Make super premium, Chocolate, Andes mint, Oreo Ice cream.

Step 2 Collect your equipment

  The only special piece of equipment that you'll need is and Ice Cream maker of some sort.  I have only ever used (and only since Christmas 2010, Thanks MOM!) the ice cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer .  It is basically a double walled (think thermos) bowl that is filled with some sort of liquid sealed inside. This bowl is (for me) always kept in the freezer (the colder the better). It also comes with the proper attachments to mix your soon to be ice cream. I highly recommend it (although I've never used anything else, In fact, I've only made ice cream three times so far)

Other than the "ice cream maker" You will need a bunch of standard kitchen stuff, but to be thorough I'll list what I can think of.

Stove top    (gas preferred by me)
Thermometer   (I like the digital instant read type)
Sauce pans    (one medium, one small)
Measuring container   (quart, at least)
Wisk
teaspoon
Kitchen scale
Ingredient bowls , various   (I like Pyrex , but you'll need at least one medium size metal bowl)
Stirring device (I use a plastic spoon)
Ladle
Spatula
Refrigerator (set to at least 40 deg F)
Storage containers   (I like the semi disposable ones, I'm not sure what size, but I think they hold a bit more than a pint. I use three)
Energy source   (I use a combination of Natural Gas and AC Electricity. You can use whatever you desire)

I think that just about covers it. Feel free to comment if I missed something

It is crucial that your ice cream maker bowl thing is WELL frozen. Like I said I keep mine in the freezer, so It's always frozen.
