Cuisinart SCM-10P1 Snow Cone Maker, Plastic, Red

Product Information

If you are serious about churning out many delicious snow cones for a crowd, look no further. Great Northern is an industry leader in the concession market, and it has a reputation for quality. The brass and stainless steel construction and easy-on-the-eye finish make this a machine you’ll want to display at the center of your pool party, along with other colorful summer desserts like rainbow rice krispie treats. Soon, parents would experiment with flavourings, giving their children an icy treat perfect for the warm summer months.

A snow cone is much more than plain pieces of tiny ice. You need flavor (and cups). With most machines, you will need to supply your own ingredients, but there are a few complete kits out there that will help you get started. These kits are particularly great for folks who need a snow cone maker on short notice or don’t want to go through any hassle trying to select the perfect flavors for an upcoming party. Some people love to make rainbow effect cones, or you can combine fruity flavours for the perfect refreshing treat. Popular combinations included vanilla with egg and sugar, but entrepreneurs soon saw the potential of these treats.This handy, compact machine is affordable, easy to operate, clean, transport (for shaved ice on the road!), and store. What's more, it comes with a simple-to-use flexible silicone mold that can accommodate 15 ice cubes, which produces quite a bit of shaved ice. Some shaved ice machines come with flavored syrups that include cherry, grape, or orange, but you can also get creative and use other toppings. Pour some sweetened condensed milk on the shaved ice for a "snow cap," or fresh juice or chunks of fruit such as pineapple. Puree up fruit like watermelon or throw on some ice cream, and why not put on some chocolate chips while you're at it?

This electric machine makes just as delicious frozen lemonades, slushies, and adult party drinks (spike some frozen limeade for a grownup summer treat) as it does stellar snow cones and shaved ice. It's nearly effortless to operate—just add ice cubes, flip a switch, and it shaves enough ice for four cones in under a minute. Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now. Bacardi and Coke is a popular choice, or you can create a Pina Colada treat and have your very own tropical party. The Blender Method

Ice, delicious ice baby! Perfect substitute for ice cream. Add a unique feature to your business and offer your customers snow cones! Create the classic Snow Cone flavours we know all your customers will love!

Place some ice cubes into the blender and turn it on. Remember, you want to achieve the same consistency as sliced ice, so try not to blitz it into a slushie. You'll typically need around two tablespoons of syrup per snow cone, but this will depend on how sweet you want it to be. A good snow cone machine will shave the ice into the perfect consistency, making your life a lot easier. Avoid soap when taking care of your shaved ice maker, and never immerse it in water. The best way to clean your machine is with a vinegar and water solution. Mix the two in a spray bottle and spray down the shaving plate, ice chamber, and ice chute, then carefully wipe them out with a soft cloth. Be careful—the blades that cut through the ice are incredibly sharp.

Concentrated syrups are more cost-effective than making your own and last a lot longer. For example, Appleton Sweets slush syrup comes in five-litre bottles, which will be perfect for home use or for small shops to sell more products in the summer. While its materials could be a little more durable, its overall performance and ability to serve multiple people make it worthy of its mid-range price tag. This is a common question, and the answer is yes and no. Snow cones are made with shaved ice, whereas slushies are made with crushed ice.
