Amazon.com Product Description
With the unique Play and Freeze Ice Cream Maker, you can make ice cream while on camping trips, at picnics, barbecues, and many other places. You don't need electricity to make great tasting ice cream, but rather just add ice and rock salt in one end and ice cream mix in the other end. Then, have a ball as you shake it, pass it, or roll it around for 10 to 15 minutes. The ice cream mix can be as simple as cream, sugar, and vanilla or you can try a more adventurous flavor from the included recipe list or make up your own concoction. Made of durable advanced materials, the Ice Cream Ball is lightweight, portable, and easy to clean. 
Step 1, fill with ice. | 
Step 2, mix up ingredients. | 
Step 3, shake it up. | 
Step 4, enjoy. | How it Works: - Fill the ice end with as much ice as possible, then add 1/2 cup of rock salt to the pint size or 3/4 cup to the Mega size. The lid should be hand tightened--do not use the wrench.
- Mix up your ice cream ingredients in a container, then pour the mix into the end with the metal cylinder, leaving about one inch for expansion at the top. Hand tighten the lid.
- Have a ball! Shake, roll, and pass it around as you mix and freeze the ingredients. It's not necessary to shake the ball...just motion will do it.
- After about 10 minutes for the pint size and 15 minutes for the Mega ball, open the ice cream end using the included plastic wrench. Scrape the sides of the cylinder to mix up the ice cream using a plastic or wooden spoon (don't use a metal spoon as it will scratch the cylinder). Then check the ice end. Pour out the excess water and add more ice and up to 1/3 cup more rock salt to enhance the freezing ability. Close the lids securely and continue having a ball for approximately 5 to 10 more minutes (15 for the Mega).
- You will then have about a pint (or quart for the Mega ball) of delicious soft-serve ice cream. The consistency will vary based on the ice, your mix, the outside temperature, shaking frequency, etc. Once the ice cream is to the consistency of your liking, gently scoop it out and enjoy!
Important tips for using your Play & Freeze Ice Cream Maker: - Directions and recipes are inside the Ball.
- Use cream instead of half and half for richer tasting ice cream.
- Leave about an inch of space for expansion when you fill up the can with the ice cream mix.
- After 10 minutes (15 for Mega ball) of mixing (shaking, rolling, and passing), it is important to stir the ice cream mix (it freezes more around the can). Also, drain the water and refill with ice and additional rock salt. Have fun for another 10 to 15 minutes and you're done.
- Use the provided plastic wrench to open the ball, but not to close it.

fun for camping November 20, 2009

I gave these to family members as Christmas gifts. We all take them camping and each family brings the fixings for their favorite flavor of ice cream. The young children do lose interest rather quickly and the adults end up finishing the ice cream, but when it's done, everyone enjoys sampling all of the different flavors - anywhere from four to six different flavors. We have a fun time making the ice cream and it is a great family event.

First time we used the ball it fell out of my hands onto our hardwood floor and cracked 3/4 of the way around... What a waist... and a very expensive one time novelty Toy...!
Great, fun, but time-consuming November 19, 2009
Nadezhda Miloserdova (Moscow, Russia)
I knew its pros and cons so I was prepared. Yes, it takes time - about 30 minutes to get the ice cream. So what? Enjoy having fun together with kids!
I'd like to have more receipts enclosed. But I made some of my own.
Excellent source of entertainment for kids. November 9, 2009

My boy's received this for a gift last christmas. It was one of the few gifts that still maintain its novelty and enjoyment. I used it at several parties and the kids have a blast with it.... It also makes pretty decent ice cream. My only negative is that it makes too little ice cream. A helpful hint: pack the ice in as much as you can and for firmer ice cream, go longer on the "mix" time.
 Made great ice-cream but it took a whole team to do it! November 5, 2009

We used two of these to make ice cream for my brother and sisters birthday parties this year. The end product was great, however it took almost every attendee to make the ice cream. This is not a short process. It was kind of fun though, we would each have the ball for a few minutes, shake it up and pass it on. I'd say it took us a good 20 minutes to make the ice cream. I guess we burned off what we ate by making it! :)
