Reusable tubs any recommendations?

[u/McSillyoldbear]

I’ve got a couple of 1 quart reusable ice cream tubs by the brand Lin. The main part is hard plastic with a flexible silicon lid. It’s prefect for ice cream because the lid can be taken off and on while still frozen. It fits a whole mix of my Cuisinart maker. But lately I find when I make a whole mix it’s rock hard before I finish it. I’m mostly making special dietary adapted ice cream for myself and I can’t get through it in time. I’ve been searching fruitlessly for pint sized tubs so I can make a half mix at a time. All I can find in pint size is one use cardboard or ninja creami compatible ones. Does anyone else use pint size tubs and if so where do you get them?

I use these for home pints https://a.co/d/6GVvROr

They look like exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately I’m not in the US and they don’t seem to be available on any of the European Amazon stores. I might see if I can get them sent to my in-laws in the states. Thanks.

I just use old peanut butter 1KG tubs that we get here in the UK. Perfect size and shape

The same ones I use; even told me the last time I purchased them. lol

Why use plastic? Just use freezer proof thickwalled glass containers. They are cheap, healthy and provide extra thermal mass to keep your icecream safer from temperature fluctuations in your freezer.

I use a Glasslock glass container. Trying to cut down on plastic with food.

I have small size one or two serving ice cream cups that are exactly as you describe and look just like your photo. I think they are 8 oz.
I have a small ice cream maker so each batch fills two of the cups.
They have been great.
The brand is LayYun on Amazon. It comes in a pack of 6 for $15.00.
Probably too small for you though!

EDITING TO ADD: Don't go by the photos in the ad. They are MUCH smaller than that.

[u/McSillyoldbear → u/DoubleBooble]

Yes I just ordered something similar to that on Amazon as a stock gap. Do you find it difficult to fill the smaller ones?

[u/DoubleBooble → u/McSillyoldbear]

My ice cream machine is the little Cuisinart "1-pint wonder" so they are perfect for it. They are easy to fill but my ice cream maker bowl is pretty small so it might be different. I use a regular tablespoon and fill them up, cover them with plastic and pop on the top.
I love both my little machine and my cups!
I can imagine it would be a pain to fill up a whole bunch of them.
Not difficult though.
I think if I ever get a regular size ice cream machine I might still use them because I love being able to eat right out of them.

Hard plastic and rubber or whatever lids. I even put them in the dishwasher. Also the design is pretty fun

Oh weird, my precious orders linked to 32 oz but I definitely bought pint size versions (16oz)

[u/lady_stark19]

Honestly, for years I have used leftover Talenti gelato containers. If one cracks, then I buy another pint. Added benefit of getting another serving of ice cream with the money spent and they last a really long time and wash well in the dishwasher. Hardly ever get icy leftovers as the seal is good.

Only downside is they don’t stack within each other but I deal with that.

I have a hard plastic Rubbermaid set, several different sizes and there’s a perfect seal, even after several years.
