This passive thermal reservoir system uses a high-density brine coolant sealed within a 304 food-grade stainless steel pan. Specifications indicate it is unpowered, functioning as a heat exchanger that requires no electricity during use. Features include dual reinforced stainless steel spatulas designed for scraping and rolling frozen mixtures on the surface.
The outer rim is made of BPA-free polypropylene, which acts as a thermal barrier to protect hands while the plate is at sub-zero temperatures. For the unit to perform effectively, it must be stored in a freezer for at least 12 hours, ideally face-down, to ensure the internal brine freezes evenly across the work surface.
Practical safety features include a fully submersible design for easy cleaning, as there are no electronic components. While the working window is approximately 20-30 minutes per freeze cycle, it is a reliable tool for making 1-2 servings of rolled ice cream or gelato at a time.
If you would like a machine that does the chilling for you without needing freezer space, the Whynter compressor-based roller is a high-end alternative.
