One of the best parts of a well-crafted drink is the ice cubes that chill it. A steady supply of well-crafted ice used to be reserved for restaurants and bars. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case.
If there is anything we have learned in recent times, it is that the ability to relax to the max at home is important. That’s why we are glad that ice makers have made their way into the home kitchen. Are you wondering what the hype is really all about? Let us show you.
Home Ice Machines Come In A Variety Of Forms
When we say home ice maker, we don’t just mean the one on the door of your refrigerator that slowly fills one cup at a time.
If you want a machine that is ready to go wherever you need a cold beverage, you can purchase a portable ice maker.
Most portable ice makers sit on tables, counters, or bar tops and use water that is added to a reservoir to produce ice cubes. This means you do not need any special ice maker hookups or water supplies to have great ice on the go.
If you want a machine that blends into the design of your kitchen but produces ice far better than any refrigerator, a built-in ice machine is the way to go. These ice makers produce large amounts of fresh ice cubes at a rapid pace.
With built-in machines, you can create large amounts of ice without taking up extra counter space in your kitchen.
Home Ice Makers Create Cleaner Ice Than Refrigerators
Refrigerators and freezers are used for storing much more than ice. This means that your ice has an increased chance of cross-contamination with things other than water. A beverage with floating particles is not enjoyed by anyone.
Ice that is stored next to other foods can also pick up the flavor of foods around it.
Continuous opening of the freezer and the moving of its contents stir up dust and grime that then settles into your freezer’s icebox. Most people rarely empty and wash out their ice boxes. When they do, they are often surprised at the amount of grime in the bottom!
Portable ice makers have the sole job of creating the freshest ice possible for your family. The machine does not store other food or items that can bring in cross-contamination of the ice.
Also, because the machine is opened much less frequently than refrigerators, and is often emptied, it stays cleaner than freezer ice.
Clean ice creates great-looking drinks with exceptional taste.
You Can’t Beat The Ease and Convenience Of Home Ice Machines
Without a home ice machine, some families get ice from their refrigerator doors. However, many times this method is slow and the number of cubes available at any one time is limited.
If your refrigerator does not have a built-in ice maker then there is always the option of ice trays or bagged ice from the store. Then you will need to fill and empty the trays every time you wish to make ice or drive to the store and spend money on bagged ice.
A home commercial ice maker does not require special ice machine hookups. They do not need constant attention and have a faster ice production and ice-making process than refrigerator machines. Plus, some of them are portable too.
Once you plugin and fill a home ice machine with water, or connect it to a water source, you will have a steady supply of fresh ice whenever you need it most. No hidden steps, and no costly trips to the store for more ice in the middle of your best party.
Home Ice Machines Raise Your Hospitality To The Next Level
When we have friends and family over to visit we want them to feel welcome and well cared for.
By having a home ice machine you can know you are giving your guests great drinks that are refreshing and made with healthy clean ice.
We can already hear your friends asking about your machine and how they can get one for themselves.
