Customer Reviews of Hamilton Beach Snowman Ice Shaver
Customer Rating:  Summary: Margaritas anyone? Comment: This Ice Shaver is the best thing thats ever happened to us when it comes to making Margaritas. This thing grinds ice for the rim of the cup very easy, the only work you have to do is push down. Now, I used to grind and push down so it was a lot of work but now, pushing down is all. Highly recommended for the price Customer Rating: Summary: Just as good as the ones at the fair! Comment: My wife and I just had the shaved ice snow cones at the local fair and wanted a machine to make our own at home. We purchased this unit from amazon and bought quality syrups from hawaiian shaved ice. We are very pleased and quite surprised the cones are just as good as the fair ones. Sure, the ice does shrink some when you add the syrup...but isn't that the best part...like the bottom half of the snow cone at the fair. Customer Rating:  Summary: Nothing special Comment: It is acceptable - nothing special. Takes about a minute for one serving, but when you add the syrup the volume of the ice decreases by half (unlike shave ice you buy from a vendor). I think I would have preferred a hand crank shave ice machine so I can control the speed. Acceptable for the money - good for kids, not for hosting a party. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Ice Shaver! Comment: This little machine kicks out a lot of shaved ice, and does so quickly. It exceeded my expectations. Buy good syrups from the coffee aisle (not the cheap snowcone kid's syrups), and you'll become a snow cone addict like myself using this machine. I was putting this HB Snowman through strenuous use making several treats a day for a couple of months. Thankfully, one night after having salmon for dinner and three huge snow cones, I ended up in the fetal position on my bathroom floor. I'm a recovering addict now, and only have one on the rare occasion since then. Anyway, the only thing I could possible complain about with this Snowman, is that if you fill your ice container too full, you'll have to shift the top of the machine around before it will catch the starting mechanism. Does that make sense? Probably not, but you'll see. Just don't think it's broken when you press down on your thick block of ice and nothing happens. I would recommend this machine to my mother, except that in my case, I would feel like I was offering her a bit of heroin. Customer Rating: Summary: Manual machine Comment: The ice shaver is easy to use, but my wife wanted the machine and she finds it too labor intensive. Also, I just received another machine which I did not order and was billed for on my account. I would like to return this machine and receive a credit on my account. Thanks, Chuck More Reviews Makes snow cones, smoothies and slushies. Use ice molds or ice cubes. Includes 2 ice molds and recipes. 
Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Choosing Appliance -> Taps Dual-flow mixers provide independent hot, cold or mixed water after leaving the end of the spout. They can be deck-mounted on the sink or pillar/bridge-mounted for a more traditional look. Alternatively, choose a monobloc tap, which is a single-hole fitting that usually has two handles for hot and cold water supply. Hamilton Beach Snowman Ice Shaver
Kitchen tips -> Cauliflower Add a little milk to the water or a few drops of vinegar when cooking cauliflower to help it keep its white color. |
