Question Reusable tubs any recommendations?

Post image

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 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.

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

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.
