The best method is to set the Cold-Control at the coldest position approximately one-half hour before placing the mixture in the freezer for freezing. This assures colder temperatures in the freezing compartment, which results in faster freezing and better desserts. After the mixture is completely frozen, the Cold-Control should be set at an intermediate position to keep the de

Mellowing improves desserts
Mellowing improves desserts
All desserts, regardless of kind or the time required for freezing, are much improved in flavor and texture by allowing them to mellow. Especially is this true for fruit creams, fruit salads and similar combinations. This is accomplished by allowing the dessert to remain in the freezing compartment at a higher temperature than that at which it is frozen for some time before it is served. This temperature is obtained by setting the Cold-Control at an intermediate position, as described on page 4

To avoid buttery taste
To avoid buttery taste
A buttery taste in frozen deserts is usually caused by one of two things. Either the cream has been over-whipped or it is too rich in butterfat. The butterfat content of whipping cream varies greatly in different states. In certain localities whipping cream will contain as high as 40 per cent butterfat, making it too rich for a frozen dessert. In this case, it should be diluted with coffee cream or milk. The standard butterfat content for whipping cream is 28 per cent. However, it is possible to
