00:11Today, we're going to make a very dangerous competition.
00:21Because I have three ice creams made using three different modes on this AC1800 and only one can win.
00:30And taking advantage of the fact that it has many modes, I stepped away from the classic ice cream we've
00:35always had to try three different twists.
00:44I'm gonna tell you something, I already have favorites. I don't know if that'll change by the end of the
00:49video when I try them.
00:57And here's the good part. I'm not going to decide which is the best machine.
01:01I'm going to tell you which of the three ice creams I like the most.
01:07Zecotec has sent me this Gelatec Gelatec 1800 Touch which, as you can see, is very beautiful and elegant thanks
01:15to its touch screen.
01:16It has nine automatic modes for results like you'd get at an artisan ice cream shop designed to adapt the
01:22process to each type of ice cream.
01:24That way, you get different textures and different final finishes.
01:29Also, it has the rest spin function so you can rework the bases if they've turned out too hard or
01:35brittle.
01:36It creates artisanal ice cream instantly, and once frozen you can enjoy them in just five minutes.
01:42Built-in recipe guide, customizable settings, easy to clean, you can take apart and wash the jars, lids, and blade
01:50in the dishwasher, everything.
01:52And you can also add your favorite mix-ins to your recipes, including chunks like cookies, nuts, chocolate, fruit.
01:58I bet you're already getting ideas.
02:02And I'll start with a chocolate ice cream with a special texture.
02:06I'm going to make it Gelato with that creamy texture typical of Italian ice cream shops.
02:13For many people, the best ice cream shops in the world.
02:17And if a machine can't make you a good chocolate ice cream, that's not a good start.
02:25In a saucepan over low heat, I've just added 300 milliliters of milk, which is a cup and a half.
02:31I also add a cup of cream, or heavy cream.
02:34Basically, one of those small cartons we've always used.
02:37In it goes.
02:38Remember to squeeze it well, otherwise you won't get every last dropout.
02:44We're also going to add some extra flavor with a splash of vanilla essence or extract,
02:49and we'll enhance it with a pinch of salt.
02:53That's right, even in sweets.
02:56Salt makes a difference too.
02:58Also, use whatever sweetener you like.
03:00I add two teaspoons of erythritol, but you can use sugar, condensed milk, whatever you prefer.
03:07Finally, two egg yolks.
03:10We're going to mix all of this quickly while it heats up over a low flame.
03:19I add about 120 grams of dark chocolate or baking chocolate.
03:26It's a little more than half a bar.
03:29Make sure to chop it into pieces so that with the heat from the mixture, it melts quickly.
03:36I'm telling you, this smells absolutely amazing.
03:41When the chocolate is melted, you can take it off the heat.
03:45And this liquid is what we're going to use to fill one of the three containers
03:50that come with our Gelatec Gelatec 1800 Tac.
03:56Right up to the line that's marked for us.
03:59Then once it's cooled down, we can cover it.
04:03Our second contender.
04:05Something completely different.
04:07We're talking about a strawberry and lemon ice cream.
04:12And with a fresher texture.
04:13Nope, we're not going to make it smoother.
04:15We're going to make a sorbet-style one.
04:19Did you know that if you roll a lemon a little, then the juice comes out more easily?
04:26Yeah, yeah.
04:27You squeeze it, and the liquid comes out much faster.
04:31I'm going to squeeze a lemon, and I'm going to grate another one over here.
04:38But we're going to use the juice and also the lemon zest.
04:41The process is just as simple as before.
04:44Half a cup of water.
04:46That's about 100 milliliters.
04:49Same amount of water.
04:50Sugar.
04:51100 grams.
04:52That's half a cup.
04:53And we're also going to add the lemon juice and the zest.
04:59Put this over medium heat until you see that the sugar is completely dissolved.
05:06If you're generous with a lemon, when you taste it, it'll be so refreshing you'll say,
05:12That's so good.
05:15To make this faster, once it's mixed, I pour the liquid into a cup so it cools down quickly.
05:24On the other hand, let's take strawberries, although you could use any fruit.
05:30I'm going to use 400 grams.
05:34I remove the green parts, wash them, put them in a jar suitable for your blender,
05:40and blend them right away, no fuss.
05:44Once you have a kind of puree, you add that syrup we just prepared, which should already be a bit
05:53cool.
05:55Keep blending until it's fully combined.
06:01And we pour this liquid into the second container.
06:07I'm going to do it, but this had to be...
06:10And if I don't put a Maria cookie on the channel every now and then, you might even get upset.
06:17And this one is done in no time.
06:20You take three yogurts, if they're Greek style, even better.
06:24We're going to put them in a large container.
06:28You also add a splash of vanilla, which always gives it a boost.
06:34And sugar, half a cup.
06:37That will be enough.
06:38Three tablespoons of milk.
06:42And mix it.
06:45All it needs now is the ingredient that'll give it its flavor.
06:50100 grams of crushed cookies.
06:53It's that easy.
06:56Cream is ready.
06:57Into the container.
06:59We put the lid on.
07:01And now we have all three ready to go into our freezer.
07:07We're going to leave it here for 24 hours.
07:10And then we'll prepare them whenever we feel like it.
07:14Now comes the part we like the least about making ice cream, which is...
07:20Waiting.
07:24After 24 hours, let's get them ready.
07:29The time has come.
07:31And let me tell you something.
07:33Frozen like this.
07:34The three of them look like...
07:36A brick.
07:37Frozen yogurt mold.
07:40Remember, if you want a machine like this, I'll leave all the information in the video description
07:46so you can check it out at your leisure.
07:48You just have to put the containers you already froze into the pitcher.
07:52And look how easy it is to set up.
07:55Place it in the center.
07:57Give it a few twists.
07:59And it's ready.
07:59You select the program.
08:01And enjoy!
08:03This is the frozen yogurt program.
08:07In just a minute, this beauty is ready to enjoy.
08:12You can eat it as is, or store it in the freezer for whenever you want.
08:19We're off to a strong start.
08:22What a texture!
08:24Thanks!
08:25And heads up, once the ice cream is done, you can take pieces of cookie, put them inside,
08:31and stir what they call the mix-in setting.
08:35I'll leave that there as an idea.
08:37Because I think it could be interesting.
08:42I'm going with the second one.
08:45And I'm really curious about the texture.
08:47Recently, at Original Ice Cream Shop, I tried something like this.
08:53A sorbet.
08:54And it was so creamy, creamy.
08:56It felt like ice cream.
08:57Did we manage to get something similar?
09:00I'll repeat the process for you.
09:02It's really simple.
09:03You take the jar, put it inside the other one, cover it, and into the machine.
09:08No difficulty at all!
09:11Set it to sorbet mode, and you'll see how well it turns out.
09:17In just a few minutes, it gets blended and has the perfect texture.
09:23Now I'll use the gelato mode.
09:28And in this case, with the chocolate one.
09:30I've already got it in the machine, spinning around, and soon we'll take it out, open it
09:37up, and we'll also have this absolute beauty.
09:42I bet you're craving it!
09:44Now all that's left is to serve it.
09:47You can serve it as is, or leave it in the freezer waiting to surprise your guests.
09:57What do you think?
09:58To me it seems highly dangerous.
10:03And what do you think about this one?
10:07Much more refreshing, but just as creamy.
10:13Spectacular!
10:14And now my favorite, even before tasting it.
10:21It looks just as spectacular.
10:26All right, this one had an advantage because yogurt will always make it easier and creamier.
10:34But I think it's clear that it looks spectacular.
10:44Do you already know which one is my winner?
10:48I'm going to put the spoon in the one I like best.
10:51And also, it really surprised me.
10:59And not just because it's healthier, because it doesn't have fat, and therefore you can
11:05have it more often.
11:08It's because despite having that refreshing feeling of a slushie, it's totally creamy.
11:15You expected the cookie one to win, didn't you?
11:19Also, that classic version with the touch of yogurt, the frozen yogurt with cookie, turns
11:26out spectacular, but the surprise factor won me over.
11:34But what I liked most about the experiment was trying three different modes.
11:39Three textures besides classic ice cream, which the machine can make too.
11:45In fact, I looked for three that had a little something different.
11:53And I realized that you don't have to complicate things.
11:57You can use whatever you want, because it will turn it into an ice cream texture later on.
12:04You just prepare a tasty liquid and the machine does all the work.
12:14If you want a second round where I try more modes, let me know because it has a ton and
12:19I'm sure we'll be surprised again.
12:26Don't you think this idea is really practical?
12:29Bringing three tubs of 450 milliliters instead of one big one.
12:34That way you can prepare three different ice creams or make one big batch and split it among three different
12:42containers.
12:43It's much more versatile.
12:44I'll see you next time.
12:46Bye.
12:46Bye.
12:56Bye.
12:56Bye.
