So utterly American is our beloved ice cream that it's hard to believe we didn't invent it on the Fourth of July. The best ice cream is homemade, and you can make it any day of the year with the Rival 6-quart ice cream maker. It's electric, which means it's a lot easier and faster to make ice cream now than it was for Thomas Jefferson, who brought the idea from Europe. And when you've had your fill of ice cream (that possible?), you can make sorbet, sherbet, ice milk and frozen yogurt.
