Nice cream

Progress EK4390P, £49.99, Robert Dyas

Measuring in at 22.5 x 20.4 x 20.4cm, this compact ice-cream maker won’t take up too much space on your worktop. Despite being smaller in size than many, it features a large 1.4-litre bowl, which means that you can easily rustle up a family-sized batch of sorbet or ice-cream. There’s also a transparent viewing window, which is ideal for any little helpers who want to get involved and watch the progress of their favourite sweet treat.

We love: The non-slip rubber base that keeps the machine securely in place to avoid any spillages.
