I Bought an Unused McFlurry Maker on eBay from 2003

I feel sorry for a lot of children that got this! However, it was McFun in the end! Here's the McDonald's Apple Pie Maker Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L8LXwuvE7g

Barry: *Doesn't follow directions* Also Barry: "I don't know why it didn't work."

Most people would put the lid on the metal canister before adding the salt to the outer edge.

Doesn't follow directions, uses wrong cream... "Why doesn't it work?" 😂

You did a great job of demonstrating why the parent hid that away after reading the instructions.

Nearly 20-year-old food - I thought Ashens would pop up!!😆

Somebody probably got it as a gift, opened the box to look at the stuff inside and decided they didn't want it after all.

10 minutes was way too long. that's why it was all stuck to the sides. if you had only gone 5 minutes like it said, it would more consistent and most of it would have come out.

As someone who works in a McDonald's as a technical supervisor, basically repairing and maintaining equipment, I can confirm that this is how McFlurries are made.

I love how little you get out of it 😂 it's like that Simpsons gag where they get a quarter glass of juice from a whole bag of oranges

Dessert Mix that's nearly 20 years old & went off in 07 Someone call Ashens

I admit I bought something similar for my 6 year old in the early naughties! 😂 She made a horrendous mess then asked to go to Tesco to buy ice cream instead 😂 Hilarious video 👍😂

"Oh WOW! That's freezing!" - Yeah Barry... it's ice...

Barry did it ever cross your mind to put that lid on before adding salt ??

It's just a manual ice cream churn with the McDonald's logos and mix. You churned it too long. That's why you couldn't get the frozen product off the metal

Point of fact, this McFlurry maker is closer to an old style ice cream churn, in that you have a metal bin surrounded by ice and salt. The warm water is there to dissolve the salt and raise the freezing point of the ice, causing it to melt whilst still being at a temp of 0º-5ºC. As others have said, you over-churned it. You read the directions, it didn't say 10 minutes, it said 4-6. That's on you mate, sorry to say. Try it again, churning for less time. Oh, and I'd recommend using a homemade creme anglaise base instead of just cream and sugar. Flavor it with vanilla bean if you like, or with cocoa powder if you fancy a chocolate flurry. Past that, there's all manner of homemade candy you can put in, like honeycomb, various brittles, pecan pralines, frozen & chopped fruit pies would be lovely(cherry pie with chocolate ice cream would be smashing), or you could even fold in ribbons of marmalade, jam, or citrus curd. And let's not forget all the homemade versions of commercial candies you've done over the years.

you had it in the ice for too long!! you should have done the 4-6 minutes as guided - then the edge bits would have been able to be squeezed through into the cup - and then you churn the softer and firmer bits in the cup to make it uniform! low key im kinda jelly coz i want one!

every time you go "out of date" I anticipate Ashens coming out from around the corner

I refuse to accept that 2003 was over 20 years ago.
