Keep It at the Right Temperature
Store ice cream at a consistent temperature of -20°F (-29°C) or colder to maintain its creamy texture and prevent ice crystals from forming.
Seal the Container Well
Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent air from entering. This helps avoid freezer burn and keeps the ice cream from absorbing any other odors in the freezer.
Use an Airtight Container
Opt for a sealed, airtight container to protect the texture and flavor of the ice cream from being compromised by exposure to air.
Avoid Storing Ice Cream on the Freezer Door
Store ice cream in the back of the freezer where temperatures remain stable, rather than on the door where the temperature fluctuates.
Don’t Overload the Freezer
Ensure there’s enough space around the ice cream for air to circulate. Overcrowding the freezer can cause temperature fluctuations that affect ice cream consistency.
