Ice cream maker recommendations?

[trisho.]

Thanks everyone. I think I'm going to get the Williams Sonoma 1.5 qt set with the extra "free" bowl". It still works out to $10 less than getting an extra bowl on Amazon.com even with free shipping (and both charge NY taxes).

Another ice cream question: I want to fake make my own ice cream this afternoon for a bbq this evening. I'm going to take good vanilla ice, mint chocolate cookie pieces & crumbs, peppermint extract and some Andes candies and mix them all together. I was planning to do it by hand at first but I may use my Kitchen Aid mixer just for some help. I put one of the bowls in the freezer right now to freeze. What do you guys think of this? Will it work:

1. mix all ingredients together in the cold Kitchen Aid bowl
2. stick in the freezer covered
3. go to Bed Bath and Beyond to get these metal containers to transport the ice cream: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/Product....1555401943&SKU=13358559&
4. return home, pack the ice cream in the containers and shove them back in the freezer for another two hours
5. transport the ice cream in bags full of ice to the (indoor) bbq and put them in the host's freezer when I arrive.

Can you tell I'm overly ambitious when it comes to food? Am I out of my league with this one or is it feasible?

Thanks for any more possible insight!
