Abstract: In an ice-cream maker comprised of a freezing tank provided with a heating system for pasteurizing its contents and of a storage container, which can be cooled and heated, the storage container is connected via at least one connecting line to the freezing tank. In order to construct such an ice-cream maker in such a way that, on the one hand, it remains possible to properly pasteurize the ice-cream mix but that, on the other hand, changes in the flavor of the ice-cream mix due to overheating or prolonged thermal loads are precluded, at least the storage container is arranged in a heating and cooling chamber.
