reel-to-reel technology 😁😁😁
And I keep telling kids about floppy disks.
I had a snow cone machine that was a snow man, then I didn't like snow cones so much after that.
It never works!
Man, seeing Bailey getting old makes me sad, I remember when she looked very young still
Folks had more time to make ice cream for the entire day in the 70’s. I have to admit, that slower pace makes me nostalgic.
This machine was revolutionary you didn't have to keep checking the ice level in the bucket around the can. You only had to follow your favorite ice cream recipe. Then the freezing and dashing instructions so much simpler than using an out of freezer machine.
Ice-cream maker instructions:
Step 1: Make Ice-cream
Step 1: assemble product
Step 2-5: laboriously cook & prepare all the ice cream ingredients as normal
Step 6: wait for hours as if chills
Step 7: finish creating the ice cream by hand
Step 8: place finished ice cream in the automatic ice cream maker for some reason
Step 9: wait a quarter of an hour even though the iced cream is done
Step 10: finally enjoy ice cream 😉
@Hellbound420 Step 12: Put the machine in the cupboard and never use it again.
@@maenad1231 You left out an unnecessary step that most people anyway.
Step 9.5 Fall sleep waiting for ice cream to set.
This actually looks easier than most ice cream makers i've seen in modern times. not having to get a bunch of ice and rock salt sounds so much better
A few months ago I found a factory sealed Showtime Rotisserie among my husband's things.....opened it and it works perfectly. JUST SET IT AND FORGET IT
Love seeing the old Ronco products
Yay, Bailey! Always love seeing her in a video!
I wasn’t cringing...I WAS however craving mashed potatoes.
Same here, I thought: Serve with biscuits and gravy and some greens. Yummy
Remember, this was before organic ice cream. You can control what goes in. The common ice cream had a lot of preservatives and chemicals. The ice cream you just made is a lot healthier than what we were eating.
Even today the ice cream you make at home is better! Organic is just a sales label there is no standard for what it actually means.
Hi , i understand what you meant , keep in mind that the Organic growing method as Now been Popularized due to major changing trend in the way we approach the Healty living lifestyle due to the abondance of scientific studies ( confirming the dangerous chemical in our foods ) emerging to the general public , this '' EMERGENCE " was in work many years ago and is still a work in progress that deserve even more attention than ever . But the ORGANIC growing method is at the roots of the agriculture industry, as the first cultivator since the beginning of time had only natural means to grow their crops , depending on each other farming technique , also witnessing the growing prowess of their collegues , being able to study their success and in turn if needed failures . Due to the evolution of farming technique and the worlds thecnologies different approach in the Agricultural industry have emerged , including the use of Man-MADE artificial & synthetic Pesticides Fungicide and Growth Enhancing Products that most or ALL have detrimental side effect and are more hazardous to the human health Than their ORGANIC counterpart.
The Organic way was there at Day 1 of the cration of Agriculture, it yhe Original method of growing Produce , THEN CAME THE REST OF ...
MerkDolf I hope I don’t start a huge internet fight but organic certification does actually have meaning, sometimes well beyond what it seems to mean. USDA organic is somewhat watered down from Oregon Tilth and the other standards that were previously maintained in this country, but, for example, here are the standards for USDA Organic Dairy www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media/Dairy%20-%20Guidelines.pdf - they strictly limit hormones and antibiotics, regulate feed ingredients, etc
But homemade ice cream does indeed allow you control over the ingredients so we agree on that part!
Back then everything was “organic”, there was no “conventional” way vs “organic” so that term was not used! It was just that way.
I love watching your videos especially when you have products from the 70's. I was born in 77. That ice cream maker is old than me. It's cool to see stuff that far back. ❤
I've got the exact "The Ice Cream machine" that my mother gave me when I moved out of home. Mine is still in its original box too.
Bailey's tail wagging away while you talk. She's reviewed you and approves.
People had all the free time back then in the 70’s, so, to spend four or five hours to make ice cream was nothing. Nowadays I want to skip a 10 seconds commercial after just 5 seconds.
Only kids had all the free time in the 70s, lol! Both my parents worked their asses off to provide for three kids. And if we looked like we had free time, they found us something to do whether we liked it or not!
Nobody I knew spent half a day making ice cream, no wonder this gadget failed so hard!
Ironic that in 2020, many of us took up diy projects that could take *days* to finish.
For eg: I did my first oil painting over the course of a week until I was happy with the results.
@@maggpiprime954 I mean that's what grandmas are for right
Only people who didnt live in the 70s would say something as silly as this.
@@maggpiprime954 Just because *you* experienced that, doesn't mean everyone who lived in the 70's did.
Parents also worked, but they still made time to interact and spend time with their *FIVE* kids. Jobs consisted of door to door sales (own property, not a salaryman), labor jobs here and there.
Taught me how to stitch, cook, paint, instrument or whatever, didn't make an excuse that they were working to not spend time with their children.
Also, 80% of the work is literally the ice cream chilling in the freezer.
We also did this, except without the machine. It was like flavored crushed ice. Still a pretty cool experience nonetheless.
for 1974 this is time saving. Back then it took weeks and you had a kid dragged off by wolves midway through. Not to mention the Indian attacks and the dysentery
Loved the Ronco showtime rotisserie we had in the house as a kid, many good dinners made with that thing
It's like a review using a time machine!
someone received that as a Christmas gift, and had a big smile on their face, and pretended to be so happy with this fabulous invention. later that night, they grumbled, and threw it in the back of their cabinet till they died, and the house was cleaned out
This brings back great memories. My grand parents gave me this same ice cream maker back in '74 when I was 13.
It worked.
Cheers!
That ice cream recipe is designed to work every time. The gelatin will keep it from freezing solid, and it reflects the "healthy eating" of the mid 70s.
The actual device isn't too different than the modern ice cream makers that have you freeze the bowl first.
Baily is pure and wholesome
Absolutely correct a no nonsense reviewer, no hype and pretty funny at times. I have bought a few of his products he reviewed with no regrets.
Let see some more outtakes, they are too good.
We are so used to everything being ready asap We forget that things take a while when making from scratch. It was a cool review, tho! Tech has come so far!
Ronco brings back many commercial memories as I grew up in the 70s.
Only by RonCo! and you can now get it in your favorite drug store, just look for the AS SEEN on TV label!
My mother had the Veg-O-Matic vegetable slicer.
I love Ron Popeil inventions - some good, some bad and some just simply amusing. 😊 Great video as always, James.👍
I remember a Ronco product where it's an inflatable pool raft hung between cars to protect the doors while opening. Oh oh also a product I need now, spray on hair.
Good thing the noise is all inside the freezer! Bailey is saying: “I like ice cream, too!” with her eyes!
Really love the Ronco videos, keep up the excellent work!
When you were whipping that heavy cream with your mixer I was so afraid you were going to make butter. That’s very plausible when you mix heavy cream too fast.
That’s not how butter is made.
@@MasterMayhem78 yes it is
Stuff back then and onward wasn't necessary to make it easier, it was to enable you to make it yourself. It was more of a family thing to do together with the kids or something along those lines. I remember using one as a kid with the wooden bucket design, using ice and salt, and you had to hand-crank it for a long enough time we all had to take turns. It was really good (from my kid-brain memories), but we never did it again. lol
James!!! Thank you!
So I have a story about this product. In the late 70's I bought one of these at a yard sale. (Although the box and the machine are a different color the photo's and the "Ronco" name was on it.) It had a $9.99 sticker from a store that used to be here called WoolWorth's. I thought it would be a funny gift to give a family member for Christmas (Always buy someone a weird extra gift). I never used it. Come Christmas I gave it to the person, as a family we laughed....then the craziness began. The following Christmas the person who I gave it to re-wrapped it and gave it to somebody else, and this activity continued with the rule that you could not re-gift it on the same day. Christmas melded into Birthdays, Graduations, Anniversary's for about 20 some odd years until it was taken to "Tony & Tina's Wedding" and given as a gift. So there went that fun tradition.....until I saw the exact same one in box on e-bay in the late 90's. So I bought it, but didn't tell anyone. The person that got it that Christmas was pissed. (There was a coup to rid us of it) Bahahaha. So this went on until the early 10's when the person last gifted it took each piece and wrpped it seperately and gave everyove a piece. Now its gone for good. But it was funny as hell when we'd try guessing who had it and who was gonna get it. Thanks for the memories.
From someone who makes pretty damn good homemade ice cream. Just want to say your mixture was wayyyy to damn thick. If that was my mixture I would have "Watered" it down with some milk. You usually don't get a good batch your first time though. There is a specific thickness your looking for with your custard and final product. Which a good way to figure out what that is, get some of your favorite ice cream, melt a little of it, and then investigate the thickness of that. You also might have mixed in too much air while stirring. I would stir with a wooden spoon not a mixer. The machine is what is suppose to mix the air into the ice cream. You probably don't give a shit and have enough money to get your own ice cream. Just wanted to give you some tips if you ever try again... Also after it is mixed up you want to let it freeze overnight. If you get a good batch it makes you want to try again. Especially when you mix in your own favorite flavors. My fav is Coffee Carmel with Toffee bits. Which I can't find anywhere, so I make my own.
(Edit) Just wanted to add, I know this is a review of an older product and its instructions. Which you want to follow to a tee to test the product. It was just too damn hard watching that and not wanting to say something :)
What’s your recipe I’m starting to make ice cream
@@cameronknowles6267 Use this to start cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016626-salted-caramel-ice-cream Substitute 1/4 or 1/3 of the milk with extremely strong coffee depending on how strong u like it. Make the coffee strong, Like stronger than you have ever made or drank. Remember that small bit has to give the coffee taste to the whole batch. Then I add 2 Heath/Skor or some other Toffee bars chopped up at the very end. Like at the end of the run in the actually Ice Cream Maker when theres 1-2 minutes left on the machine. Use the salt if you like salty, I do, and most of the time I add more than 1/8 tsp. I usually go for 1/4 or 1/3 tsp. A little tip on making the caramel is start the mixture off at a lower temp till all the sugar is dissolved. Then after its clear with no granules turn it up to full temp. You might need a little more water than what is says in the recipe. Keep adding Small amounts till all the sugar is wet. Use a brush and water to brush down the undissolved granules on the side. Don't stir the sugar after its melted only swish the pan around a small bit to mix. Or else your mixture will crystalize. That's all the tips I can give you. Let me know how you like it if you try.
@@cameronknowles6267 Just want to add one more thing that I forgot... sometimes when I make it the final mixture is too thick and I have to put a little more milk in it. Look on youtube and find someone who makes ice cream. Look at the thickness of the mixture before it's put into the machine to get an idea... Good Luck.
Yeah way too much air. I hate airy ice cream.
@@vinstinct Definitely, the better brands are more dense. Hagen Das, Ben and Jerry's etc... Need a little air in the mix though or else its too hard to scoop.
There’s no way that this thing would fit in my freezer, it’s worst than my room when i was a kid. 🤭
Gotta love ol Ronco products.
Used to watch his infomercials at like 3 am...lol
The man was quite a salesman!
I've Saud this on prior videos. Bailey is so darn wonderful and cute. She's the star.
Your videos are so fun to watch and informative. I appreciate your love and care for Bailey. You understand how amazing she is.
Thanks for great videos.
Poor Bailey, she really wants some ice cream.
I laughed so hard watching this! Would of been faster raising the cow from birth.
Wow, that's old school ice cream. Used to make it that way with one of those old school hand cranks with the rock salt. A LOT of work but for the time that this came out, I can see how it would be an improvement. Love you Bailey, such a good girlie
I use a Breville Ice Cream maker for 2 quarts. I love it, 99 bucks for good ice cream on 25 mins. Just gotta chill their basin which is a 24 hr thing but once you get rolling it flies by. Check that one out!
It’s loud because it probably had a high gear reduction to have lots of torque and all the gears are just loud along with the motor. Friction can be quite loud, like car tires on the road.
Pulse they are cheap plastic gears for occasional use, a few times a year.
This would be great for a stay at home mother that could start it in the morning and have it for dinner. But of course this is in the 60s
I agree with Freakin' Reviews. We could easily use the ingredients, do the prep work, cool it, run it in a good blender, freeze it and get the same thing. In fact, I'm now stealing the recipe and making my own ice cream.
Omg!! I used to love staying up late as a kid and watching all Ron Popiel's (??sp) commercials. I wanted to buy everything!! Lol I never had this product though. Thanks for all your reviews.
Yeah. up until the mid 90's when frost free freezers became the norm, they were made of metal. If you were rich you could buy one that defrosted on its own. If not, you got a butter knife or a sturdy spatula and started picking.
Once I used a screwdriver to chip away and I accidentally broke the gas line that was embedded in the walls of the freezer.
I rented a home with an old freezer. Looked like the Arctic 🥶 when it would freeze up like that. Big ice berg. What a pain in the ass. But it worked other than that.
Awesome! New freaking review!
You should do more reviews of these vintage infomercial gadgets. They're rad.
My favorite Ronco device was the Ronco dehydrator. I made lots and lots of beef jerky with it.
4 times the cost
50 times the effort
why didn't this ever catch on?
You’d still need to stir it, would you rather spend the 20 minutes stirring ice cream?
I used to love to see what Ronco came out with on TV! Ron Popiel had so many ideas, most were kinda hokey, but fun! Thanks for the blast from the past!
Bailey is so sweet, you say good girl, she said where is the icecream.🐕🦺💗🍦☺ fun to see old inventions, thank you 🌞👍always entertaining
James, I enjoyed watching you make ice cream. Where were you able to find a factory sealed product from 1974? Can you share how much it cost you?
I'm guessing ebay
I'm still waiting on a review of the bass o matic as seen on Saturday Night Live.
After a long day of work feels good to unwind and watch your videos
This was such a fun and interesting vlog. Thanks for the blast from the past.
"But wait, there's more"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Took me a second to remember what it meant by “metal base at bottom of freezer”.
Love your videos! Even when i have no interest in the items you review I still like watching because of your personality and easy going demeanor!
Back in that day (70s) they had to add rock salt,ice,etc.. and then crank the ice cream by hand. So it was a big deal in that time.Thanks for taking your time to make ice cream
I mean, we're taking an ancient product and comparing it to today's standard. It's not exactly a fair comparison... the question is "will it work" and it did exactly what it said it did.
But I digress, let's talk about the machine itself... it was made in the 70's, where the "housewife" stereotype was prevalent. With the ingredients that you used, I'm assuming that those are things that people already had in their cupboard, especially so for the people who likes home made stuff.
Still, it's ice cream made from scratch, you can only rush things to an extent that modern science will allow you. Like, you can't cook a perfect steak in 30 seconds.
So it's perfectly reasonable to assume that you can't have ice cream in 30 minutes from heavy cream.
Cost wise, you just used evap, gelatin, water, heavy cream, vanilla. If you're buying a container full (like the vanilla) of course it'd be more expensive. But if you already have these things lying around (which again, would be typical for people who likes home made stuff), then you should only be considering the cost on what you *USED* not the whole container. By then, you'd probably be saving money making your own.
Lastly, the novelty of it is also a factor. This could've been something a parent would do on the weekend with their child. They could experiment with adding fruits, candies etc.
I was cringing when I saw you use a saucepan for the double boiler lol.. Usually, you use a glass bowl... too cute..
I’m a proud BOOMER and this was a lot of fun. Remember there was not any modern choices back in the day. Brought up memories of the amazing crank freezer surrounded by family taking turns hand cranking it to perfection. Loved looking in the rear view mirror! ❤️ 🍨
I really got into making home made ice cream, imo the hardest part to replicate is the texture from an industrial made one, the best homemade ice cream is fruit ice cream because you can use fresh fruit and that really makes a difference from cheap flavored ice cream
Outstanding, amusing blast from the past . Made me chuckle.
This channel calms and relaxes me It’s nice to take a break and watch something of zero importance I truly love your channel I suppose it is important now that I think about it your channel is very important
I love when you do the vintage ronco stuff!!!
Thank you so very much. I love when you find stuff like that.
I grew up in the 70's. I don't remember that ice cream maker, others ice maker were large, need rock salt(?), and also alot of time to make. I also know there wasn't the ice cream selection there is today. Plus what else did we have to do? Lol. Based on that I could see the appeal of this device. Today homemade ice cream is so easy, even easier just buy some ( from the hundreds available). Thanks for the demo
12:09 She doesn't believe you, she requires a taste test to validate your words.
Love Bailey's expression, like Dude, when are you going to cut loose with that ice cream and offer me some !! Yup, I would have been to Cold Stone and back, through bumper to bumper traffic, and finished the ice cream by that time. Love the old Ronco's !! It had its time and place. Now I do no-churn ice cream.......1 can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 2 tbl. of either rum or bourbon, 2 cups heavy cream......whip cream into soft peaks, add other ingredients, mix lightly w/hand mixer, freeze for 6 hrs.
Love the comments by James around the 6 minute mark. Great video,well done!
I was raised in the 70s. Really this isn't so bad. Back then you had to send checks in the mail, wait for everything. Had to watch whatever was on the TV, no recordings, no computers, no anything. And most moms stayed at home. We even had milk delivered. So a stay-at-home mom (I was one myself) could prepare the mix, and while it chilled go about her day. Then just let it do the work mixing in the freezer, and have it ready in time for dessert. In that sense it was a time saver, and fun. The mindset wasn't insta-ice cream (nothing was instant other than pudding); the mindset was something making itself while you are busy elsewhere. Plus a well stocked pantry would have most of the ingredients. It wouldn't cost that much to make.
Best video yet! Try and find more kitchen gadgets like these from the past!
These vintage ronco reviews are my favorite!!!!!
I used to watch the RONCO infomercials in the middle of the night when I could not sleep. I miss those, we do not see too many on TV now a days.
This would make a good little series on your channel, opening and testing old as seen on tv products.
Yay! I'm glad to see you today! I love your counter tops!
Likewise! :)
Ronco also made a record vacuum! And I believe also an FM transmitting microphone! Also to be honest I swear to God I've seen this product somewhere on TH-cam!
I vaguely remember that record vacuum. I may have to find one!
@@Freakinreviews that would be awesome! I always enjoy your amazing videos keep up the good work and be safe! 😁
Heres the Commercial for it. th-cam.com/video/KVpwXSjBZ48/w-d-xo.html (for the vacuum.)
Perfect for all of those K-Tel records that kept stacking up.
Mrs. Glass’s peach ice cream. 6 hours to make - 5 minutes to eat a quart of it. TOTALLY worth every minute!!
I love these videos. I never buy any products but you're very entertaining. You're the only youtuber I watch consistently. Thanks for the good content!
Thanks for all your great stuff.
I subbed to your channel years ago, back when Bailey was young and constantly jumping all over you. Now she seems so docile and quiet. I hope she's doing okay. Her legs seemed a little wobbly getting on the couch. Take good care of her. I miss my golden every day.
Love watching you make it. Cheaper to go the store to buy some already made ice cream.
I like these types of reviews more than regular reviews, do more of these!
