Ice cream shops that want to make large batches of premixed ice cream at once will need specialty freezers that mix, freeze and dispense the finished product. Gelato is a gelatin based ice cream that is best displayed in a special case that tilts the product towards the customer. Large tubs of ice cream usually find their home in a special freezer until a customer wants to give it a new home.
Commercial kitchens that want to have milkshakes quickly available for customer purchase can use special machines that can dispense multiple flavors. Soft serve ice cream is a favorite for buffets because customers serve themselves as much or as little as they want.
