Country Ice Cream Freezer

Click Here for the 20 qt Country Freezer. 

Country Ice Cream Freezers are Amish handcrafted just like the old-time ice cream makers made in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Homemade ice cream churning in one of these old-fashioned freezers is sure to bring back memories.  

Country Freezers are made from rustproof parts. The white oak wood tub is complete with stainless adjustable bands. The mixer has an extra heavy-duty stainless steel seamless can and heavy-duty zinc alloy gear drives. 

These are double-acting mixers, which mix the ice cream thoroughly. The 2qt-8qt are hand crank.

We selected these mixers based on the quality of construction using all American-made parts. We found one of the most popular freezers on the market, using imported gears. We also liked the fact these freezer wooden tubs are made of white oak. White oak has been the standard wood used for making barrels, and other wooden containers for liquid use for centuries, because of its long durability. Add to this, three stainless steel adjustable bands are used, while the competitor still uses galvanized steel to make the bands. These bands come in constant contact with salt and begin rusting rather quickly. They also do not adjust, should the tub staves dry out and leak after long periods of storage.

As with all wooden tub ice cream freezers the wood tub must be maintained to prevent wood shrinkage in dry atmospheres and not stored in hot and dry garages and attics to prevent shrinkage that will lead to leakage. If the container is used only periodically a routine should be established to fill with water to maintain the staves. The manufacturer does not warrant the ice cream freezer tubs from leakage. Normally filling with hot water will return the staves back to fitting tightly and stop leakage.

Why Country Freezers are your best quality purchase:

• Amish handcrafted (the old-time quality, the company does not try to compete with imports)
• Tall design for optimum freezing
• Extra-heavy seamless stainless steel can
• Rustproof manganese-bronze housing
• Rustproof zinc gears (stainless steel available upgrade on 20-qt)
• White Oak wooden tub (the same used to make whiskey and other barrels) 
• Adjustable stainless-steel tub straps (three of them to keep the tub staves tight) are not needed on the 2-qt poly tub.
• Stainless steel shaft & handle
• Stainless steel dasher now on all models
• ¼-turn slide latch (positive locking)
• All stainless-steel fittings (nothing to rust)
• Should last a lifetime
• 5-year warranty on all stainless-steel parts

Note: Country Freezers frequently use different spinner handles on their different hand-crank freezers. The actual freezer may come with a plastic or wooden spinner. The smaller sizes may just come with a solid handle.
