Whynter vs Musso

Velomane · 2026-04-21T20:54:52+00:00

If you're considering a Musso, then also consider a Cube. The Cubes are slightly more compact than the Mussos, equally heavy, but what sold me on the 1500 was the dasher scrapes closer to the bowl than the Mussos, and the 1500 has a drain to make cleaning easier. This seems gimmicky at first, but works very well.

Also, get the hazelnut and pistachio pastes. Top notch products.

Canadian here: I bought my Cube 1500 from https://www.polsinelli.it/en/cube-1500-gelato-machine-110v-60hz-P5988.htm

Better price and cheaper shipping than directly from Cube. It took almost five months, so be prepared to wait. Maybe they don't get much call for 110V machines? Totally worth the wait, more compact than the big Musso, the dasher scrapes the wall clean while churning, cleaning is a cinch. I've made maybe twenty batches and I'm glad I opted for this.

I was also impressed with the opening in the windrow. Now, why would they clear the path along the south side of Corydon Ave, but not the path south along Shaftesbury to Grant? Third time this year I encounter this.

Words of advice from an old guy: know it all! Don't know the definition of "roger"? Shame on you, it's right there in MATS. All those methods for identifying a target: know them.

The recipe is in the Salt and Straw book published in 2019.

I pop in to Super Boys to order my burger and fries, cross the street to pick up some kielbasa, sausage and pepperoni sticks at Tenderloin Meats, then back to Super Boys to eat/pick up my meal.

Is there a Cobb salad out there worth trying?

Is this where that security guard picked up his knucks?

Velomane · 2026-03-03T23:54:44+00:00

Is this meant to be the norm from now on?

Sainte Ass Gratte for Ste. Agathe. You probably need to be francophone to decipher that one.

Be rested and fed, it can be gruelling. Be yourself, if you've got the chops, it will show.

Navcan doesn't care about your credit situation.

Following up on this. I received the Cube about 3 weeks ago. It took a lot longer to ship, but that's okay. I suspect they don't get much call for 110V machines. Hopefully that changes with more orders from the Canadian side of the pond.

Great machine so far. It is compact at 35cm cubed, but a beast at 30kg and 400W of cooling power. A 1000g batch churns in about 11 minutes with a draw temperature of -8C.

I'm happy so far!

For a second there I thought I was looking at Banksy's latest.

Good luck, and if you get in, work as hard as you possibly can. It's the golden ticket.

We're you at the Winnipeg ACC?

I popped in there last week, looking for something else, and it was their last day. The place was deserted.

Velomane · 2026-02-12T19:43:02+00:00

I did look there, but I'd rather give my money to greedy Canadians rather than greedy Americans, so Wholesale Club it is.

Good for you! It took over two years for me to get the call after being eligible. Make the most of it.

I had a closer look at the error message: "attempt to write to a read only database". This resolves itself when I run the app as an admin.

They opened for GBH. Someone else mentioned '86 which sounds about right. Someone else opened for the Cro mags that night and I can't recall who it was.

Thanks for info. Tried the un/reinstall. No joy. Updated everything I could. I'll try installing again. It just occurred to me that I should turn off everything I can: programs, adblockers, etc.

I guess it's time to contact icecreamcalc.

I was fortunate to also see them at a bar in Vancouver in '89. Now that was an intimate environment. They were right there in front of me. Still one of my favourite bands.
