See full text

An ice cream making apparatus for chilling a solution with a freezer bowl having a great thermal capacity and being formed from a material that is thermally conductive. The freezer bowl has an interior surface that is generally radially symmetric and forms a container to hold the solution. A drive mechanism is included for rotating the solution at a rate sufficient to centrifugally disperse the solution onto a dynamic contact area of the interior surface. The interior surface having a contour that gives the solution a thin layer when centrifugally dispersed, the thin layer having an average thickness less than 1.5 cm to increase the rate of heat transfer from the solution to the freezer bowl.
