Donvier

Last updated

Donvier is a brand of popular Japanese-made ice cream makers, originally produced by Nippon Light Metal and distributed in the United States by Virginia Beach, Virginia-based Nikkal Industries from 1984 to 1990, and currently manufactured and sold by Browne & Co. under their Cuisipro brand. [1] [2]

The ice cream maker consists of a cylindrical metal tub (with refrigerant sealed inside) that is frozen overnight. An accompanying hand crank is then used to turn a paddle that makes ice cream from a mixture within the tub. [3] [4]
