Ice Crusher

[Wayne]

What do people use to produce crushed ice?
For a very long time I used a manual crank ice crusher, until it broke last year. I replaced it with something similar. It broke today less than 12 months after I bought it.
Anyone have anything electric?

I have never needed crushed ice, but would 1cm cubes work? Kmart sells little silicon ice cube trays that are 1cm cubed when frozen. I keep some of those in the freezer but they do seem to evaporate out so I have to check they still have ice in them before they're needed...

Our school has a training centre for hospitality students. Some of the you beaut toys they have are an ice machine and crusher.

We've got a good relationship with the Home Ec Assistants so if we need a lot of ice or crushed ice we'll pop up and ask nicely.

Any idea if Home Ec may be able to help out?

Why do you need crushed ice? We just use bog standard ice for pracs.
