How do I seal ice cream containers?
I want to make ice cream, put them into pint containers (or, hopefully of any custom size in the future) and have the containers be sealed with a film like Häagen-Dazs does.
A machine would be ok. Manual would be fine too. I just want to know where to get the equipment and/or some instructions. Thank you.
