What Tool(s) To Use To Crush Ice Cubes Fast
I can put ice cubes into a plastic bag and swing it down to the
floor. It works -- one big problem -- the second swing breaks the plastic bag. I put heavy nuts (nut and bolt nuts) into a container and shook the container. This barely works at all. I bought an expensive blender. The shaft broke inside where it cannot be gotten to. I have run the cubes under that tap. This works fast but I don't like having to make twice the ice. -------- One of you has an idea of something I can put on the kitchen counter or on the garage work bench and crush 10 or 12 cubes of ice with one pull of a lever or one blow of a hammer or some thing-a-ma-bob I can by in hardware or automotive store. Please give me your ideas even if you haven't had time to prove them. I would really appreciate it. R E Williams, Surrey, British Columbia |

R E Williams, Surrey, British Columbia Take one thick rubber glove, one metric ton of ice cubes, one largeasss bucket, and a simple stainless steel tablespoon. Pick up one ice cube, rap soundly with the rounded portion of the tablespoon, dump in bucket. Rinse, repeat until you can find some other idiot to take over for you. -- When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else.

R E Williams, Surrey, British Columbia dad used to use a gunny sack and the broad side of a three pound mallet to crush ice for the ice cream freezer.

The long arm of an iced-tea spoon gives a better mechanical advantage. Fast-moving light impactor gets you to cracked ice with minimum energy input, as long as the ice cube is cold and brittle. You can also get an ice shaver, lots of 'em on the market for slush drinks (or juleps for the grownups) - it's just a bucket with a plane-like knife blade on the bottom and a cranked wheel of icespikes on top. |

The ice scraper has been around a long time.... used for making snow cones (as I recall) and the like, as you noted. A snow cone machine is similar. The inside scrapers are blades, about 2" long, mounted each side of a disc, similar to looking at the bottom of a hand planer. Load the ice in one end and a plunger is used to push the ice through the shaving disc, which is spun by a motor. Sonny |

Besides, Bourbon is domestic, I can afford it. Ditto mint. For a good Scotch, all I can afford is the splash of branch water... |
